I keep seeing comments like this. Nonsense. The key is engineering stronger, more ideal structures that are susceptible to these environmental possibilities. Using better building materials and not drywall
Trump said it's California's fault when there's fires and the fed shouldn't have to pay for it, so the 3 hurricanes in 13 months is Florida's fault and the fed shouldn't pay for it.
haha not only will they want federal aid after they get it they'll go back to talking about how bad the federal gov is and then blame the other side for the storm, so no reason to try to make sense out of insanity though
People "familiar with hurricanes" just thought it would be some rain. Not so familiar then, eh? The thing is, this isn't an earthquake or a tornado. They had lots of warning time; plenty of time to pack some things and take the car and drive away. Why do people still not take it seriously? Many people didn't take Andrew seriously in 1992 because a hurricane hadn't hit South Florida since the 1960s, but that's not the case anymore.
You'ed be surprised what "normalcy bias" does to a persons perception when they have only paycheck to paycheck existence or less. Tell me where is safe anymore in North America or this world for that matter...?
The problem is they all deny global warming of our oceans which puts all the energy into the storms these our new kind of storms never seen before but these Maga supporters are in denial of the very thing that’s causing it climate change because they vote for idiots
@@harrysmith3803 No I don't. It's just outrageous to even live in that state. There's a reason insurance companies are pulling out. It's just not worth it. Living in a coastal area has a major downside. You need multiple types of insurance and they'll likely drop you if there's any reoccurrences within 5 years. And in this economy? Hell no. If you don't make a living off the sea don't live next to it.
In North Carolina, a lake featured in the movie “Dirty Dancing” overtopped a dam. People in surrounding neighborhoods were evacuated, although there were no immediate concerns it would fail. People also were evacuated from Newport, Tennessee, a city of about 7,000 people, amid concerns about a dam near there, although officials later said the structure hadn’t failed. Tornadoes hit some areas, including one in Nash County, North Carolina, that critically injured four people. Atlanta received a record 11.12 inches (28.24 centimeters) of rain in 48 hours, the most the city has seen in a two-day period since record keeping began in 1878, Georgia’s Office of the State Climatologist said on the social platform X. The previous mark of 9.59 inches (24.36 cm) was set in 1886. Some neighborhoods were so badly flooded that only car roofs could be seen poking above the water.

Well Florida essentially won't be there in another 20 or so years. You might as well leave now instead of rebuilding. Edit: people seem to assume I mean it will be underwater, I mean much of it will be uninhabitable. It doesn't have to be underwater to be uninhabitable. You can't have a hurricane destroy the coastline every year or 2 and continue living there. Just like you can't live in Arizona just for the opposite reason, extreme heat and drought. Arizona is at the same risk within the next 30-40 years or so.

Hurricane Helene left an enormous path of destruction across Florida and the entire southeastern U.S. on Friday, killing at least 40 people in four states, snapping towering oaks like twigs, tearing apart homes and sending rescue crews on desperate missions to save people from floodwaters. The Category 4 hurricane knocked out power to some hospitals in southern Georgia, and Gov. Brian Kemp said authorities had to use chainsaws to clear debris and open up roads. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (225 kph) when it made landfall late Thursday in a sparsely populated region in Florida’s rural Big Bend area, home to fishing villages and vacation hideaways where Florida’s Panhandle and peninsula meet.

Exactly it’s so fucking stupid, instead of sending billions of dollars to foreign nations, we need to be using that money to make our infrastructure better and stronger, build bigger dams so shit like this doesn’t happen again (or at least make it much much harder to mimic)
1. So the debris won’t be as dangerous since it’s lighter and less heavy duty. (Debris causes a hearty amount of casualties so making it less dangerous is important) 2. Easier to rebuild.
Many Floridians can't even afford insurance, so we are "self-insured." We've saved for many years just to rebuild in case our homes are destroyed. That is, those of us who could save. Many can't and become homeless.

You're right except the Democrats are doing little to nothing to actually address climate catastrophe. So they say it's real -- then spend hundreds of billions on wars of choice that release immense amounts of greenhouse gases. This is not defending Republicans ... but you're in for a rude awakening if you think the Dems are any different other than in lip service.

Insurance in Florida is a silly business and since building codes don't help cash owners should have the right to build and live how they want. The Government should focus on infrastructure, protecting consumers and regulating transactions, insurance and banking. Stay out of Building codes and Code compliance and make Florida the real land of the Brave and the Free. The burden on inspecting and certifying a home should be solely on the Buyer and not the local or state Government. Trust me this will fix our Housing crisis.
the only news covering north fl where the storm actually hit desantis and most news only worried about rich tampa residents that were 100 miles from the storm.
Well actually it’s way more than 100 miles to the panhandle from Tampa. And it’s not Tampa that was hit as much as the gulf beaches which are Clearwater beach , ReddingtonBeach, stPete beach etc. our beaches aren’t even close to Tampa. Technically Tampa is a good 36 miles in land from the beaches.

