I'd like to give big thanks to Yoder's restaurant for giving out FREE dinners to anyone with flooded homes today. I think that's an awesome thing to do for thier fellow man. Anything on the menu, totally free of charge, no questions asked. Many thanks to the Yoder family or whoever may be the owners. You've given me hope for humanity.
I live in Florida inland in a non flood zone. When I build my house I brought in 60 truckloads of dirt and raised my house 2 feet above surrounding land. You can never be to sure.
@@gimmeshelter1969If your house is more than 30ft above sea level, it’s in non-flood zone area. Unfortunately, most major cities in FL are less than 5ft above sea level.
What’s wrong and what happened is over development my Grandaddy was the water would get higher the more the land was overdeveloped and the natural flood planes paved over and removed. He said this before he died in 1999 he said it would only continue to get worse if you look at the flooding lines and where they built the new houses and how much higher those new houses are built it has destroyed the natural floodplain and caused the issue. What is wrong is the county leaders are allowing overdevelopment of natural resource land that could be used to protect the already existing population from such high waters and the new pattern of water, runoff, and intense rain from storms that wouldn’t have originally accumulated as they did this is the real story and the lesson behind this storm I’ve lived in Manatee County all my life and it was never this bad
@@ShowercurtainU It's about the entire area around it being overdeveloped, the more concrete around you the less the ground can absorb, the more water goes into the creek
People should realize that the insurance companies default to denial. That means you have to keep demanding. They deny 80% of qualified claims which means you must keep resubmitting until you get to the win. Don’t give up and don’t let them tell you “no”.
Slow moving Tropical storms, with 15 inches rain,will sometimes do much more damage that fast moving hurricanes. Sooner or later,a big hurricane will move into Tampa Bay. Will be totally catastrophic flooding. It's not if, but simply when. A lot of these people just don't understand where they live.
If you live near a creek or pond or in an area lower than your neighbor, buy flood insurance even if the mortgage company doesn't require it. A basic policy for a "non-flood" area is under $500 per year.
That really sucks... There was nothing anyone could do, Debby dumped a historic amount of rain... More than the stormwater systems were designed to handle.
I lived in Sarasota for many years (now live further south in Englewood) in a non-flood area but this is tragic - the entire city has been overdeveloped, far too many people, serious infrastructure problems, what are the county commissioners doing with all the tax dollars??
What the mortgage company should have said was, "it is no longer required." Clearly if you live near the coast and/or near Phillipe Creek or some other body of water you need flood insurance.
How devastating! There is no place on the coastal lying areas that is safe. I worried constantly when I lived in Boynton Beach. I left. Imagining starting over leaves me breathless. I pray for these unfortunate people. Move. Get out asap.
everything flooded because our local governments allowed developers in their pockets and let them re zone land for housing literally everywhere. i run into all these sites they level everything then raise it all up sending any future rainwater into the locals properties. This is a direct result of the amount of building done in the last 4 years but even scarier is this proves how much more development has happened even since hurricane ian.
I’m not even from Florida and I have read on the flooding and sea level warnings in your state. They have a timeline of flooding within the next 10 yrs to be extreme.
The reporter in this story mistakenly referred to the storm as "Hurricane Debby". This is significant. Debby was not a Hurricane when it passed through Sarasota. This is extremely important, because a "Hurricane" triggers the very large deductibles on Homeowners Insurance Policies.
my heart goes out to the families impacted, but then at the sametime YOU LIVE IN A STATE THAT IS HIT BY HURRICANES MULTIPLE TIMES PER YEAR EVERY YEAR. it should not be a surprise that this happened and guess what it is guaranteed to happen again next year and the year after.
It looks like I'm about to get flood insurance. People with houses near an open water AKA lake view should be required to have flood insurance. My friend lives near a lake and I was surprised to learn that she doesn't have flood insurance and yet her house is worth about 3 quarter million of a dollars. That doesn't make sense.
Most of Florida is just a few feet above sea level. The chances you take to live in Paradise. SUN ,BEACHES ,FUN. Suck it up people or move to higher ground.
WHAT did they expect??? They live in single story homes in Florida where HURRICANES are a normal thing....that's WHY I won't move to Florida. ANYWHERE in Florida!
I think everyone needs to move out of florida if insurane companies refuse to pay. I heard most insurance companies pulled out of Florida. Let Florida go bankrupt. Rent an rv or affordable place in the winter like Canadians. No need to pay property tax if the state cant even provide insurance for people.
The real reasons flooding is occurring like never before are that both counties have allowed everywhere to be developed and rain doesn’t penetrate concrete and asphalt. Building typical piney woods flatlands know to flood periodically only drain about 6-9 inches per hour naturally toward a river or creek. Developers and Commissioners are both complicit in the flooding misfortunes of these poor folks many from out state know nothing how their 2 million home is submerged in both sewage, snakes, ants and alligators.
TO THOSE RESIDENTIAL NEWSCASTERS [“ACTION NEWS, TAMPA BAY”] AND Y’ALL, “LATEST SARASOTA COUNTY VIEWERS, ‘DUE TO YOUR COUNTY’S FLOOD PRESS,’ MAY YOUR ‘GRAND CREATOR HELP AN UNRIGHTEOUS TO BECOME’ RIGHTEOUS!” 😹😹

