Hurricane Destroyed Pensacola! 

Hurricane Sally: I destroyed Pensacola! Hurricane Ivan: That's so cute, amateur.

Yeah I've lived in Pensacola my whole life, we weren't quite prepared for Sally to be this bad.

Some people see a barge in their backyard - I see the base for my new pontoon party boat.

It’s so funny to me that this was in my recommended. I was born and raised in Pensacola but moved to TN in 2015 for school. I’m randomly back in Pensacola to help my grandparents after hurricane sally hit their house pretty bad and this pops up on my homepage. So cool! Interesting video too! Sad to see how everyone was hit so hard with little warning 😥 but Pensacola has such a great community, everyone will get through it together!

Thanks for posting! Love you guys. Always positive, even while faced with so much adversity.

Dogs are so resourceful! They take everything in stride & deal with it. Bella is beautiful!

It could have been worse, much, much worse. I lived in Pensacola 2017-2019, off Alcaniz, a lovely town, beaches second to none. My peeps are still there and grateful damage, loss of life, etc., wasn’t worse. Sorry you guys were displaced.

This randomly popped up on my feed. Got a friend lives down there. Was kind of neat to see all the things they were talking about. Thanks for that. Hope the wedding went well, circumstances aside.

You have a great attitude about the whole ordeal. Most people would have lost their minds over the timing of Hurricane Sally.

I had to move away from Pcola last year and I miss it so much! It breaks my heart to see the videos and photos of the aftermath of Sally. I enjoyed your humor out of the situation and loved seeing familiar places again in your video though.

Glad you guys are ok. Love the “Go with the flow, Is what it is, Roll with it, Make the best of it” attitude. Actions follow thoughts. That barge situation is NUTZ 🚢🤪 congrats on the wedding!!!!🍺🥳🍻🥳🍻🥳🍺

I appreciate you documenting all this, this hit us pretty hard... I got flooded into my house for 4 days..

Thanks for watching everyone! What do you think about all these barges?

A great example of American optimism! Way to go!

Just found your page. Hurricane Delta may hit us at the end of the week now. I'm over this year! I'm near cantonment and praying these trees don't hit my house by the end of the week.

Great to see your documentary of Sally. It's been 4 years now that I first saw one of your videos before we came to visit the beautiful land of Pensacola to see the Gulf and do some fishing. You provided some great fishing advise. I hope that Joe Patties gets back up n going. Last I saw they were surrounded by water. Well this year we decided to come in Sept, but were in Panama City when Sally made landfall. What a ride those hurricanes are. My fiance and I hated to see the damage it caused to the your surrounding area. Keep up the good work. BTW Great advise. Life never does go as planned, but with change comes adaptation.

looks like my town when Super Storm Sandy hit. didn't ruin any bridges that I know of but the house damage was severe- I'd say 85% of my town is lifted now. glad you guys made it

Congratulations on yalls wedding buddy! Keeping yall and the rest of florida in our prayers.

Long time J! Look at you broski! Keep up good work broski. Congratulations to you and your new family!!

Just glad you guys are ok. That was a bad one but like you said you have no control ya just have to role with is. The barges was crazy. Good luck on the wedding. Need video. LOL

Another insane logistic with this storm was the amount of rain we got! 35+ inches of rainfall in some places around here! It deluged for more than a day straight. I live 2 or so miles from the bay, and houses on the other side of the street we’re getting a foot of water in their houses! I am insanely lucky and I now have a new respect for the power of a hurricane. 🌧

I am in Pensacola also. My poor neighborhood is destroyed. No one was prepared for Sally.

Your attitude is inspirational! Thanks

Sometimes in Challenges we find our greatest strengths and our worst weaknesses, and to grow further we need our feathers ruffled up a bit. Congrats, Stay Safe !!!!!

Great video. I love my hometown but this is why I passed on moving back. Hurricane central city. Still praying for my hometown🙏🏽

So glad it all worked out! Can’t wait for the wedding episode. You guys just role with the punches. You’ll come out strong.

