#storm #surge from #hurricanehelene destroyed many homes and businesses in #CedarKey #Florida. #2024 #video #aerial #footage #hurricane Licensing via www.wxchasing.com
Homes built with sticks not much protection for the people. The Wolfe is on the rise huffing and puffing blowing their houses down sticks by the Ocean a deadly combination for a storm surge. Praying for all Souls as Florida has been getting hit hard. The world must repent and come home to their sovereign Messiah.
I started going to cedar key on the weekends while in college at UF back in 93. I ended up loving it and doing some grad research project out there. After moving out of Florida, I went back for weekend stays when I could. I love the people and the city. Thinking about them all today.
Aloha. Also at UF, used to skip school for mental health and go to cedar key. Rent a skiff and fish all day. These guys just got whacked last year. They need to catch a break.
@@Shelley-j2y Or creating more drama where there shouldn't be, in 2024 many and more folks are aware that our country's state of media has and has never been for the citizens, I stopped watching main stream media years ago.
The mainstream media has a huge role in society, if they didn’t exist so many people would have no reason to exist, people would have nothing to constantly complain about in every RU-vid news clip. Be happy that it gives you something to do with your sad little lives.
@thewatchmen4920 They look like metal, and they tie the rafters to the walls. Back in the day every sing roof would blow right off because they would just sit on the walls.
As a Floridian even when my area doesn't get hit, I ache for my fellow Floridians.. it's devastating to see your community like this, it's not easy in any way. Stay safe and wishing you all a quick recovery friends.
'friends'???? The beach front homes are rentals, or some millionaires third vacation home... They don't know or care about you while they dig into YOUR bank account to rebuild
People’s EVERYTHING wiped out in minutes! My heart and prayers go out to everyone affected by this monster! My heart breaks thinking about all the loss. The loss of life. The loss of animals lives 🙏💔🙏
Most of the destruction does happen quickly but this storm rages on for hours and carries it all everywhere. It's terrifying. Rest in peace to all that perished.
The real horror begins. Clean up, rebuilding, no power and dealing with the insurance companies. I am sorry you are going through this. The damage is unbelievable.
2:04 And then going through it all again. One of the hotels filmed here didn’t rebuild after last year (Idalia?) and this time Helene took out the ENTIRE bottom floors. (It’s the pink /purple structure)
I was stunned amazed and devastated watching you two last night. I watched from Manchester UK. You deserve some kind of recognition for what you documented. I'm so very sorry for what peeps are living through. Take great care and thankyou gentlemen ❤️🇬🇧🙏
Thank you, sick of reporters standing around in rain gear in the dark. Wish they'd upgrade to 2024 with more drone footage, which tells the story without the hype.
As Floridians, we often hate the new and expensive hurricane building codes. But, watching this video, we have a better appreciation of why it's necessary. One house is demolished while the better built home next door is fine. My heart breaks for all the victims. I'm waiting to hear from my friend who lives just east of Tallahassee. She took a direct hit. 😢
Good grief... you are a master at that drone. Thank you for these videos. I feel so bad for those folks. How does that mess even get cleaned up, so much devastation. That must have been a horrific night to go through... 😢💔
LOTS of ground floor blowouts from storm surge where as upper floors did quite well, comparatively! I think I also see definite tornadic swaths of destruction in areas of far less damage.
I wouldn't live in Florida, but if that is where I was from or where I had to work, I would not live along the coast. It's a fool's game living coastally, especially these days, and only a matter of time before this happens. I would absolutely live inland and joyfully visit the coast when the weather was different. Shoot, I grew up on the shores of Lake Erie, no hurricanes, no tidal surges, nothing, and still, in the spring, there were several times when the lake flooded and our house was IN the lake along with everyone else's. If you live by water, the water WILL get you at some point. It's powerful and dangerous. God be with you, Floridians.
