Bird's-eye view of storm surge in Crystal River following Hurricane Idalia 

Right.. And NYC was going to be under water back in the 90's. It's true! Al Gore told me so!

@@RIFFRAFF104Why are insurance companies pulling out of florida but not new york?

@@RIFFRAFF104you do remember that they’re building a 4 billion $ seawall around Manhattan right? To keep it from going under water?

Al Gore, that you?

That would apply to half of Californias coastline as well then. I lived in socal my whole life and most of west la and so cal is barely above sea level. So is New York, and most coastal cities now that I think of it.

Agree

Not below sea level! It's called Storm Surge! And we had warnings that it could be about 7' in that area. Which means that the water goes 7' ABOVE it's normal level.

Yep. You live in a swamp, you live near a volcano, you live on a fault line, you live in tornado prone areas, you live where a meteor might fall. What's your point?

​@@hughjass1835interesting I've never heard of tornado, meteor, or volcano insurance

You've never heard of hurricane insurance either, Dumdum

​​@@hughjass1835I'm sorry, no. What is this nonsense? We have a lot of investment in volcano monitoring. Scientists risk their lives to monitor volcanoes in Indonesia and other places with active volcanoes. Meanwhile, the Republican party policy is to make hurricanes worse because muh oil profit. Plus, homes in lava zones on the Big Island of Hawaii do not get cushy volcano insurance subsidized by the nonvolcano customers. Floridians are subsidized in such a manner. Tornadoes are much harder to forecast and don't cover nearly the area hurricanes do. Places with earthquakes like Japan and California have pesky things called "building codes" and "regulations" that actually attempt to prevent damage from earthquakes. Florida keeps building the same flimsy cheap houses OVER and OVER again. There are designs and materials that can stand hurricanes (circular walls, reinforced concrete, fewer windows) but Florida chooses to not require them because they know FEMA will bail them out. Meteors don't hit the earth in one spot. The Earth spins pretty fast and, I don't know if you know this, travels around the Sun at 67000mph. There isn't a meteor prone area because that's silly. Fun fact, most meteors hit the ocean because of course they do, the oceans cover most of earth.

That sounds optimistic

Maybe far less. Its hitting faster then expected. Wildfires are adding massive amounts of Co2 .

@@Toodustydownthere yes. I would guess 10 too 20 tops.

Don't forget about Wilma.

I work in gardening. Everything is going mold .mildew in ny. It will hit heavy.

The insurance problem will just get worst. Florida may not be livable if they keep getting storm damage. Maybe a small mobile home easily moved .

My favorite movie 🎥🎬👍👍👍 nice handle, I remember riding my motorcycle from Tampa to Crystal River on highway 19, it always floods West of that state road , that was a 1981 , Florida was lots of fun ♥️✝️🙏 praying for those that were systemically evacuated ‼️

Biden don't know were he took his last shit little lone were Florida is at thanks Democrats for destroying America and all this inflation!!

Where's FEMA ❓❓❓ on vacation in Hawaii sleeping in Luxury hotels, ‼️

Do you know how stupid you sound right now?

That WONT happen there. Anyone in the county who knows the area from Crystal River towards the Gulf is HIGHLY prone to flooding. It is a marsh land. Years ago before I left, it became illegal and unpermitted to build anything but a stilt home. I lived there 23 years and my friend owned a private island retreat down Ozello trail. You also stand a great chance of being uninsurable, he wasnt. They refused to.

Oh peleeez!!

Seminoles still lost...

Yeah, they did a suburb job at the Maui Massacre, the media blackout though, its raising a few questions.

Florida is a sand bar that extends into the Atlantic Ocean and apparently the Govenor ran off all the Mexicans so who will rebuild?

Go into a dark room and continue to loathe yourself.

thoughts and prayers is American slang for tough shit.

Sarcasm WILL NOT save you

It's supposed to be comforting but comes across as flat and tone deaf. Kinda like Doris Sanfords insane, demented yet hysterical children's book on serious subjects

Yes. Let's stop subsidizing those floridians. They wanted free market capitalism and rugged individualism so tough shit.

What do you have against rich folk?

@@Marc-rf9ei you mean what do they have against us? They’ve been waging economic warfare against us for generations. People starving and dying in medical poverty. People unhoused and dying in the streets. This is war and should not be treated as anything less. I only give whats received which is absolute contempt.

There was no building code when many of these structures were built. They were just people that need houses and built them as best they could

How about just building where it Makes SENSE to build?? the coast is always toast, I am native to Florida and this is normal flooding zones that have been ignored for 50 or more years, you are foolish to believe otherwise.

​@@Feribrat99You could theoretically build neighborhoods and houses to withstand hurricanes. Circular houses, earth sheltered houses (think Hobbit), geodesic domes, elevation on concrete with a carport underneath. Florida requires none of these because they know you and I will bail them out with FEMA dollars. Besides, that sounds like centralized economic planning and that's socialism! The market can decide what houses are best, except it doesn't because the cheapest builder usually wins, not the highest quality.

@@brucehanna-sk8hu cause they should have stayed home.

It's all ready bad were I live covids back schools shutdown getting ready to have another shutdown what I heard!!

Just her house she left right. Homes are replaceable.❤

@@djdavisiscool oh yeah they left but some of their friends stayed behind. Everyone safe just flooded almost 4 feet

Preach the truth yep you nailed it.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if a hurricane hits the same exact spot next year.

