The poor always suffers the most.
Not always
Grumpys cats Best Friend
... and they are always the kindest and most thoughtful.
@@DharmaDerelict not true
I agree
@Henrik Enemark yep wet as a neglected vagina
I myself have lost a home to a hurricane (Houston). I feel for these good folks. As long as u survive, material goods will be replaced- cliche i know...but true
God bless you. Writing here from Michigan where most don't experience flooding, and certainly not hurricanes (except for the occasional rains we get as a result of the most powerful ones). What you have written is NOT cliche. No need to respond. Just wanting to let you know that I care. Go on to bless others through your personal experiences, as painful as they have been. I also know about pain. -Love, Tom
independent vote I was renting a house in Rock port, but Harvey destroyed it, had to move to Corpus Christi.
I myself have suffered during Harvey. I pray you’re in a better place now.
I feel you I was helping up my own dog in that video into the military truck a little after my house got flooded
STOP GIVING YOUR MONEY TO CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS & SO CALLED “CHARITIES” just about every cent goes to pay salaries,bonuses, etc..Do something to directly help someone or groups of people affected if you can..Research smaller local charities rather than the household name ones..
Very true statement and very wise advice👍
I wholeheartedly agree with this. Far too many Americans are deceived and foolish enough to think that organizations like Red Cross are using most their donation money to help, if you look at the stats its actually like 10% is used for charity and 90% is given as salary and "cost of operation", whatever the hell that actually means.
but the President for red cross needs a raise. they only make $550,000 a year, that is almost poverty level
@@joshuaperkings5155 I worked as a "temp" for the Red Cross many (28) years ago. In NY. I saw a little of what was going on. I sometimes think it would be better to give the people prepaid credit cards to pay for their lodging and their food. Although the Red Cross does do some good things there is also corruption to some degree. There are other charities that are far more corrupt. Check Charity Navigator before donating, just my 2 cents
I have found a blessed one
😢 I'm praying for all the ones who's suffering through that
It is still disastrous badly
I lost my apartment and had to start over because of Florence, now almost a year later I'm hoping dorian stays away from NC. 🙏
We slept through florence and and Dorian
With climate change bringing a rise in ocean levels and increased water temperature, we can expect to see increased frequency and severity of storms. There are some basic precautions every household can take to be better prepared for weather-related emergencies and prolonged power outages. Every household should have stored in the home three day's worth of bottled water for each household member including pets, two week's worth of shelf-stable easy to prepare food, a one burner butane stove with extra butane cylinders for safe indoor cooking, a solar powered/battery-powered emergency radio, flashlights/headlamps/battery-powered camp lanterns with plenty of spare batteries for each household member, a first aid kit and training in basic first aid and CPR. Everyone who owns a vehicle suitable for highway travel should never let the fuel tank get below half-full and should be familiar with at least two evacuation routes just in case there is a situation that calls for immediate evacuation. You cannot alter what Mother Nature throws at you, but you can choose to stay prepared so you can cope better with it should the worst happen.
Bless your heart...
Been praying for you people... I have been to your town a few years ago on a mission trip. The town new Bern was pretty much empty at that time. Hope you guys get all the support you need...
several weeks notice to get prepared to sit out the storm since you chose not to evacuate but you did nothing but mad at the world cause you have no food or power? when Harvey hit Houston my family was prepared since we decided to stay and not evacuate. plenty food, water,fuel and generators kept us comfortable and safe and left the handouts to those that needed. when the rain stopped i joined several rescues teams in my area using my Drones and my lifted truck to help locate people in need.
Some can't afford to leave. And they can't afford to stock pile.
Good for you being prepared hope you shared. But bro your a dickhead no matter how much you "helped"
dont need money to evacuate. the city was busing people out for free and taking them to shelters. but thanks for the compliment ive been called worse.
@@The_Black_Sheep95 dickhead not everyone got a free bus ride out . And many people in North Carolina affected we're poor and out in the country. Not city slicking dickheads like yourself.
Yeah compliment alright 😂
lmao bro you may be right and i might not have been as compassionate as i should of been. dickhead signing out....peace
The problem is they see you as not them or me I am poor but don't live off the system, these poor that get hurt so bad are conditioned to being taken care of so the panic when it doesn't happen emediatly, this is the fallacy of socialism. It never works for the best of anybody. You no teach a person to feed and care for themselves and they will just aoutmaticly prepare and or ready themselves to evacuate.