11:09 and the s-5 clamps holding the solar panels on. 120mph and still on the roof amazing. Same clamps holding my panels on my metal roof. I'm about 30 miles west of Jacksonville. We had 80 mph gust and lost a lot. I can't imagine being in that path this was in
Sigh, it's a mess. Reminds me of Panama City after Michael. At first, I didn't even know where to start, then, I just started picking up one thing at a time, until I was done. Took a while, like days.
That's really sad. Cedar Key is such a beautiful and charming town. It's heartbreaking to see so much damage. My heart goes out to everyone hit hard by the hurricane.
Instead of suffering listening to some brain dead talking head news reporter, this a far more sobering means to witness the aftermath. Godspeed your recovery.
So instead of watching the talking head news reporters we can come to a video like this and read comments by the brain dead commenters complaining about the talking head news reporters!! 😅😂
Even if I could afford living on the water/beach I would never buy a house on the Florida coast. I'm perfectly happy being about 10 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico. I do feel bad for those who have been hurt and had property damage. I hope for a speedy recovery.
Yes, and the rest of us have to pay increasing insurance costs because these people continue to build and rebuild and rebuild their homes in coastal areas.
@@judymanuel4314Heck Debby brought flooding all the way up to PA. It’s not just here! Thing is these homes aren’t covered unless they have flood insurance. Where 1 in 100 have nationally. If they want to rebuild they take out federal LOANS. If they don’t have the cash. However, I wouldn’t build on the ocean!
Same. They keep rebuilding, we keep paying taxes. Wish there was some sort of reciprocity available for us. Reminds me of childless, single people who have to keep giving presents to other people's showers, weddings, birthdays, graduations. One could go bankrupt. But maybe then they'd qualify for relief!
A great service? By invading privacy with drones? Imagine your house was destroyed would you want it broadcasted front and center on YT? This is disgusting.
@@pearljam_1I’ve been fielding calls, texts, messages and emails from people wanting to know if their homes and businesses are still standing. I’ll start telling them no because you object. Almost everyone was evacuated, think better.
Refusing to cover certain areas and refusing to pay because of small print is HOW they make those profits. I am no fan of big business, but you have to remember, that first and foremost they ARE a business and are in it for the profit. They aren't a charity, or a cooperative where a group of people regularly pool money for a disaster. They are a business. If they aren't making a profit, they are gone. Honestly, they are like some sort of necessary evil anymore. :/
@@cherylberkey9056 people should stop building houses in stupid places.. almost everybody on the shore of Florida has had an insurance claim do to the weather.. 🤷 and they're all upset that it happened again.. 🤡
Thank you providing a video of the damage. Fox News all the news channels are not showing anything. They’re showing things from last night or 3 o’clock this morning!! I have family in Carrabelle and there’s nothing about that at all!
So sad. I wish the homes could be built based on potential weather for a particular area. These homes don’t look well built at all to be where they are.
Some of the very small first ones were rental cottages and quite old. Florida has the toughest building codes in the US. Many newer homes handle these storms quite well. Most homes built after Andrew will handle wind just fine. People who live right on the coast have to look at potential storm surge as well.
This was amazing, thank you! I'm a 3+ decade Floridian, I love Cedar Key and couldn't yet find updated coverage so I did a 'last hour' YT search. The first 1½ minutes is The Faraway Inn, I followed their blog & watched them rebuild like, 9 yrs ago. These private-owned, old island businesses are absolute treasures and becoming extinct. I can't imagine these businesses being able to rebuild or afford insurance in this current economy. It's just sickening.
Seems odd to me that so many people build on top of the water. Everybody with near ocean front property in Florida should SELL YESTERDAY if you still can. Same is true on the North Shore of Oahu. DON'T BE THE LAST SUCKER LEFT HOLDING THE BAG.
It's the rich and ultra rich. They will rebuild...insurance or not. Then WE will come for vacation or retirement. Why? Nature is wild but beautiful. ❤🎉😊
This is bad but nothing compared to Hurricane Andrew that came a ground in South Florida, at least there are still buildings still Standing, and still Road signs and Foolage left alive , in 1992 this is what the outskirts of The Eye wall of Andrew did nothing was left including trees
and they think glass windows covering the entire front of the house is hurricane proof. I know a plastic surgeon in Ft Myers. Home destroyed by Irma? (can't keep them straight) and he built back. It's almost as if these people think they're smarter than Mother Nature and above science.
