Desperate search for survivors after powerful Hurricane Ida l WNT 

Yes the Cajun Navy are such great people. They've saved hundreds already. They deserve a reward or something.

Please, please, you guys...do not wait out a hurricane IN YOUR ATTIC!! The flood waters will rise and trap you. It will be your grave. Evacuate when you are told to do so! Whether it’s Fires in California, floods in LA. Do not make people risk their lives to come and get you! Stay safe out there everyone. Hang in there.

We gotta quit living and acting like disaster can’t happen to us. Praying for Louisiana🙏🏽🙏🏽

In defiance?! Most people can't afford a unexpected $400 expense how do you expect people to evacuate with no money in the middle of a pandemic?

Wow, the people that were helping out with the hospital are incredible... I hope all of their family and friends are okay... prayers for everyone dealing with the destruction from this storm!!

Please , when you have a mandatory evacuation, believe it. Prayers to all those affected by Hurricane Ida

Situations like this I think what you can learn from this is don’t get attached to material things because they can’t save you,

I remember the cajun navy defying the military to rescue people after Catrina. God bless these volunteers

I've been prepping since 2016. Now I know I was right to do so. We should all try to prep for emergencies. I'll help my neighbours when the time comes.

We need to officially recognize and give the Presidential award to the members of the Cajun Navy as well as select civilians who made fire breaks in the wildfires to save neighborhoods. We should also give a monetary award for funding their service. In times like these, we need civilians to step up and lend a hand. We need to encourage this. People helping people. Once upon a time, officials could handle most things, but the record number of disasters happening all at once, requires a greater community response. We still do what we can, but we are all in this together and the prime directive is both, 'Do unto others as you would have them do to you' and saving lives and then property. This is the time for good and outstanding men and women to rise up and show the stuff they are made of.

Instead of donating to the Red Cross, how about sending a little $$ to the Great Cajun Navy. True heroes!

I live in St Bernard Parish, just Southeast of New Orleans. We didn’t get the worst of it, Thank GOD! This is so heartbreaking and reminiscent of Hurricane Katrina . GOD bless everyone affected by Ida!

Louisiana just can’t get a break smh I pray everyone is okay 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

New Orleans is my adopted home and I try to get down there as regularly as I can. I have a lot of good friends that live down there thank God they are all safe. I have met lots of wonderful people from all cultures races you name it and they are good wonderful people. To see them hurting and crying is making me hurt and cry for them

The people of Louisiana will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Great respect. Their kindness when I lived their in 1978 will never be forgotten. Bless y'all.and all in path of storm

Damn I feel bad , especially the people who are in the hospital smh

Sending prayers to you all from Australia..o feel so sorry for you all going through something so horrific.

The man carrying his precious bunny ❤️

If anyone thinks there’s only 2 deaths you’re crazy

Sending prayers to everyone in Louisiana!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💯

These are the times billionaires need to step up.

My heart goes out to you. Sending prayers and love to the victims of this horrible hurricane.

With all the Flooding and Weather destruction I think we are looking at the new normal around the world.

My prayers go out to all the children in Louisiana with out a bed to lay on tonight 🙏

Sending prayers and love to you in Louisiana. God bless you all.

Cajun Navy are the angels of the south we can't make it without em!

Praying for all the victims and who lost their homes. Stay strong people. 🙏

Why after anniversary of Katrina did these people stay 😥 knowing cat 4 and the damage impact .... people need to start leaving! Save your lives and pets!!!

The Cajun Navy. Real Heroes.

no electricity in the most hot and humid place i've ever visited. and gators in flood waters. yikes 😬 i could never deal with the hurricane risks every year

My prayers to America, protect them Lord🙏

I have been praying for the people

I am in Lutcher, LA and we are currently without power. The eye came over us, and it was an awesome spectacle to see those heavy winds. I was so worried that the giant oak tree in the back was going to fall on our house, but thankfully, it didn't. We really lucked out, because none of our property was damaged, but the trees and power lines took the brunt of the damage.

Wow I pray 🙏 for everyone in Louisiana and my family that’s in Clinton and in Baton Rouge please God keep them safe ❤️

Sending prayers from Australia 🇦🇺

Is it just me or is it awesome that the dude in his flooded car saved his pack of Marlboro cigarettes? After all that chaos, he's going to need a smoke.

My heart with you all , From Sudan sending prayers and hopefully it will pass soon ..

It's wild to me that some of these people don't remember the craziness of Hurricane Katrina. It's was a Cat 5 in 2005 followed by another even stronger Cat 5, Hurricane Rita just 2 weeks later. My heart goes out to the people in these areas dealing with these tragic conditions.

God bless the cajun navy! Thank you all.

At least the Levees didn’t rupture. Some good news.

Without these strong men what would this country be without them!!! Hope this humbles people... As Americans we are always stronger together ❤️ thank you Cajun Navy

For those people who didn't have the financial means to get out... this was your wake up call.

Save animals!!!!!!

God bless the people and rescues heroes in Louisiana🙏

All you can say is hurricanes are horrible been thru several here in Florida, glad to hear the people are Okay. God bless everyone in New Orleans, here is where everyone comes together helps, clean up, and rebuilds.

It will always be weird seeing this humid hell hole of a state I call home in the news.

You know what's aggravating, last year when Laura hit our house in Lake Charles was hit really hard amongst many others and they never gave us any relief or help

Not the lady making sure she had her phone and cigarettes lmao

Other than evacuating I don’t know what these poor people could have done. Living in Florida or along the Gulf Coast is a lot like playing Russian Roulette. Sooner than later you lose. Climate change has ruined coastal living in this country.