Maybe ppl should stop building on the coastline and expecting taxs to pay for it. Shouldnt be able to build within a mile of any natural resource. That way everyone can enjoy the coastline. Not ppl who beatly use it because they are bored of it most the time or to busy to enjoy it. Tgink about it even the ppl living on a natural resource are only able to use that one spot. Not even mentioning all the yard chemicals that leach into the water. Gates block animals from getting to fish and water. Im not just talking oceans im talking lakes and rivers. Only a small portion of land should be approved for restaurants and business. A very small portion should be for homes and they should have to pay an insane amount to occupy that land because it prevents anyone or any animal from being able to enjoy a natural resources. Go ernment should have never approved it for owning, or building. It should belong to everyone. Also if you have a city or town, you should have to accept trash no matter what at the dump because if not it ends up in the woods and natural resources. The money lost to flooding and huricanes wont happen anymore and you can put that money to accepting trash and keeping the woods clean.
Because it's a little unprecedented in this manner I've never seen something like that in the area of Florida my entire life... so since climate change isn't real there's no worry...until it's too late At least we'll never have casualties in the thousands like those poor shit hole countries that don't have a weather alert system like...

And as this couldn't get any worse, there is yet ANOTHER tropical system brewing, and is expected to approach the gulf coast again and could take a similar path to this storm, still too early to tell
As Hurricane Helene tore through Florida, it left one question: why had it targeted those who denied climate change and believed their leader was divinely chosen? Most victims were staunch supporters of a man who called himself the "chosen one." Yet, Helene’s wrath didn't strike climate activists; it ravaged those who dismissed science, trusting their faith would protect them from what they deemed liberal propaganda. In the wreckage, a bitter irony emerged: Was this truly God's will, or a judgment on their own blindness? Had they aligned with a false prophet, elevating a man to divine status while ignoring their duty to care for creation? Their unwavering support for a man who claimed God’s favor now seemed like blasphemy. Perhaps, this storm was a divine reckoning-not for the world's sins, but for theirs. The lesson? Stewardship over creation, not denial; humility, not hubris. Helene wasn’t just a storm-it was a mirror, reflecting the consequences of their denial. And as the floodwaters receded, the message remained clear: nature's power is divine, and denial will not shield them from the storms to come.

Each year the storms get bigger, stronger, more frequent. I wonder how Congress will deal with this. It cannot be ignored.
Congress will ban storms
Yes, they plan to ignore it. Just like they are ignoring the decline of life in the U.S. for most people, and the 35 TRILLION in debt.
Trump and republicans will act like it doesn't exist or call it a hoax as they have for years. They have money to move wherever they want. Who you vote for matters
Yes it's terrifying and unfathomable; the still hanging on 'climate deniers'.
@@MP-pl1ikno. They will argue, form committees, pass resolutions and decide that it’s the other party’s fault. Storms will continue.
I found out from Paul Beckwith that Helene was ENORMOUS, like twice as big as Hurricane Katrina.
Why are American buildings so fragile?
White people blueprints, Mexican workers...
You are talking about a massive catastrophic storm, are you kidding me?!!!
Exactly it’s so fucking stupid, instead of sending billions of dollars to foreign nations, we need to be using that money to make our infrastructure better and stronger, build bigger dams so shit like this doesn’t happen again (or at least make it much much harder to mimic)
1. So the debris won’t be as dangerous since it’s lighter and less heavy duty. (Debris causes a hearty amount of casualties so making it less dangerous is important)
2. Easier to rebuild.
Just curious, does your area get cat 4 hurricanes?
Why dont american build homes with concrete?..it wouldnt blow away like wood.
How about those insurance rates? Can't wait. 😮
Many Floridians can't even afford insurance, so we are "self-insured." We've saved for many years just to rebuild in case our homes are destroyed. That is, those of us who could save. Many can't and become homeless.
@@deanbush I understand. Insurance used to be affordable. It is only for the rich now. :(
@@ld9044 If you read my previous comment, you'd have seen that many of us, rich and middle-class, are self-insured. If you don't know what that means, look it up.
@@ld9044 Even rich people don't pay for insurance because companies wouldn't cover the cost of damage. Most are self-insured.