@@hokeypokeypo You are starting to understand the truth and probably hard to actually realize and grasp. Got rid of TV "programming" 15 years ago. Research how the beta waves from TV change your brain patterns and make you more hypnotic, influence able and lowers your critical thinking skills!
Thank DeSantis. He's literally trying to pass legislation to use radioactive waste in the asphalt for your highways. This is what happens when evangelicals are in power. They have zero respect for nature or science
@edynoemi1123 yep. This used to be a special place. I was born here and thought I would die here, but lately I've been looking for better places to retire. It sure ain't what it used to be
As a Floridian my heart breaks for anyone who goes thur this…So sorry I know y’all just went thur this, now again. May the Lord give u strength mentally & physically. ❤️
Maybe the most poignant pic from the video at 8:26. Building with all the ground floor windows washed out with a surviving sign above one that says, "Now Open".
No offense, And i do feel bad for these people, but why are people building their houses and property soo close to the coast line and on beaches? As it goes. Foolish is the man who builds his house upon sand.
I talked to a man at a dog park a few years ago who had a condo left to him by his mother on Tybee Island. His monthly insurance then was nearly $2000/month as I recall. Crazy.
@@heehaw8401 My parents live in Cedar Keys and hurricane insurance is 28K a year. unless, you're already wealthy it's unaffordable for most. So many people in Cedar Keys rely on food stamps or some kind of government assistance.
For years. They keep rebuilding in an area we know will get destroyed. Insurance companies will no longer cover people there. Maybe because it happens every year yet folks continue to rebuild . And do you know who pays for it. Taxpayers.
It may not have been meant to be offensive. What will your negative comment be for Georgia, Carolinas, Tennessee, Kentucky? They are already facing the wrath of this storm. I will ask you what about the mid west with tornadoes, what about California with earthquakes and fires? No place is safe from nature.
Absolutely gut wrenching to watch. Drones are an amazing tool to allow quick assessment of reality that would otherwise take days or weeks. Hitting the "like" button is only to help cover some of your equipment cost and time. These folks need our collective help !!
If the fire just a few days ago and hurricane last month weren't enough.... So sorry you got hit again we will keep you all in prayer and hope that the rebuilding to new codes will stand up to anything thrown at your community.
I know that some people are unable to leave Florida. My heart goes out to them. Those who can, should. Permanently. People who are thinking about retiring to Florida should think again.
Courage a vous tous..il y a beaucoup de nettoyage a faire..et de reconstruction...oh la la..cette region si belle en bave vraiment..maintenant..super reportage..
Many believe it or not can not get certain coverages when built over water or within so many feet of a waterline. Some of these people will just eat their loses and some will never rebuild. The local businesses will suffer but Cedar Key will rebuild. Trust me Floridians (next to my home state of Texas) are great people. My aunt has lived on lake Sunnerfield for near 40 years. She’s has seen her share.
Most of it old construction. A lot of wood framing. Once brought up to date it will stand up to nature much better. I do hope people get the money to rebuild. We give enough to rebuild other countries. Let us rebuild ours.
Five years ago, I strongly considered/looked at purchasing on this island. I had loved the atmosphere and the surroundings. It was one of my favorite places that I seen in all of Florida travels. So glad I had not invest … my heart goes out to everyone of its residence.
Do you live in an underground bunker? Disasters like this can happen anywhere. Just in different flavors. It looks bad but most areas held up very well.
The fact that upper floors are good, is really interesting. They're clearly built to withstand the wind, but the water completely demolished the ground floors.
Yup, (almost) everything that's damaged was under water. It's probably not even so much the water itself as the debris in it. Everything high enough on strong concrete stilts appears to have survived. The trees seem to have coped well too.
