    should have corrected what he said at the 3:50 and offered resources that are available. fema is offering shelters, meals and rental/hotel assistance. other organizations are also offering meals and different resources. as a news station you should be amplifying where they can get help and how.

      Those places are hard to find and get to..fema and the red cross don't have the greatest reputation and the locals know it..I was watching one video and the guy was down there looking for some nuns..everyone said try fema he couldn't find Fema anywheres about..he did find strangers helping strangers..where is the ice..food and other things the locals need that stayed...I don't blame them one bit for not wanting to leave

      @@tammywragg6254 i totally get they are hard to find and info is sparse. but that’s exactly why the news should be blasting that info everywhere they can. and then if there are actually no places for people to go, report on that and add pressure and accountability so these people actually get the help they need. they should not be spreading that there is no help at all, because that will put more people in danger

    This is devastating. I'm truly humbled by the community and outsiders helping each other. It's how it should be. As the storm arrived to Florida, I dreamt I was in a boat helping people as water was high. I recall seeing many drowned victims in the water as we searched for life. When I watched this video I could not stop crying. My heart and prayers go out to everyone affected by this storm and it devastation. 🙏❤️

      I saw the destruction of what a Cat 3 storm does. When Hurricane Hugo hit Charleston S.C. It looked like a war zone. Thankfully only 61 people died in that storm. They had no time to evacuate as the storm was suppose to Hit Savannah. But with a days notice everyone on the Islands went to higher grounds.

    Incredibly sad…The loss of property, dreams, businesses, and worst of all, lives…I’ve spent a lot of time on the Island & have land there… in the US we have an incredible generous spirit, shown by these great people who are helping, they are life’s true heros!
    This hit by hurricane Ian was similar to a tsunami, except with wind & water. Fortunately, people had time to evacuate. In the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia over 225,000 people were killed. They had no notice or forewarning.

      A hurricane hit of this magnitude is very rare. I’ve been in the area 25 years & have land on the island. My family has been in The Tampa Bay Area much longer & they’ve never had a significant hit. The last hit for fort Myers, (Sandy?) had little effect on the barrier islands. Some trees were blown down, some roofs were damaged, that’s all I saw. Except, mobile homes off the island had more serious damage. They shouldn’t be allowed to put more in after a hit, in my opinion. Way too dangerous. The top of the panhandle is at a much higher risk for hits, and the Miami area, which was demonstrated with Andrew, that wiped homestead off the map.