There are many who cannot afford a generator. Its easy to run out of food, water and supplies. How do you keep food cold or heat food up when the power goes out??? "Why didn't they evacuate???" If you have no money, are you inclined to let someone load you onto a bus and ship you hundreds of miles from home?? Many people aren't; because its too many unanswered questions. A lot of people dont want to be in dangerous shelters or camps.
And to see all these elderly and disabled Blacks is disheartening. Young Black men need to step it up and start being men. Its our jobs to get food, water and supplies to our most vulnerable.
Grill all meats you have
Florence may have come through 2 years ago, but its effect is still here today.
Excellent and well coordinated rescue operation.
Three “however many hundred years floods” happened In just one.
1. Hurricane Harvey
2. Hurricane Florence
3. Hurricane Michael
I was forced to evacuate as well however in our area in SE NC we were blessed with only minor damage due to debri. If the storm came in on our area just 50 miles more to the south we would have been flooded as well. I feel the pain of all these people and we are all working together to help with the needs of those who have lost everything. Please continue with prayers for NC
The cable news barely shows anything about NC/SC weeks later and now there is another hurricane bearing down on the panhandle of FL.
Thank you to all the rescue workers who made the difference between life and death for NOT only my son but everyone in Florence's path. My son was 11 and his father chose not to leave their trailer near back gate of the base until 3 that morning that Florence hit. I was so very lucky to have found them the very last hotel room that still had power in j'ville . He put my son's life in danger by not leaving before he did . I thank God nothing happened to him before they got to their safe place. I just feel so badly for all of the rest of that area for the people that didn't have that choice to evacuate . I know this is 6 years later , but I still wanted to thank everyone who had anything to do with rescuing people of the NC beaches and surrounding areas. ❤❤❤ Also to everyone who made food to deliver to the people who didn't have anything. God bless all of you. ❤❤❤
I’m crying while watching this. I know what these individuals are going through. I myself have suffered greatly during Hurricane Harvey. Bless everyone that is going through this. Stay strong, it will get better I promise.
God bless all first responders and the people who fed the hungry during the storm
Praying now intensely for those dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Florence. In Michigan we have snow from light to heavy (sometimes ice storms) in winter. We have a few tornadoes here and there in spring and summer. We have thunderstorms and plenty of rain year-round. Yet our conditions are gentle and moderate compared to the Carolina coast and other places vulnerable to hurricanes. God bless everyone on the east coast where the Atlantic Ocean is not always gentle. -With love, -T.
I was in this hurricane and thank you to all the people that help
awww I go to South Carolina every year for vacation and make good memories but this happens! I feel so bad
👍Excellent video. Thank you Washington Post for selecting clips that show the multi-state coordination and preparation, the gathering impact and devastation of Hurricane Florence, and the impact on individuals. Very well done.
200 year flood? Mother nature is not on a schedule. If you flooded move.
I remember food lion making us work through this lol
My home. 💔
Me and my parents and brother got to Tennessee and Virginia the rest of my family got trapped for a couple of weeks in delco, nc
Dumb question from someone who lives in the desert, but how far away should you live from the rivers to avoid their flooding your house?
I've watched many of these videos and they make it seem like the entire city is under water.
We're there are not effected much? What is the typical damage like in an average home? Do all the roofs in Wilmington get replaced?
It's hard to know what the "normal" damage is when videos only focus on major disasters.
I'm actually thinking of moving to Wilmington, I'd like to avoid flood zones as a basic precaution. Maybe live outside of town at higher elevation, not near a river.
These need stories make it seem like big bad wolf is simply blowing down every home.
I grew up in Arizona and Colorado and my parents retired to south Carolina. The majority of neighborhoods are just planned poorly and don't have adequate drainage routes. Their yard floods regularly but it does drain downwards at least. When it rains there it pours like a shower if not worse. It's not even so much the rivers as it is poor planning due to generally lower income and just tons of water. The better planned communities have proper drainage and are on higher ground.
I live in one of the Carolinas (don’t wanna say) and my parents prepared and probably spent more than 200$ on preparing and nothing happened.....what a rip
You got lucky. I live near the state line in sc and we got inundated with water. Lots of main roads flooded and closed. We had 8-12 inches of water sitting in our driveway and yard. It was terrible.
You know what man, Somebody needs to somehow invent a shrink ray. So if there is a flood/tornado, or anything like that, you can shrink your house and get the hell outa there.
