We rode out Hurricane Irma at our home in Central Florida. We lost some of our roof and didn't have power for almost 2 weeks. Ian hit Fort Myers really hard. We had massive flooding from Ian. I'm glad your RV was safe. God is good, indeed.
im over in daytona everthing flooded here
Praying for you
So glad you are ok. Prayers up to everyone dealing with the aftermath of Ian.
Glad you made it through safe. I've been in Florida for many hurricanes. Thank you for documenting and letting the world know how serious these storms are. Irma and Ian are the 2 that were serious for me even up in the Tampa Bay area. Ian & Irma were originally forecasted to make landfall in this area, but changed thank GOD. Been here for 30+ years and they seem to be getting worse over the years.
Gives me memories of living through Hurricane Ike when I lived in Houston... totally crazy!!
Kelly, Thank you for the update . You and the rest of Florida have been in my prayers and will be for awhile as the state recovers .
So glad to see you’re ok. Thank you for taking us along to see your first hand account of some of the damage. Glad to see your place was ok.
Thank you for the video. I was very worried about you ! Thank goodness you had somewhere to go to be safe.
You were brave filming the 'cane. That wind noise was kind of scary. So glad you made it through with no problems to your little house. Up here in north Florida we had little problems. I never lost power. Praying for the people that were affected. Take care and be safe. Thanks for the video.
The twinkle lights.
Kelly, I was at the hospital too during the hurricane....I work for the same organization as you do, in the Tampa location, main hub. Glad your camper survived. Now you can say you've seen alligators and been through a cat 4 hurricane. I watched your journey of the AT last year, as I was preparing for a section hike in Virginia. I used your videos to help plan. 😀 And I've watched all of your videos since. Keep up the good work!!
Rule #1 in FL...stay away from windows and doors!!!!!!
Wow interesting video. That wind sure was howling.
Thanks for documenting that.
Lol I’m from Sebring moved to Sebastian fl on east coast
No generator at the hospital?
Wow…😮

🚌🌅🌌⛺🌄🏞🏖
👍👍💪🙂👍👍
So cute love you dear
Watch the Cowboys play??? Cowboys? They beat my Redskins/WFT/Commanders. . . . UNSUBCRIBED!! Kidding. Everybody beats the Manders. . . .Anyway, Great video as usual. Thanks for the insight and coverage! Glad you and your place are safe.
😂
My 82-year-old mom lives on Sanibel. Well...did...I feel helpless to do anything to help her since she is in Ft Myers and basically looking for a place to live. And I am in PA so there's nothing I can do to help.
I will be praying for her!
@@kellyhays23 thank you! Power is back on but she has no water. So no showers for a week. Kinda like the AT. Lol. They have no fresh food yet I guess so living on junk food. Kinda like hiking. Lol but not fun for a frail old lady...
That was well documented. Thanks for posting it. Like you, we were spared the horrific damage and my heart is broken for those folks in the direct path.
I thought of you down there . I'm north of Daytona so we didn't get much up here. Our anniversary was the 28th and we just stayed hunkered down at home. The beach is for visiting, I would not live out there I've seen too much devastation. We bought a camper in Sebring. Take care glad your ok.
There are a ton of lineman from my area of northeast Texas down there working right now. Prayers for Florida.
Tell those linemen thank you from Englewood Florida!
Yeah, I have 3 sisters in Cape Coral with no power or water .. they are living in a hotel in Ft. Lauderdale since
Congratulations Kelly you survived the storm. In the 58 years I have lived here in Florida I have been through 8 major hurricanes it is a blessing when you come through one every time. Take care
Yep… it was not fun to live through. Today I got power back to my house and the electric panel caught fire 😭 I’m a recently retired local firefighter medic .. this is my first hurricane in 20 years I haven’t had to work .. felt really weird not helping everyone
I’m so sorry that happened! I bet that was a weird feeling for sure. I also got word my power is back on today! Almost a week later!!
@@kellyhays23 yay! For getting power back! And thank you for your service during the storm!
That setup is like the Ritz Carlton compared to a couple nights on the AT. 😂
!!!!!!
Im in sebring. Would love to get together with you for lunch or something
That would be awesome!!!
Glad you're home survived. That was a beast of a storm from the pictures I've seen. Sweet cot the hospital provided.. Last time I had to stay over night here at the one I work for I slept in the floor with just the pillow I brought from home so hat's off to your employer.
Ron DeSantis best governor in the US!
FYI -Wawa is a convenient store chain, originating in the Philadelphia area. They have 100's of stores now.
It is also frequented by the rudest people on earth, who leave their vehicles at the pump after filling up, regardless if there are other people waiting to fill up during busy times. They are also unable to differentiate between the regular trash cans, and the ones designated for recycling. You will find all types of trash in both bins.