I said that last year btw

@@rdallas81 neither would I

I left South Florida after 34 years, wasn't so much because of the storms, more about....well, not the place to be when SHTF, but every place is gonna suck. I remember when Obama, in his oh so special way, called preppers conspiracy theorist.

Hypocrite

I’m 😅😅😅

Should have cast that spell a few days ago, don't ya think?

You do know every person being affected this hurricane is absolutely aware of the consequences of living where they do.

It was a cat 3 that flooded stuff. This has happened in Florida forever.

That was a bouy in 3’ of stagnant water

And the earth is flat and evolution is made up by Satan! 😜😜 * sarcasm 😮

Climate Change is natural, and not the nonsense they're telling you. The ice caps aren't melting cause "Global Warming, the Earth will enter an Ice Age NATURALLY. IT'S A CYCLE.

@@seanstoica6301The people he talked to 3:32 said that they have never seen water that high in their homes and that far inland past US19.

Stop paying homeowner's insurance. It's a scam and always has been

Thanks for sharing, it means so much to everyone, your feelings.

Waa! Waa! Trans people! Every dumb conservative

Global warming is true af. It’s due to the moisture of Madonna’s 🐱

Dum dum Democrats haven't figured out what sex they want to be yet!! pedophiles

That’s what happens when you live in a swamp

Glad you are ok peacefulpunk

@@valentemedina5102 everyone loves Crystal River. Come and visit and you’ll understand :)

It's definitely better where you live 😂

No we don’t. Do you have tornado? Fires? Mudslides?

all but the mudslides, don't get cockey @@Dbb27

poor thing doesn't know any better.

she is assuming we have mountains poor thing

Well, if they can hit states west of Florida. I think it can hit the west side of florida

I live in this area. I was told in one day that the storm had become a hurricane and that I needed evacuate. I had to scramble to find accommodations inland after they evacuated neighborhoods from 30 other counties that same day. There was barely any notice for us but I was really lucky. My house has 6 feet of flooding. Hopefully you can empathize with our situation more knowing that.

​@@peacefulpunk9896Will your insurance cover it? 🙏

A lot of people couldn't leave, somehow diesel had contaminated the gas stations.

There are ZERO 5 star hotels in Crystal River the likes FEMA are in now. I can assure you of that fact!

​@@jakeroberts7435really? That true? How many stations? If true that's insanse.

probably has wet buns, LOL.

WTH are you on about?

@@marchellochiovelli7259they are a Christian they don’t have to make sense 😂

Trump

Commies. That's why.

​@@dirk7816TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.

My ex wife lives there 😮

A conservative governor won in a landslide. If a liberal had won CNN would be telling their minions that we should give the victims shelter, like the illegals

Everyone that knows you thinks you're weird. You know that, right?

Oh that's freaking hilarious 😅😅😅

...and that's how you ruin onion rings.

Prayers your home goes under water. 🙏

@@SicsemperevelloMortemtyr-by9hjunlike Floridians, most of us weren’t stupid enough to build millions of homes in a flood zone

@@brqxton8974 There's Natural Disasters everywhere.

Aborted fetuses aren't children

@@hughjass1835 Then why if a drunk kills a pregnant woman they are charged with two murders?

So you think you should obey or become a criminal. If our ancestors thought like that you wouldn't be here

@@hughjass1835 No surprise you weren't even able to read that whole sentence before replying... If you are so tough and can ride out the storm, go for it. Just don't cry for help when you refused.

That's a lot different than "be charged with a felony" Dumdum

That's dumb. If they have to pay a penalty when they need rescue, people won't call for rescue next time. They'll just try to save themselves. You'll get people killed with this kind of thinking.

@@cartoonraccoon2078it would appear you also couldn’t read the whole comment. Never did he say anything about crying for help. He was simply saying it is stupid that if you dont evacuate and end up needing to be rescued you are immediately a criminal. The government has no right to tell you to leave your house and charge you with a felony if you don’t. That’s just tyrannical regardless of the circumstances.

Relocate them to your house not mine!!

Yeah, he knows a lot about floods...

@@brucehanna-sk8hu I'm sick and tired of my people having to risk their lives to go rescue. If somebody's told to evacuate they don't evacuate and they need to be rescued charge them with simple easy I don't think you have ever done a rescue of a bunch of people after hurricane I have multiple hundreds

Have you not noticed what Biden has done to destroy America why don't you give them the money to evacuate!!

Florida has a surplus, Joe's government is running a huge deficit. Joe tries to borrow money from Florida.

go back to your home planet fool.

You don’t know shit shut up

This should be good... please explain how the everglads are encouraging hurricanes.

@@youWoNtLikeMe04 Re-read the text. Apparently you didn't comprehend it.

@@thatotherguy7596 i read it. But you didn't explain how the everglades affected the climate. All you mentioned was real estate developers. Your comment makes absolutely no sense.

@@youWoNtLikeMe04 The everglades serve as a buffer between the land and the sea. By eliminating half of that ecosystem the severity of the storms will not been reduced as much as it otherwise would have been by the time they reach populated areas.

Lmaooooooo triggered asf

I'm sure where you live is heaven😆🖕

You’re that butthurt over Ron huh old man?

Kirk Marshall maybe you need IRL HARASSMENT

bite my arse you are a frelling moron hiding behind a name piece. and probably suck canal water and think it is coffee.
