Why are people driving through this. Prayers for everyone.
You have to feel pity for the lack of wisdom of people who retire in Florida, but can't afford to leave if a Cat 4 hurricane makes landfall.
You sound like a Crapifornian.
People in Florida are tougher !
Just another hurricane, no big deal
Many people can't afford to leave. I live in Louisiana and stuck around during Francine, it's the first hurricane I've stayed behind for in many years and I'm not gonna do that again, it was a miserable 3 days without power and that one was barely a hurricane. Fortunately, I can afford to leave but most of my family cannot. I didn't leave because I went to book a flight the day before and most were sold out, and I wasn't driving anywhere.
A lot of people retire to Florida because it's cheaper. If you settle down outside of the tourist areas, it's very affordable. But yea, if you move to Florida because it's cheaper to retire there, you'll struggle to relocate in the event of an emergency. Honestly, that could go for anywhere - regardless of where you are, it's not easy to evacuate when you're poor.
I was not in an emergency situation. But a storm did a lot of damage and snapped over 40 power poles in my small local town last year and knocked out my power for 10 days in the middle of August. I have a pet rabbit and had to evacuate to a motel out of town because even the motels here didn't have power and the heat would have killed my rabbit. I'm on a fixed income and had to rely on my mom to foot the bill of my evacuation. I'm lucky to have her for that. A lot of people don't have friends or family to help them like that.
Fools driving in THAT?! Speechless
Omg😮
Unreal@@
It's THE REDNECK RIVIERA 🤣😂
well some people need to get medication, food, and water not all people were prepared
My lights are off BTW
I would have been scared 💩 less driving across that bridge.
What bridge?
Shocking! This thing turned into a monster on a dime. To be told to I. D your body is morbid.
It’s mid at best
It happened during Katrina, they actually did find bodies with names written on them. People were told to do the same during Ida, but almost no one was dumb enough to stay behind, Ida was downgraded to a category 4, but those of us that left were expecting a category 5. 1400 died during Katrina, 30 died during Ida, the local authorities were riding around right before we left and made a pa in the city telling people to identify themselves if they stayed. My godmother said she was leaving...this woman has a phobia of driving, when she said that, I loaded up my car showered and packed and was gone within an hour, my house has over $100k in damage from that storm and the insurance refused to pay, we're in court now because of it.
@@peryoleWhat was the ins co reason for refusing?
@@hjones3888 they augured no one was living in my house, it's the only reason in the contract that they could deny a claim. I had tenants that had moved out by the time they came out.. it took them 2 months to come out. Unfortunately the tenants wouldn't move out and I couldn't have the liability of them being there with a collapsing ceiling so I had to evict them. I gave the eviction documents to my lawyer to prove occupancy, I had the house cleaned up after tenants left. I also didn't realize I had rental loss coverage and wouldn't have noticed had they just paid the claim. Their greed is what made me read the contract and made me realize how much they actually owed, they now owe me $1400/month for every month the house isn't rented...
So when they tell you to write your identifying information down in sharpie on your arm it's a good scare tactic and it's also brutally honest. I understand that people who have lived in this area for ages don't want to leave but man it's so scary
Florida is a great red state 🇺🇸
Ok sir. But that wasn't helpful@@chuckxu5910
@@nannerz1994 I wrote on my arm how I think America is totally f d up.
Yea I have lived here over 30 years and that statement was pure theatre from a guy with a big ego.
Go where? Many average American have no money at the end of the month… no money for fuel to get away and no money for a hotel no money for food. Ride it out is the only option for many people.
They better off writing their name and birth date on their torso instead. Alligators might take their arms or legs.
Im in the Navy for the past 2 years. But i lived in Florida my whole life. Thank God my family is in Orlando so it swung north to Tallahassee. But also God help those who were less lucky than my family in Orlando. I was about to take Emergency leave from the military but since it swung north they're okay.
Thank you for your service
In the navy you can sail the 7 seas in the navy you can put your mind at ease in the navy in the navy 😅 Village people 1979
May God protect you all
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hurricane Helene has already moved into a Florida homeless camp.
So just, Florida.