Didn't know that there was such a thing as a "non-flood zone" in Florida. Kinda doubt it...

It's labeled Flood Zone X. Research it.
This happened to me in Nashville floods in 2010 it took me years to recover 😢 prayers

Overdevelopment had nothing to do with the flooding by Philippi Creek. That area of Sarasota has been around for years.
@@ShowercurtainU It's about the entire area around it being overdeveloped, the more concrete around you the less the ground can absorb, the more water goes into the creek
This the one of main reason why I move from Sarasota it’s bad flooding, and a lot of the sewages is bad in whole city it’s a lot of old neighborhoods.
and the frustration is yet to come.
now comes the rejection letters from insurance companies, which for most families is far more devastating
People should realize that the insurance companies default to denial. That means you have to keep demanding. They deny 80% of qualified claims which means you must keep resubmitting until you get to the win. Don’t give up and don’t let them tell you “no”.
Yeah, Citizens Insurance is going to raise policy rates by at least 20% after Debby.
What insurance ??? Most there didn’t have flood insurance in this so called no flood zone …..in Florida ????!!!!!
@@shirleytwsw exactly! insurance companies will always find a reason to deny any claim for any reason
But it won’t be a surprise anymore

Will be totally catastrophic flooding.
It's not if, but simply when.
A lot of these people just don't understand where they live.
Mother Nature always prevails!
Mother Nature is the 5th Horseman only the heavenly father will release it Florida you need to figure out what you want to do
Prayers and much love to these people and everyone else affected by the hurricane.❤ 🙏
Build and live in swamp, surrounded by an ocean and a gulf of water, what could possibly go wrong?
Exactly 🌊🐊🐊🐍🐊🐍🐟🐍
Wow, that's why I stay up North.
Me, too.
I wouldn't live in a southern state or near coastal waters for love or money with all the weather havoc happening.
Mee too yea
My cousins lucked out they sold their two properties there last month for over original buying price. Sucks for the new owners.
If you live near a creek or pond or in an area lower than your neighbor, buy flood insurance even if the mortgage company doesn't require it. A basic policy for a "non-flood" area is under $500 per year.
You know you're in Florida when you see huge piles of household furniture, appliances, and someone else's boat out in front of the house.
they’re damaged. Like what’s your deal?
Yagga: It's just a Blue Stater disparaging Floridians again. Guess they're ticked that so many millions left blue states for Florida.
Praying for Everyone. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That really sucks... There was nothing anyone could do, Debby dumped a historic amount of rain... More than the stormwater systems were designed to handle.
State & County need to design new storm water systems that can handle the climate change enhanced tropical storms!
Plus Debby was slow moving!
Perhaps they could have not bought a house in a flood plain?
Thanks Ron.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I lived in Florida for 20 years in Sarasota the last 7 years when it rains the water would rise it is not a surprise but I'm very sad
Same in daytona beach
I lived in Sarasota for many years (now live further south in Englewood) in a non-flood area but this is tragic - the entire city has been overdeveloped, far too many people, serious infrastructure problems, what are the county commissioners doing with all the tax dollars??
Been so proud of Debby since the day she was born
Debby has outperformed for sure. She’s flooding Raleigh, NC right now!
What the mortgage company should have said was, "it is no longer required." Clearly if you live near the coast and/or near Phillipe Creek or some other body of water you need flood insurance.
Keep building on wetlands
That's my old neighborhood 😢