That is a very nice cot. If you get one, get one similar but that has the posts for a mosquito net over it. That kind of cot will allow you to have two storage bins under it which is very convenient. If you use it outside with the net set up, you can throw a tarp over it too. You should not have gone outside flying debris causes nasty injuries. Hurricanes are scary, aren't they? Glad that you're okay. When you and James settle down to a house be sure that it can handle hurricane winds(which also helps it to withstand blizzards). Thanks for posting this good video. Good Luck, Rick
Good vlog on your hospital stay over, howling winds got my attention. Good thing you’re camper avoided a really close shave 🪒
I can not believe your gas. Grill survived. You were so lucky.
My landlord came and tied up the grill and all the patio furniture to the porch. He must have ties it really well bc it didn’t go anywhere and was untouched!
Exciting stuff
I feel fore Florida. Thanks fore vlogging . I'm glad you place came though ok. :) :) :)
My Friend You are a badass you can handle anything that comes along.
You know someone was going to ask so it may as well be me LOL, what is the stuffed animal you brought along with the rest of your belongings from your mobile rental home. I expect there is a story behind the animal as well as events or feelings back when you were a child and a favourite stuffed bedtime animal then as well. If its too embarrassing a topic to talk about I understand and you can delete this question but will say so many of us have experienced some sort of event or trauma sometime our lives that cause us to do certain things that others on the outside can't understand why ...
I have two stuffed animals I sleep with every night. One is from my childhood and it brings me a sense of comfort and “home.” The one you probably saw in the video is a stuffed moose that James gave me to remind me that he’s always there with me even when it’s not in person💛
@@kellyhays23 Thank you for answering that as it can be an awkward topic as an adult. Without a doubt being right in the middle of the devastating weather situation would bring on a lot of anxiety and emotions as to wondering what could happen to you or your vehicle or rental home and James being very worried for your well being and you worried because he's worried ...
Kelly-marry that boy, move to NC near the AT and start a hiking training school! 😊
Your reporting was more real than any of the tv stations. Glad your ok. It broke my heart to see all the folks that lost everything. Florida strong !
Oh that whistling sound. It was scary. We did not fare so well in Port Charlotte.
Great coverage of the storm, the sound of the howling wind was terrifying. We live in St. Petersburg, had a similar experience to yours. Irma had more sustained winds and rain for us. Seeing the damage and hearing the stories in the Fort Myers area is heartbreaking. Can't imagine loosing your home, transportation, and job all at the same time. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone. Donations to Red Cross or Samaritan's Purse will help these communities recover...there is a long road ahead for them.
In St Pete as well and 48% of my neighbors had flood damage with the storm!
So glad it missed you. It missed us in Tallahassee.
Good one.
Just another adventure. Hospital camping looks a lot more comfortable than camping in your tent. 😎👍
Thanks for the video. Glad your camper was spared. Prayers for all
Those affected 🙏
Adventist Hospitals are the best! Glad you made it and so nice you have your own office to stay in.
Glad to see you are still safe an that your home still stands. Happy to see James again. Hope he made it to safety.
So glad you had some great luck.....staying in the hospital really saved you some real worry....riding out the storm in your rental would have really been dangerous......your video captured the intensity and danger of the situation......God Bless.
The sound of the wind sounds like a mix of cars racing far out in the distance, and wind howling during a blizzard or a scary movie 😩😩
Wow. Good documentation! Glad you’re safe! I’ve been through a few of them in Florida. This time we lucked out in Panama City Beach.
Well, You now have another adventure under your belt, Welcome to Florida :)
You prayed before you left Amen 🙏
Glad you are Ok. This gives a different personal perspective to the storm
Used to ride the hurricanes out at sea. Had a 42 foot Morgan sloop. A friend ( retired special forces) would head to sea because there was less chance of damage to the sloop than leaving it docked in the slip. We took turns roping our selves to the helm in case the boat would roll. Came close but never completely rolled. We had a 17 foot keelthat would turn us back up right if we rolled. We would take off from Marathon Florida. Yee Ha ! Thank you for sharing this. So glad your safe.
I e been waiting for you to post since this storm came ashore and was wondering how you faired
This video was the closest thing to being in a Hurricane 🌀 😮….great coverage! Subscribed 11*06*22 👍🏼
Trying to work out what's more fascinating, the hurricane or her place of work
I was wondering about you ! Thanks for checking in!
I heard you mention the Cowboys. Are you a Cowboys fan or a bucs fan? Glad you made it out OK. My family and I are headed to Destin on Friday but it doesn’t look like they got any damage!
What hospital were you at? The winds howling were scary! It was suppose to hit us but turned. We missed the bullet. Thanks for the videography of the storm & glad you & your place are okay.
Welcome to Florida Kelly Hays! Glad you & your RV are okay! It’s fun living at the beach until a hurricane comes to town! I live in Hilton Head, SC. It was coming straight for us & then made a turn north toward Charleston & Myrtle Beach. We got lucky too! A cot is an upgrade for you! Your bed looked very comfy! Glad you survived your first hurricane!
