Eagle8 HD looks at Helene damage in Clearwater Beach 

If I owned a community in a hurricane prone area, I would only allow stilted homes, made of cinderblock and their shape would have to be round. With a round house, the winds wrap around the structure following it's shape. Compared to a square or rectangular shaped house that gets the full force of the wind against a flat wall. There is nowhere for the wind to go, bcuz it's not being deverted to go around the structure. So gust after gust pummels that flat surface, eventually knocking down the wall

Great footage, y'all, thank you for this!

This is the risk of living on the Coastal Regions...! It's Great when it's Good, and Worst when it's Bad...!

Thank you for covering the residential north side of the beach and Island Estates.

Horrible. We used to live in Crestview and lost it all in Frederick in '78. We're not there anymore but I miss it. Never forget what I didn't permanently block out. And that was nowhere near what this mess is. I really feel for people right now. Like the man said, even after the actual storm is gone, that's still a dangerous situation happening. I really hope they get people supplies and safe. It's really frightening when the storm is happening and then the power goes out and you're just stuck in the dark. Waiting. Surrounded by water. It's so scary. This is craziness.

Great video! This is the problem living so close to the ocean at that elevation. Won't be the last time!

That’s a Very Good ,Point . The sand is now contaminated. The Gulf has a lot of contaminated & floating Junk that can Sink Boats BE CAREFUL

Thank y'all for covering Clearwater. I've shared this with my friends who moved out of state. This is hearbreaking yet beautiful all at once.

These guys have no clue what a bulldozer is...lol

They were given plenty of warning to move cars.

"If we rescue you in our boat, will you take our personality test?"

Water damage not just sand water damage!,,,,,,,

17:00 Holy car fire! :-(

"get that sand out from where it shouldn't be" - I mean, really - the sand is going exactly where it should be - it's us that need to do some adjusting.

All 1st Floors should Have Hurricane Roll Down Shutters ,

Can you fly over Sand Key just over the small bridge?

If they still weren’t there, they wouldn’t be stranded. “Sand”……………….

The revenue loss for hotels, restaurants, bars and shops is going to astronomical!

is there any video of Indian Rocks Beach especially around 8th avenue

Salt water intrusion on any vehicle, electric or internal combustion, can catch fire due to the corrosive properties of salt water. It’s only a matter of when that more cars will catch fire, and whatever they’re next to.

Not good for 2024-2025 tourist season, great loss of revenue.

Coming in a month's time, hopefully it will be in better shape by then 🙏🙏🙏

it's an electric car. they don't tolerate being underwater.

Any pictures of Sand Key?

Went the day after the hurricane. The sea is still thriving. All is well. It’s a part of beach life. The good outweighs the bad. I’m at Clearwater Beach weekly and this is bad but material things can be replaced. We’re blessed

Happy days in Florida ... Build back bigger and better ... this will NEVER happen again ... ! ... Trust me, I know ...

A cleanup that just creates more carbon and makes the problem worst. We need to change our expectations.

None of us r working on beach. The vessel I work on was out for "dry dock" since September 1st. We were scheduled to restart September 26th for the "power boat races. Aunty Helen said NOPE im coming" canceled. " We were hoping we'd still get to work Friday & sat.. .. Of course, we didn't know till early morning how bad the storm surge was.. Since we haven't worked in a month. Most of us work paycheck to paycheck.. Eviction is a real fear. I try to stay positive since many ppl died ^ or lost everything. 🐬🌴🦜💙🐊🌈