It is accurately referred to as "the 500-year flood" in North Carolina by meteorologists and historians, due to the rarity of flood stages that extreme. We are from Eastern North Carolina and I don't believe any of us had ever witness anything down there that actually topped 20 and 25 ft above flood stage in many areas. That's actually difficult to visualize even in retrospect.
My family survived this thank God we lost everything we had but we got out thank God it still saddens me when i watch videos about it😢
Is make me 😥 remember myself was in a Typhoon. I was living with out power for a year
A year
I was a cop for 30 years, saw some horrible things. The closest thing I have to PTSD is when I remember working and living through Hurricane Florence. The Northeast Cape Fear River flooded my property, got in my workshop, and stopped just six feet short of my house. It rained, and rained, and rained. Four years later, and you can still see the results on Hwy 41 near Wallace, NC: There are vacant homes and people still living in campers.
It seems as before a hurricane starts everybody focuses on it. During the hurricane all eyes on the TV screen... But after the hurricane everyone seems to forgot 😕 And goes about there life
💯
I’m a Carolina resident and you can’t be any more correct. My Uncle’s beach house was completely destroyed and my beach condo is being gutted in the walls, floor, and roof. It’s still healing, there’s still floods, our piers and the scenery I loved since I was a child is completely different and a lot of small local restaurants are gone. It’ll take many, many years before we’re up to speed again.
Matthew and Florence just about decimated Life as we know it in North Carolina..... I was 8 years old when Fran came and we were out of power for a half month.... We were out for a week with Matthew...... But Florence did actual damage with wind that I don't think this part of our state has seen since Fran.... I remember for the first time of my life that I can recall that they had to spray the state for mosquitoes because they were just so so bad and we ain't talking no anorexic weight watcher mosquitoes now we talking about size of a small car and they would bite through your clothes..... This year's hurricane prediction forecast has already given me so much anxiety and worry..... Because there are so many places that are not the same since Matthew and Florence came through...... I just hope beg and plead and pray that it is not as bad as they say it might be for anybody...... Cuz it's not just about what it does to you financially it's about what it does to you emotionally mentally spiritually...... Going through a disaster cannot be truly explained unless you went through one.... Because it's not just the while the storm is happening it's all the prep work before and all the worry and recovery in the aftermath..... I just pray for safeness, compassion, and for the strength for everyone who may be impacted this year...from anything.....may we all be protected and blessed in every way ❤🙌🙏🙌❤
For some reason every hurricane is a 200 year hurricane... doesn’t seem like a coincidence
Not to sound harsh but how can people expect others to help and they all in the same situation. These are natural disasters, we have to prep for this.
On the main land, everyone can help. On Puerto Rico our government and ‘resident in the white house’ failed.
Praying for all the families in South Carolina that suffered from this hurricane....
This is a rich part of the world and people complaining that life is hard, guess how it is in a poor country!
Climate denier can continue denied so they don't need to sacrifice anything them self!
still nice climate change affects rich countries too not only poor!
People getting nicer when it happen to them...
Thank you, blhtml. I hear you. I respect you. Please forgive me for not being able to speak your language. It is true that the Carolinas are in a rich part of the world. Yet, when storms come, the storms are terrible. Storms affect everyone, rich or poor. I live in Michigan, far inland (protected) from the storms. It is calm here. But should I feel calm? No. My spirit cries out to those experiencing the horrible storm. I want all people, everywhere in the world, to be safe and know that they are loved. -Tom
@steve b Every part of the US has natural weather disasters. Where do you live that nothing occurs?
The area that was hit hard, is actually a poor area of NC.
These people lost EVERYTHING. Everything.
Combined with still recovering from a previous major hurricane, still.
'
wow big beautifully heavy rainy stormy weathery in east coast, america...
keep continue heavy weather in allday - allnight - everyday - everynight until end of 2022
These people are so nice and I love that
We Lost Power & Natural Gas for 2 weeks. We chose to never turn back on the Natural Gas due to Fear of Damaged Pipes from neighbors line. It was Hot & Humid. 😵😵 And an area of the yard was like a Swamp! 😷 I've been through many Floods. But this one was the WORST!! 😞
I live in Greenville,NC we had gone out of power,but good god I didn’t know it was that bad over there, we had at least 7 inches of rain and trees down everywhere, but if u ever get the chance to ride down to the coast most houses are still destroyed or need a lot of work...