You cant predict Gods work,amen again!Take it in stride and move on,you are still here!❤
We’ve had this much rain before just not this much development
Wait a minute do you expect the water to just disappear that has to do with the whole ocean there until the ocean dies down the water stays up
Welcome to our Giant SandBar... I've been through 3 major floods and it' takes about 10 years ea to financially recover; even with Insurance.
Looks like Governor Duh-Santis put the "duh" back in Flori-duh.

NOAA must get kickbacks from the insurance companies when they downgrade right before landfall. Same with hurricane Sandy in NJ
that's so wrong@@callmeishmaelk767
Who could have predicted that there could be a major rain event in Florida. I mean FLORIDA of all places. Crazy.
What happened was 18” inches of rain ! No need to over analyze it .
Elevation of a property is like displacement of engine. There is no replacement for displacement.
Any updates?
my heart goes out to the families impacted, but then at the sametime YOU LIVE IN A STATE THAT IS HIT BY HURRICANES MULTIPLE TIMES PER YEAR EVERY YEAR. it should not be a surprise that this happened and guess what it is guaranteed to happen again next year and the year after.
I used to live there.
Hope everybody got the belp they need,amen!
Over development Greed
Crooked Creek HOA at proctor and Beneva went under. Refusing to file a insurance claim...
OMG where did this 💧 come from
Climate change. And, it’s going to become frequent and more severe over time.

"You don't need flood insurance" in the state on Florida..................
Most of Florida is just a few feet above sea level. The chances you take to live in Paradise. SUN ,BEACHES ,FUN. Suck it up people or move to higher ground.
Incorrect. The original drain/retention ponds have been filled and developed on. - I'm a local.
17.78 inches of rain in a day kinda was the problem.
Why do they stay, flooding there cars, trucks,all belongings
I have a cousin who lives there. Can't reach him by cell.
North Pa WOW
There literally building thousands of houses near the everglades i dont think they care
WHAT did they expect??? They live in single story homes in Florida where HURRICANES are a normal thing....that's WHY I won't move to Florida. ANYWHERE in Florida!
No it wasn't hurricane Debbie when was just a 30-year flood
"the water flooded because of all the rain from the storm" - say the city worker
That deep analysis cost the tax payers $10g
Brilliant! Wasn’t it 🤦🏽♂️
It's happening now because rising sea level and the land is sinking.
While sea level rise is real, this area is 8-feet above sea level so it's not impacted by that.
Sarasota - 17.78 inches of rain in a day kinda added to the whole thing
hello ❤❤❤
Always build your house on stilts in Florida
This is every year now. When will ppl wake up.
Don't worry there's one thing that's for sure after you clean up your taxes are still dude

what??
Now they can deal with a bunch of mold! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I told everybody not to buy there. Now look at it.
These people got money to live in that area
Who do we blame it on come on we need someone to blame it on who do we blame it on the tax office the governor so you want us to put gigantic pumps
Just think all the pollution down stream in the ocean. More fish kills and lost habitat.
Contact FEMA, they should be able to help you.
Not until Quid Pro Quo Joe declares us a disaster area and he’s sleeping in his basement again!!!
Was this sarcasm? I don’t know many people who actually have received true “help.” from FEMA.

The unfortunate part is that it's only going to get worse after this. Climate change has been politicized and this is what happens.
You can only deny climate change for so long.

All modified weather😒😔 when will ppl open thier eyes to what these 👹's are doing🤦🏽♂️

Its all slowly falling into place …. People just blame it on global warming and find a excuses to dismiss end times
