Hurricane Helene makes landfall in Florida 

You sound like a Crapifornian. People in Florida are tougher ! Just another hurricane, no big deal

Many people can't afford to leave. I live in Louisiana and stuck around during Francine, it's the first hurricane I've stayed behind for in many years and I'm not gonna do that again, it was a miserable 3 days without power and that one was barely a hurricane. Fortunately, I can afford to leave but most of my family cannot. I didn't leave because I went to book a flight the day before and most were sold out, and I wasn't driving anywhere.

A lot of people retire to Florida because it's cheaper. If you settle down outside of the tourist areas, it's very affordable. But yea, if you move to Florida because it's cheaper to retire there, you'll struggle to relocate in the event of an emergency. Honestly, that could go for anywhere - regardless of where you are, it's not easy to evacuate when you're poor. I was not in an emergency situation. But a storm did a lot of damage and snapped over 40 power poles in my small local town last year and knocked out my power for 10 days in the middle of August. I have a pet rabbit and had to evacuate to a motel out of town because even the motels here didn't have power and the heat would have killed my rabbit. I'm on a fixed income and had to rely on my mom to foot the bill of my evacuation. I'm lucky to have her for that. A lot of people don't have friends or family to help them like that.

Omg😮

Unreal@@

It's THE REDNECK RIVIERA 🤣😂

well some people need to get medication, food, and water not all people were prepared

My lights are off BTW

What bridge?

It’s mid at best

It happened during Katrina, they actually did find bodies with names written on them. People were told to do the same during Ida, but almost no one was dumb enough to stay behind, Ida was downgraded to a category 4, but those of us that left were expecting a category 5. 1400 died during Katrina, 30 died during Ida, the local authorities were riding around right before we left and made a pa in the city telling people to identify themselves if they stayed. My godmother said she was leaving...this woman has a phobia of driving, when she said that, I loaded up my car showered and packed and was gone within an hour, my house has over $100k in damage from that storm and the insurance refused to pay, we're in court now because of it.

​@@peryoleWhat was the ins co reason for refusing?

@@hjones3888 they augured no one was living in my house, it's the only reason in the contract that they could deny a claim. I had tenants that had moved out by the time they came out.. it took them 2 months to come out. Unfortunately the tenants wouldn't move out and I couldn't have the liability of them being there with a collapsing ceiling so I had to evict them. I gave the eviction documents to my lawyer to prove occupancy, I had the house cleaned up after tenants left. I also didn't realize I had rental loss coverage and wouldn't have noticed had they just paid the claim. Their greed is what made me read the contract and made me realize how much they actually owed, they now owe me $1400/month for every month the house isn't rented...

Florida is a great red state 🇺🇸

Ok sir. But that wasn't helpful​@@chuckxu5910

@@nannerz1994 I wrote on my arm how I think America is totally f d up.

Yea I have lived here over 30 years and that statement was pure theatre from a guy with a big ego.

Go where? Many average American have no money at the end of the month… no money for fuel to get away and no money for a hotel no money for food. Ride it out is the only option for many people.

Thank you for your service

In the navy you can sail the 7 seas in the navy you can put your mind at ease in the navy in the navy 😅 Village people 1979

So just, Florida.

Florida is not the smartest place to decide to be homeless. JS

@@liiammiller7881 You'd be surprised.

Choo Choo!

@@HappyHarryHardon lol that's what everyone thinks of when they hear the name it's also the sight of 5 major civil war battle

I’m stunned with your intellectual fortitude. You are a testament to humanity.

Nah. I was able to go to work and make money all through 2020.

Completely disgusting. Lefties always make it about politics even when people are losing everything. You have no shame.

Can’t your god see what’s going on? Will prayers stop this? Might want to tell the meteorological dept then.

Don't make this political. He didn't make this happen. Lefties are so sick. People are losing everything and all you can do is spew political BS

Lmaooooooooooo y'all know DAMN well democrat leaders have shown how unorganized they are 😂

Near Tampa here. Electric came back on. I haven't been out, but a few hours ago, it sounded like the end of the world out there

So this is fake news to you then? 🙄

That’s what I thought until 11 pm when my house started flooding out of nowhere

Just like all the wildfires in California