We had No Way to Call anyone cause No Electricity to Charge Phones. Years later.. Now we have a few portable chargers but still not enough. As per Hot Food ... It was a week before any Family member that came by to see how we were. My niece came with a friend & brought Food. We were Blessed to see someone cared. 😥 We Lost ALOT of stuff that we stored in Basement & yard plus 4 Cars. 😭😭

Beautiful said Lisa ♡
Those are borrowed words & I failed to properly credit the author. However, they are endorsed by God Almighty so that rightfully supersedes as all Glory goes to Him!
Amen.
“This is our greatest opportunity for reaching souls.”
Christians profiting off of disasters for nearly 2,000 years. Cool.
Your religious quotes won't help them. Will it increase their safety, pay for all of the damages, help in any kind of (real) way? Makes me laugh.
In America when a hurricane comes the whole city shuts down, and meanwhile in a typhoon people still drive around in the middle of a typhoon...
Even if I was living paycheck to paycheck, I would still try to get out. Idc if I had to take a bike and put my child on the back of that bike. No excuse to stay. Mental illness is real.
Hell they could have even taken the hundreds of free buses that were going around impoverished areas an picking people up and taking them to shelters.
New Bern really did well considering the damage they sustained. Those people really rose to the occasion.
Proud of New Bern!!
At min 4:56 it Talks bout New Bern & you see some of the damage.
I haven’t been in a hurricane and this is the first time...was a nightmare to everyone,my house if fine but it’s hard for kids and adult,water has been out and in and my friends are most in new bern and that a danger zone,the power out a lot,this is just in unbelievable......all my friends and me are in danger so help the Carolina be back together!
and now there is another one coming...hurricane michael. dang i feel for those living there
florence is harvey reincarnated
those aid workers are real heroes ,
And I was outside trying to get away with my little boat.
Part3: I live in Nashville TN. When we went through a devastating flood back in May 2010 FEMA was on it right away! Once the flood waters backed off & recovery began I like many other citizens of Davidson Co. did the paperwork for FEMA relief to simply get our lives back together. The difference between then & now is I received a check in just over a week‼️I slowly & wisely began to piece my home back together. I stretched the $ out as far as possible. The OBAMA ADMINISTRATION was ON IT! The only stipulation was I had to reside in my home for 3yrs & I wouldn’t owe anything. Zero!!! It’s 2018 & I’m still here! This is the way it SHOULD BE! But let’s fast forward to now.... To pay for the massive tax cuts for the wealthy FEMA & other programs have been gutted. Citizens of SOUTH CAROLINA I have sympathy(& empathy)for you but guys THIS IS WHAT YOU VOTED FOR! Enjoy!!!
One of the reasons to be mormon is the faith teaches its members to be self reliant during emergencies. Emergency food and supplies for a couple months is a good start. Always have everything on hand ....that you cannot buy in a store.
what happens if your house floods with 6 feet of water, the food will be underwater and floating around.
Couldn’t they move the storm like they did on 9/11? Oh wait, they moved the storm like 9/11. Nevermind..
How devastating !!!! 😦 !!! I could not even imagine !!! 😔
I remember me looking out the window and saw a whole movie scene I remember I said to myself this is not a scene this is a real thing I remover my little sister started crying I was getting ready to go to sleep I was in the bathroom BOMM The power went out all night I heard the wind sooooo loud I didn’t know what to do me my mom dad 3 sisters were all panicking I was holding my dog we went to the basement I just felt like I was ganna die all night my front door stared opening and closing that same night when the hurricane hit category 4 my whole family started praying 🙏 I lived like this for about 5 days Tha k God I’m okay I’m here my house is good except my front and backyard my family is alive I’m happy I could share this experience
Got lucky no house flooding but me and my wife and 2 kids were without power for 6 days 5 year old and a 1 year don't like no power but luckily I credit carded a generator before storm that helped some I'm more prepared now got window ac units stored in barn cause 86 degrees in house just won't cut it
At 4:06 ! What in the heck was THAT!??
Remember Hurricane Florence the worst Hurricane to hit North Carolina since Hugo in 1989. I feel bad for these people. :(
God bless the first responders and volunteers.
I don't understand; the hurricane was known for a long time, why did they not evacuate or make arrangements? Especially for the children, disabled, and elderly. Were they denied help and services? Perhaps the systems in place were inadequate? I know to never rely on bureaucratic assistance, they are the last resort. I used to work for the government, I know how corrupt it really is.