My family was in Port Charlotte . We have never been so scared . I kept thinking the next gust was going to take our roof. We definitely had damage but we can love in our home with a temporary tarp so we feel very blessed .
I am sorry for all the people who lost everything
Glad you and your home made it safe! I was on a cruise that was extended by 2 days, we had excellent weather, but the last day we rocked so bad they had to close the pool! Giant swells were crashing into the front of the ship, I found it very exciting but almost impossible to walk in a straight line! Everyone was walking crooked in unison! 😂 My thoughts and prayers are on those that lost so much.
Experienced a few tornados when working in ER years ago but no hurricane. Bet that was intense
Very crazy times!
Glad you’re OK
That was very well documented. So glad you are safe and your camper was not damaged. All from Him. MGBY💜❤️
I thought about you when this hurricane was first said to be headed to central Florida. So glad you are safe and your trailer is safe as well. Thank you for the awesome footage of the hurricane. My kids think you rock! 🙂
Thank you for the first hand look. So glad your place is ok. Keeping you in my prayers. Love you guys. California Joanna
You got the full meal deal👀
Glad you are safe. Definitely keeping FL & all states affected in prayer....
Thx for sharing.
Where you were filming??? Orlando or Tampa??
I've been wondering how you weathered Ian. Glad to see you well.
So much for going to check out Sanibel, it knocked out the bridge. That bridge was being newly built when "Charlie" hit back in '05. Charlie took out almost all of the Australian Pines on the Island....I hear this one did much worse....
And SWEET BABY JESUS get away from those windows!!! I've seen a palm frond jammed thru the side of a car after Charlie 😱
Thank you! I’m glad I went to sanibel in 2011. Feel so bad for all the people there.
I'm so glad you made it through safely. Looking forward to new adventures.
Ryan Hall---you tube for weather has been recommended by many.
Stay safe
Great video, nice editing. Good job Kelly
I said a prayer for you and everyone in Florida I hope everything is ok down there
Thank you nick!
@@kellyhays23 Dude that Hurricane is bad 👎 I hope you are safe 🙏 and I watched the news on it and it is the worst Hurricane that Florida had in years
Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great day! Great job in the video! Nice shots of the rain, wind and power flickering.
Well done Kelly. That is exactly what its like to go through a hurricane. Glad you are ok.
1 Hospital in Port Charlotte Florida lost there roof.
Glad you are safe. These storms are for real. Praying for thoes in the path and for their recovery from the devastation.
Glad you made it through and your house was without damage. What an experience! But why didn’t the hospital have the sun shades taken down and the exterior garbage cans taken in? The sun shades can be costly and that much canvas flying through the air could possibly cause damage, not to mention the damage the garbage cans in the parking lot could cause.
Haha we were wondering the same thing about the sunshades. Luckily they help strong. I know all the potted plants outside got destroyed. Im not sure where that trash can came from tho! I think it rolled in from elsewhere
Great video, thanks for showing us whats going on.
"Human beings are fragile creatures." 🥚
WOW!! Thank you for sharing your hurricane experience! It's been a while since I've been in a hurricane (like, a couple as an adult in Hawaii -- but last century).And it was cool and frightening (yes, both!) to hear that wind near the hospital doors! I don't recall how powerful the hurricanes I went through were, but I definitely would not want to be in this one! And I'm glad your house was safe!
Glad you made it through the storm. Thanks for helping the people.
Prayers to all of Florida! 🙏🏽
Glad your safe. Very well documented. Wow. I been in hurricane before but side swiped. Thank you for all this information.
Wow! Great job videoing this.Living in NW Montana I can't even imagine what that must have been like.Great job.
Great video Kelly
Glad you’re safe and we’re able to stay at your hospital ❤
Gators and hurricanes, you're really getting the Florida experience! Glad you and your camper are safe. Thanks for sharing this experience, this northeasterner was on the edge of her seat the whole time. Make sure you bake some cookies or buy a pizza for those sweetheart security guys for letting you get those eye of the storm shots! 😂
Glad you made it through unscathed. Ian was no joke. A lot of good folks in FL weren't so lucky. p.s. It was pretty cool to get a glimpse of the hospital life and hear you ratlling off your hospital talk.
My sister was on at the Ft Myers Hospital during the storm. Power outages, water was out, fire in the building, flooded ER but they kept it together and kept the patients safe. Glad you made it through with limited damage.
Why is your steering wheel on the right side?
what do u want to see the giants are better than you lol
Wow! 😮 that’s pretty scary! The sound of that wind was crazy. From what I’ve seen Sanibell and Ft Meyers were hammered but you made out OK. You did a great job preparing. Gotta respect Mother Nature 😅
I'm sitting on my front porch :)