You're right except the Democrats are doing little to nothing to actually address climate catastrophe. So they say it's real -- then spend hundreds of billions on wars of choice that release immense amounts of greenhouse gases. This is not defending Republicans ... but you're in for a rude awakening if you think the Dems are any different other than in lip service.
The authorities who have been running from place to place are so stressed and overwhelmed at this time. Let's say prayers 🙏 for them and their families ❤.
Probably because they have resolve and love their homes. Hurricanes rarely directly hit the same place.
Believe this.Florida has to go back to the swamps.
This is because they do not take measures to prevent flooding, even if it is not every year.
Insurance in Florida is a silly business and since building codes don't help cash owners should have the right to build and live how they want. The Government should focus on infrastructure, protecting consumers and regulating transactions, insurance and banking. Stay out of Building codes and Code compliance and make Florida the real land of the Brave and the Free. The burden on inspecting and certifying a home should be solely on the Buyer and not the local or state Government. Trust me this will fix our Housing crisis.
the only news covering north fl where the storm actually hit desantis and most news only worried about rich tampa residents that were 100 miles from the storm.
Well actually it’s way more than 100 miles to the panhandle from Tampa. And it’s not Tampa that was hit as much as the gulf beaches which are Clearwater beach , ReddingtonBeach, stPete beach etc. our beaches aren’t even close to Tampa. Technically Tampa is a good 36 miles in land from the beaches.
@@NurseSue425 ive lived in florida my whole life clearwater is about 15 miles from tampa airport 20 or so to downtown. the gandy starts in st pete and ends in tampa 5 miles away.pinellis and hilsboro meet and st pete and tampa blend together. clearwater is 107 miles from where the panhandle starts at horseshoe, besides when i said 100 miles from tampa i meant while the storm passed tampa at sea.🤦♂ fl local refer to tampa bay and its surrounding cities as tampa if you were from here you would know this. im from pasco and my family is from anna maria so before you get all smart with well actually maybe you should know what your talking about.

These people who live in the Keys need to move to a safer location . They should not be allowed to move back there . They always go back to rebuild . Evacuation is vacation people must leave the keys via airplane and or vehicle, ahead of every resident .
Who’s going to pay for that ?
I know my few words won’t be able to quell the hurt and heartache but I offer my condolences to the families of the deceased and I hope and pray that everyone else Whoo have been affected by the storm rebuild and recover quickly by this terrible event. Best wishes from Australia.

@gregoryM8105 you are spot on.
You guys should also start reporting how many planes are going to be in the sky. That changes a sunny day into a cloudy day now.
I’m so tired of trained meteorologist (NOT THE NEWS) TELLING people the seriousness of a weather event then those who CHOOSE not to listen saying “saying they didn’t know. Or it wouldn’t be that serious” being devastated afterwards. I’m tired of sending my tax dollars
And risking the lives of emergency personal for their ignorance!
The condition in certain parts of NC look just as bad if not worst
Who would have thought this could happen when they built on a swamp under sea level?
Such sad devastation every where you look. Prayers 4 all the residents, that families are all safe...homes have certainty been destroyed, but buildings/homes can be rebuilt.... and will be rebuilt. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🫂🙏🏼🙏🏼🫂💕

Maybe ppl should stop building on the coastline and expecting taxs to pay for it. Shouldnt be able to build within a mile of any natural resource. That way everyone can enjoy the coastline. Not ppl who beatly use it because they are bored of it most the time or to busy to enjoy it. Tgink about it even the ppl living on a natural resource are only able to use that one spot. Not even mentioning all the yard chemicals that leach into the water. Gates block animals from getting to fish and water. Im not just talking oceans im talking lakes and rivers. Only a small portion of land should be approved for restaurants and business. A very small portion should be for homes and they should have to pay an insane amount to occupy that land because it prevents anyone or any animal from being able to enjoy a natural resources. Go ernment should have never approved it for owning, or building. It should belong to everyone. Also if you have a city or town, you should have to accept trash no matter what at the dump because if not it ends up in the woods and natural resources. The money lost to flooding and huricanes wont happen anymore and you can put that money to accepting trash and keeping the woods clean.
Why are people who build their homes near the ocean so shocked when a hurricane levels it?
Because it's a little unprecedented in this manner I've never seen something like that in the area of Florida my entire life... so since climate change isn't real there's no worry...until it's too late
At least we'll never have casualties in the thousands like those poor shit hole countries that don't have a weather alert system like... Puerto Rico 😅

As Hurricane Helene tore through Florida, it left one question: why had it targeted those who denied climate change and believed their leader was divinely chosen?
Most victims were staunch supporters of a man who called himself the "chosen one." Yet, Helene’s wrath didn't strike climate activists; it ravaged those who dismissed science, trusting their faith would protect them from what they deemed liberal propaganda.
In the wreckage, a bitter irony emerged: Was this truly God's will, or a judgment on their own blindness? Had they aligned with a false prophet, elevating a man to divine status while ignoring their duty to care for creation? Their unwavering support for a man who claimed God’s favor now seemed like blasphemy.
Perhaps, this storm was a divine reckoning-not for the world's sins, but for theirs. The lesson? Stewardship over creation, not denial; humility, not hubris.
Helene wasn’t just a storm-it was a mirror, reflecting the consequences of their denial. And as the floodwaters receded, the message remained clear: nature's power is divine, and denial will not shield them from the storms to come.
Republicans will say this happens all the time get use to it!
You don’t have to turn everything political, you know
@@powerofediting1657 When politicians you vote for with an "R" next to their name deny the vast majority of scientists who agree storms are getting worse because of man-made climate change, YOU make every super-storm political. DEAL.