Florida is not the smartest place to decide to be homeless. JS
@@theprettycitykitty9302 you had me at "Florida's not the smartest place"!! 😁
@@theprettycitykitty9302Decide to be homeless?? You think people get to choose where to be homeless?? 😮
@@liiammiller7881 You'd be surprised.
Im near Chattanooga TN we wonder if this will be our first full strength hurricane in almost 30 years
Choo Choo!
@@HappyHarryHardon lol that's what everyone thinks of when they hear the name it's also the sight of 5 major civil war battle
Its Florida. Of course people will do stupid/ unfortunately dangerous things.
Mark yourself, your name and your birthdate on your arm so you could be identified easily or is the state or federal help
Bro my mom was just talking about a hurricane yesterday
oooo baby thank god i live a mile above sea level 😂
Praying for the floridians. You guys got everything trying to squash you
Praying for Florida 🙏
I’m praying for y’all . I couldn’t go through this that storm is scary I’m thankful I live in Colorado .
Our hearts an prayers goes out to the people that is affected by this huge hurricane. (Belize)
Are those actual cars,my Goodness..
This video is a bit late with the reports. I heard there are over 3 reported deaths that happened before the main cone of the hurricane even made landfall.
I would be frightened of your governor, more than the hurricane.
I’m stunned with your intellectual fortitude. You are a testament to humanity.
Nah. I was able to go to work and make money all through 2020.
Completely disgusting. Lefties always make it about politics even when people are losing everything. You have no shame.
Prayers for Florida!
Praying.
Can’t your god see what’s going on? Will prayers stop this? Might want to tell the meteorological dept then.
Be safe thank you
Geez! At least we know it isn't raining cats and dogs in Springfield Ohio anymore!

Don't make this political. He didn't make this happen. Lefties are so sick. People are losing everything and all you can do is spew political BS
Lmaooooooooooo y'all know DAMN well democrat leaders have shown how unorganized they are 😂
O Lord God, who hast in thy mercy relieved and comforted thy servants by a seasonable change of weather : through Jesus Christ our Lord.Amen
WHERE in Florida, Can you give zip codes? We are not all familiar with counties or Big Ben...but we have employees in Zip codes. WHAT ARE THE EFFECTED ZIP CODES??
Now it's humanity's turn
Stay safe everyone please 🙏
Most have flashlights,.....but w/o electricity,....your food will go bad as your refrigerator, is also off and there is no AC. Can't recharge your phone,....electric cars won't run or recharge. Some will find generators,...but they need fuel to run, and gas stations are all closed. Everyone needs many good quality flashlights and batteries.
If they write their names and birthdates on them the waters and wetness will just wash it off, I'd clip a tag to me thru the storm
Jetzt geht's der Menschheit an den Kragen! 😔
Overhyped
Stay safe😶
😮amen 🙏
Oh

Lord have mercy on Florida 🙏🏼
Near Tampa here. Electric came back on. I haven't been out, but a few hours ago, it sounded like the end of the world out there
Hurricane Helene makes landfall in Florida 0637am 27.9.24 there's just flooding and swimmers, man.... that's all i can see...... the storm seems to have abated and driven inland. what's going on there - only you guys can tell me. all power the swimmers, though...
it's 3am on the 27th in Florida now 🙄
ah landfall at night, extra exciting! just what you guys subscribed for when you all moved out there. enjoy!
It's end of the world. The sky is falling.
and I feel fine
I guess with this we can definitely say "Yes", if asked "does God hate people".
Not chic
it's boho af
it's boho af
based hurricane
Our California based employer requires us to show ui in the morning. Not understanding ( or caring) that the drive to work will be a bit tricky.
I live in Tampa close to highway, hurricane Helene didn't do anything as far as I know. my community college closed for no reason.3 days of class is gone.
So this is fake news to you then? 🙄
That’s what I thought until 11 pm when my house started flooding out of nowhere
100% Geoengineered. The path was perfectly straight and straight north. Practice makes perfect ey boys? WMD's aren't what you think kids.
Just like all the wildfires in California
damn, you all need to stop smoking the sh8t you smoke 😂
Hurricanes turn? Since when?
Why would anyone live in such a terrible place?