The last lady interviewed I couldn't make out what she was saying, her accent is too thick. Sounded like it was about not having police help and someone needs to do something?
Given the initial estimates of weather ferocity, and original predictions of devastation, I was surprised on how little harm happened. It could have been much worse. Mostly flooding damage, almost no loss of life or injuries, unless they were being suppressed.
That's the risk of living in a region prone to hurricanes, the possibility of water and wind destruction. Good to have insurance coverage.
My prayers go out to all.
My family members used to say there were FEMA camps (Alex Jones said so), these disasters goes to show how inept FEMA is.
Some folks simply don't have anywhere else to go. They don't have family or friends outside the affected area or money to afford hotel lodging.
I am so glad I'm out of that water, sad to say some houses down the street are still trying to get water out their yard
Awesome job first responders, going above and beyond! 🇨🇦
We need a launch pad away from florence
As someone who has seen the aftermath in person this is painful
When we were getting help he fell of a jet ski and hurt his arm
Just know that there are still people in Puerto Rico without power
Its rained once for 44 hours and the water never rose over a foot so that's why i believe im in a flood free area. Now theres a river a couple miles from where i live that rose over and flooded but its unlikely it Will travel all the way and flood my area.
I am so glad I live in Michigan. We don't have hurricanes. Yes our weather is a yo-yo but we don't have that kind of weather.
I understand people that don't have the money to evacuate. I wouldn't either but I would try to get all of the supplies I needed to get by. I wouldn't be able to get it all at once so I would get it over time
When you live anywhere that a hurricane might come through stock up on food and supplies during the year.
I sincerely hope they get their lives back to something like normal soon!!
Sadly its like the 4th "200 year flood" in the past 10 years
say “democracy die in darkness”?
What a crazy hurricane
I always wonder why there are death tolls when warnings are given in advance.. Enough time to evacuate. Stop being stubborn! You can build back a house but you wouldn't even get the chance if you're dead.
Do I really wanna move to New Bern after watching this?
Was that lightning
mean while here in southern California we just got our first storm of the season which lasted a whole 5 mins lol
They call that bad ? SMFH !!! Good thing they're not Puerto Rico !!! They had ALL TEAMS & ALL SUPPLIES waiting ahead of time while Puerto Rico today still suffers !!
6:41 THE BEARDED LADY ESCAPED THE CIRCUS AGAIN!
What is going on at the 4:06 mark??
I feel bad for that doggo
I mean I nearly got hit by that hurricane but really for me a free week of if school because they thought we would get wrecked
Wow!? Someone should.
Min 1:25 is New Bern. I Lived not far from this pic.
So Carolinas, how do you feel about the government now. What would you do without government help?
1:38 thats my road
Just saying that last woman is crying because nobody checks up on her(police) but c'mon there were millions of people who need help yes you will get help but why cry about it
i do live in N.C but i'm in mathews N.C
NEWS BLACKOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It sat on top of us an slowly moved
I feel bad for all those people
Name of sound track from 6:48 .
Also you guys I’ve lived in the Carolinas and sometimes it’s a false alarm and a lot of times nothing even happens just some flooding (which yes is bad too obviously)but it’s more avoidable also a lot of times they’re elderly, sick, or poor they can’t do anything please don’t hate on them or blame them a lot of them yeah just don’t leave (I know people who did that but those same people also couldn’t leave cause of money reasons)
You’re a terrible person if you’re blaming the poor and sick and elderly that can’t do anything pleas think about them before you say anything.
I live in NC and Florence was less but Hurricane Michael was stronger but Hurricane Florence flooded my backyard and I think I lost power and my mom fulled the tub with water and that was the first time I was in a hurricane Michael was my 2nd time in a hurricane
6:41 she got a beard or something
That's an IT
the crazy thing is bezos makes enough to pay off everything in less than a month
If it weren't for volunteers a lot of things would not have gotten done. it's miserable and inconvenient when there is no power but people need to still count their blessings when they still have their homes to stay in I get sick and tired of seeing people complain on some of these videos that it's somebody else's job to take care of them because they are so used to the government just jumping in and catering to all the needs of people who have become so dependent on the government that they can't even think for themselves or even try.
It becomes a way of life for certain people in certain areas and I am not saying that it is their fault. I'm saying that they have become conditioned by the government (both state and loca)they become dependent and complacent as well so they justl sit back and wait for someone else to do something.
Did harvey get this much attention