I live in Pensacola and litterally just moved into an apartment a week before Sally and we had zero damage and didn't lose power not even a flicker! I work in Lillian and they got decimated!

I live in Pensacola, I have someone in the family that USED to work for Suckska and he spoke with someone who still works there and he said they Did not prepare the night at all for this storm even though they were on the news saying they did prepare for 30 mile winds.

Staying POSITIVE,ATTITUDES. GREAT FAMILY AND FRIENDS.YOU CAN OVER COME PRETTY MUCH ALL THAT LIFE THROWS AT YOU.CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH.

true survivors to get through a hurricane and the logistics of a wedding and the rest; got to think all will be well in pennsacola fl

Glad your ok thanks for sharing Jack!

thats one lucky house, can you imagine all the lawsuits that barge company is gonna have

The company who owns those barges and the company who was building the bridge is going to PAY!!

I live off Dog Track Rd and the office I work out of is in Gulf Breeze. I'm glad we have work from home at the moment.

Sally was Ivan’s little sister! She sure snuck in on us. No real damage for us, just 6 days without power, 3 days no water. Very thankful it wasn’t worse.

Dude, you do a fantastic video. I don't remember seeing as good of a news report on Sally. I'm glad you got that marriage thing taken care of in spite of what could have looked like a divine intervention to stop it! I wish you the best my veteran brother...

Thank you and good luck. Really great attitude.

This is absolutely EPIC!!! I'm proud to know you!

Yep we got absolutely destroyed. Our roof is messed up and big ass hole and ceiling was leaking and I almost died twice and we were hit by a tornado.

I heard Sheriff Morgan say, "we have even talked to the Navy about dropping ordnance on the barge." I couldn't believe it. Great video! Thanks!

And then Pensacola freaked out hearing about Delta. XD Wooooo we lucked out on that one.

i live in pace florida that hurricane was something else.

That's crazy, hope you're ok, and have a great day😀!

This is EXACTLY why I haven't made doc appts yet. All my doctors are in pcola.Navarre got pretty flooded.

Glad to hear everyone is OK. From personal experience I'd say that the more difficult things are up to the wedding, the longer the marriage will last. On another note, two months ago my wife and I decided to move from New Orleans to Pensacola. Still planning on the move as soon as we get the house here in NOLA sold.

I live in Myrtle Grove Here in Pensacola and it took 3 days to get the trees cleared just so you could get down Lillian Hwy.

Great video! Love those aerials man!! Lol

***Everyone would have to go around to Quintette Rd*** ...If the I10 bridge got damaged. great video brother! -D

That is insane. Glad y'all are ok.

Amazing video Yak, great info too. thanks for sharing!

Please someone that lives in Pensacola, share the progress with the clean up of pensacola. My wife and I visit every year. Were supposed to be there the third week in October. Were staying at the big lagoon state park.

It is weird how things tend to control our destinies at times in our lives. I few years back I was considering moving to Pensacola, but decided against it. Crazy Ol world we live in.

Rode it out in Orange Beach. Wildest storm I've ever been in. Ivan was bad, but there was warning. Most people were gone. This one snuck up on us. Most people I've talked to, that have the option, have said never again will they stick around. I was posted up on the Perdido Pass bridge (police officer) right up until the eyewall was coming ashore. There was a radar truck next to me that stayed through the whole storm that clocked 132mph wind gusts once the eyewall hit.

Olive Road got thrashed near Cody Ln. Hope y'all are doing well.

Glad you wer safe looks terrible down there with all the damage be safe my friend God bless you and Samantha

Dang Yak! You are right, you pick up and carry on, in a different direction if need be! Can't wait for the wedding video, you can't plan this sh!7. It's an adventure. Good work!

incompetent contractor. Not many people are any good at their jobs anymore. Captains with the company should have repositioned the barges to a safe cove for the storm.

thank god your family is safe good luck

Glad you're making light of a shitty situation. Awesome video

I live in Pensacola and it was really crazy

We plan to move to pensacola area but more north. How long did it take for the power to come back? We are looking towards moving right at the FL/AL border. But want to make sure we will be somewhat safe if a Hurricane hits. I am from Jersey and it took 2+ weeks for power to come back during Sandy.