May god be with us , it’s been a tough year

Prayers to our brothers and sisters in Louisiana 🙏

Praying for Louisiana!🙌🏼🙌🏼♥️

Sending hope and love to these victims

GOD have mercy 🥺 🙏 🙏🙏

Something has to to be done where these houses are build prayers to all out there

I'm in PA, and it's been down pouring since I woke up at 7am this morning to get my girls ready for school. By 3:30, water was ankle deep! Our power went out for about 2hrs.. I can only imagine what these people are going thru. Hope everyone stays safe and well

I'm so so glad we are blessed that nothing bad happened to us we are 45 min from new Orleans Biloxi missippi I pray for all my loved ones just right next door🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thankyou for caring for these stranded people, im crying i hope there going be ok my heart goes out all!!

Our hearts and prayers go out to the American people Egyptian People

That broke me “It just kept coming” 💔.

This is so heartbreaking. Stay strong people, and I hope pets/animals also can get a shelter. 🙏

Please save and rescue all sweet precious animals ❗❗❗❗🕊️😭🌹🌹😭🌹🌹🌹🌹😭🌹🕊️🕊️☮️☮️🕊️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️🌹🌷🌷

When traveling in these parrishes on a normal day you can see alligators along the highway. Imagine walking thru that flooded water now.

This was so heartbreaking, man she did damage she was not playing & didn’t discriminate none, made a lot of ppl clean house for sure

I don’t want to hear about defiance! Most of these people don’t have family elsewhere, are physically disabled, or have the financial means to leave and stay in a hotel for 30 days… Some people just couldn’t leave! God bless them.

Someone from nola here, it took us 18 hours to get to TX which should have been about 5-7 hours. Also i see alot of people saying people should have left, we had 2 days to prepare!!!! I would not wish this on anyone, also alot of people did not have the money to leave, on top of the facts hotels now jacking up prices 100s of dollars in TX, they are literally moving the prices up daily and if your cant pay you cant stay. Its a loose loose situation. Also donate to anyone but don't use FEMA as a 1st choice they do not help much, lastly never forget the Army Core Engineers admitted to blowing the levees after Katrina in 2016.

Americans be like: let's settle in a storm prone area and build cute little wooden houses😒😒

I have family in Houma. I Thank God that my family made it to Texas from the hurricane. Normally it would have taken about 4 hours to make it to Beaumont, but it took them about 9 hours.

Save animals!

My son is in Afghanistan and his next mission is to help people in Louisiana i haven't heard from my son in 3weeks i miss you just want to hug you see you soon 🙏❤🙏❤

Father God help them all in Jesus name Amen

Omg this is amazingly horrible 😦. My prayers 🙏🏿

Ppl please watch for gators

me in cali "dang they got rain"

God Bless all

Thank you for someone showing not just people but the man carrying his pet rabbit. He wasn't leaving with out his bunny.

Please stop rebuilding in this hazardous area. This keeps happening.

People need to start sending food and water now instead of waiting until it's too late like always

One thing about my fellow Louisiana’s is we all like a family when this happens 🙏🏽🌀☝️

Seeing all these scenes are almost traumatic for me. As a Floridian the most bizarre feeling is walking out after a hurricane and seeing all the damage and footage of what was going on around you. It’s an other worldly sort of feeling. The one thing that’s always beautiful is seeing how as people start coming out, there’s always people who’s first reaction is to go out and help. One thing that always strikes me is as soon as it’s safe to go out, it’s almost human nature to go out and check on our neighbors. Everyone sorta filing out and checking on each other.

Sending prayers to all. Stay STRONG and stay safe

Prayers for Louisiana, hoping everyone makes it to a safe place .

I WATCHED CRAWL, WATCH OUT FOR CROCODILES.

Watching this storm drama unfold is like watching Stanley beat Stella again 😵

I don’t understand why people stay around to beat the strom

Omg. God please be with these people 🙏🏽

My heart goes out to them. Talk about a bad storm, bad day Maybee they should evacuate new orleans permanently beacouse of these storms

Hurricane Ida and Katrina both hit on the same day but Ida hit 16 years later on the exact day. Coincidence

Praying for Louisiana

Until it has happened to you, you will never truly know the desperation of being trapped in a flood!

Prayers for all. Please leave when they say to evacuate. It’s not worth your life. I knew when they said Ida was worse than Katrina, this was going to be bad. I understand the people who live in LA think they can sit out a hurricane, but not one like this. I pray everyone gets to safety.

Why did the people not leave when they were told to! This is sad

170mph winds ? That's a cat5. Right?

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others. But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted". Matthew 23 NIV YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land. AND WHEN YOU PRAY, DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. BUT WHEN YOU PRAY GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. "Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway", we can use google search. These are the teachings, The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God. REPENT, and start doing what is right. If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples; then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. GOD IS SPIRIT so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth. In the New Heaven and New Earth, only Righteousness dwells. May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.

God bless you guys going to keep you guys in my prayers I couldn't imagine

the dozen's of people who defy the mandatory evacuation must feel so proud now. Go freedom!

I’m glad I live in Michigan and not places like that but I am praying for all of you guys out there

My prayers for the state of Louisiana. Stay strong.

I'm sending my prayers from Japan to all affected by it🙏

hahahahaha CAJUN NAVY, GO! GO! Who would have thought those ole boys in lifted trucks, and flat bottom fishin boats would be heros.