Yak you are a Great Man, God Bless !

Sally, you broke that bridge, all that money is coming out of your paycheck!

We will have to deal with the aftermath now. Months of shitty traffic from Navarre to Pensacola.

Good video. We lucked out while two trees fell fortunately they just missed out house and shop.

So funny thing about this video is that it shows a section of property off Bayshore drive. The significance of that is years ago when Ivan hit Pensacola, i cleared property on Bayshore Drive. The VERY PROPERTY where that barge is sitting!!! I need more aerial of that scene PLEASE.

Our Creator always in charge ... your a believable. Great Video

My son and his fiancee were supposed to be married on the 19th but the venue and other vendors had no power so now they're getting married in December.

My favorite RU-vid channel to watch

Yep. Life is an adventure. You have a great attitude.

Great attitude. It will make you stronger..

Dude! Hate that for you and Brant. Hope the relocate goes well.

Yes he said "rurnt". Look it up !

All I'm hearing is that Hurricane Sally is Samantha's fault.

Why didn’t they sink the barges? We always put the barge on the bottom. It’s nothing to raise one that is fresh and not in the mud.

I love how positive you are. I live in Pace .Great video

Glad you guys made it through safe!! Congrats on the wedding!! What software do you use to edit your videos?

Here we are 4 years later. The bridge won the law suite.

We had just walked 3 mile on Sunday 😅 looks like we're not doing that anytime soon.

“The Legendary Motley Nuptial Experience” should be the title of your next vlog!

We were all caught off guard for sure! #PensacolaStrong

Crazy. People need to start preparing for these storms like tie down your boats and barges. I’m thankfully we only had a jet ski in our yard and not a barge.

Beautiful pup! Be safe man!

I think the bridge builders need to pay everyone affected by the barges! I used to be an offshore boat captain and before storms we would go out and tie up barges so this would not happen. That's how I know exactly what I'm talking about! 100% of this could have been avoided! Have a Blessed day-

I think the pop-up would make a nice temporary office

Humans plan, God laughs.

Well I see your wedding ring. So I know you guys pulled it off. Congrats!

I'm here 6 days no power!!!!! Sickkkkk

I got lucky. I didn't end up with any damage to my house. Just a huge part of one of my trees split.

Tuesday and Wednesday was soooooo much fun.....not really. I live off of Blue Angel and the traffic was terrible after Sally passed. We weren’t prepared and we all underestimated what was gonna happen. We didn’t have power for 3 days and literally had to throw away all the groceries we’d just bought. We’re still here though and that’s all that matters.

nice Cav Stetson in the background... Scouts Out!

Congrats on getting your wedding done there. Just seems like yesterday i was wondering when you two were going to get married 👍🇺🇸

shoulda came over by perdido key! i got a nice sail boat in my front yard from the storm!

That’s right Yak, sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy the ride lol 👌 you’ll have lots of good story’s from this 😊👍👍👍

Very cool vlog 👍 was not that bad down here on Muldoon , stay safe !

Most of us just visit these places thinking how lucky these people are that get to live by the ocean. This is the unfortunate reality for them. Just the 3 mile bridge being down is gonna mess up things for quite some time.

Great video Jack.....saw that natty!!! hehe

That ad with Tracey Kagan! My gosh, she couldn’t wash her hair at least? 😂😂😂😂

Just watched a rather scary prediction of three more hurricanes forecasted to hit very close to Pensacola and one was a direct hit over the next two weeks. That stinks! Think I'd move out florida temporarily, who needs all that undue stress on a new marriage and not to mention trying to sleep without electricity and A/C!
