Hurricane Ian Barrels Ashore In Florida As Category 4 Storm 

God’s blessing was laid upon you.

Everything happens for a reason...guess this reason was saving your life potentially. So glad that happened and you didn't take the job and are safe.

also a good point. but maybe there was something set up for them to call.

I didn't leave and I'm fine. I knew it wouldn't be that bad.

@@hm3drake35 ok for you but how about everyone else who got affected

@@supremekingowl9350 just like moving, it's costs $$$MONEY$$$ to evacuate, and people can't afford it. I don't have the money or a convenient place to stay.

I won’t be surprised if they died. Even if I was homeless I would try to get out

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Do you regret staying?

@@sammyandoliver7522 %@

hoping they get through it alright

Thank you. My wife and I are hunkered down in Jacksonville, FL and not sure what it will be like when we wake up. Please pray for us.

Hi from Orlando. 👋🏻 The winds just started to pickup some force here. Hoping for the best tonight. 👏🏻

I left Tampa for Ohio. I hope everyone stays safe and happy.

@@marcelosantana9311 Wow. Amazing that this hurricane is so large as we also are experiencing wind gusts and some rain. tomorrow will be the worst. Not sure how well I will sleep tonight. I pray you and your family remain safe.

i join you in your hope for your Grandmother.

Praying that your grandma is safe and sound Sarah and everyone else in Florida Sending lots of prayers and love from Trinidad and Tobago 🙏❤🇹🇹🇺🇲

I hope you hear from her and she is safe!🙏

prayers.

❤🙏

Hope everyone is safe i say.

A lot of people around the world have home by the water

Lmao

@Worth Haithcock Good Point. And it is Mother Nature. Surfs up !

Now everyone has ocean front property

Thank you. I'm missing NJ right about now.

Why?

What do you mean why?

@@skelly921 don't worry. DeSantis has it under control.

@@somnuswaltz5586 There are limits to what any human can do even with the resources of Florida.

@@colemin2 why would DeSantis accept a single penny or aid from such a horrible democratic Biden administration? 🤔🖕

❤

Greetings and blessings to you as well. Prayers for the people and animals of Florida. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Are you an imposter from California ? you are a joke

Yeah. I'm in CA. I'll be right there.

Yes, when it affects you, it's a different story.

No it was not cause it was more dense. The storm was expected to go more west around the panama region which would of caused it to weaken cause of the sheer and dry air but it instead went more east into the Tampa Bay area

Lol why don't you look up how many hurricane hunter flights and military flights when through around or over top of the hurricane and get a clue.

The European system had it going East from day one. The US has it going West.. That's why the prediction cone was so huge. But Mother Nature is not something that should be predicted. It will take its own natural route and no person is to blame.

@@ambersykora352 you seem like a happy human.

Why do all of you seem to think I was mad at the meteorologists or making fun of them? The last line in my OP should show I have sympathy for their position.

I know I do too😥

Why feel bad?

Shut up

Feel sorry for all animals and livestock.

I've only been in one in the last quarter century.

I've been in 4 last two was Katrina and ivan

Miami carnival is still on in Miami this weekend

@@joegardner5386 you do know carnival is pagan right? Nothing good about it.

Lost power yet?

Stay safe

I'm in NE FL been raining since I went to work this morning at 6 am

@@lindabradford9591 thank you ma'am

@@MrRay3801 nope. I'm on 2nd story in apartment and water is coming in from under door. But rain just started about two hours ago

Saving a house no matter the condition is not as important as saving his life.

@Timothah Molone my father is not an immigrant, nor was my mother. And if you are referring to the boatload of +20 people who are likely dead…. Sure they were immigrants, they could have been sent back. They didn’t deserve to die.

Impeach Biden first then think about Florida!!!

what does praying accomplish?

Why pray? Prayer has never, ever worked. It never will work.

@@hm3drake35 If it doesn't work for you, fine. Why do you have to ask, it just sounds like more of your unending ignorance. If it helps people just leave it at that.

That's all you got 2 little emote hands?

@@cannonfodder9853 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏, Is that all you have to do is make stupid comment 🤣🤣🤣

It's true

Insurance companies saw this coming, that's why prieums have been going up

i hope it doesn't end that badly. but i am afraid that you're right.

​@@jamesricker3997 homeowners insurance premiums have skyrocketed due to roofing contractors, natural disasters (including hurricanes), and fraud (Florida has a very high amount of insurance fraud). Auto premiums have gone up because the price of vehicles has risen, population increases, and the cost to repair or replace vehicles. Homeowners insurance is almost impossible to write anymore and a large percentage wind up being insurned by Citizens which is a state owned insurance company to insure high risk homes. Over the last few years homeowners insurance companies have been pulling out of Florida or going bankrupt. This was exacerbated by COVID and the fallout of COVID such as hyperinflation. This will put at least a few major insurance companies in serious jeopardy of major losses which will tighten their likely hood of more homeowners being referred to Citizens giving the government a monopoly over homeowners insurance. My fiance is an insurance agent. I do marketing in and around the insurance industry.

Insurance companies and real estate agents know the risks of the Florida Market.

The opposite will happen. Massive government loans start a new real estate boom.

You tell him you have a hurricane over your heads till Friday/ Saturday am. This storm still at a Cat 2 in south central Florida. You all aren’t going anywhere, it’s mandatory hunker in place until okay given. Ask your boss f he’s going to pay for your ticket issued to you if found on the roads. Only medical personnel reporting to hospitals should be on the roads. And most of them were called in to be available before storm hit. Call officials of Duvall County and report it. That’s where Jacksonville is at? Duvall?

They are already pre deplored. Bringing their food 🥘 relief too.

Governor Said they are on the way

Cajun Navy.

Me Either

I AM A SURVIVOR OF KATRINA TO ,,, NEW ORLEANS WAS & STILL IS A DEMOCRAT SHITHOLE ... THE NEW DEMOCRAT MAYOR IS SCREWING THE PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS JUST LIKE THE LAST 2 MAYORS ....

Thanks for praying for people and not trying to find reasons why people deserve it and saying stuff like “I don’t want my tax dollars helping them” Idk why ppl always have to look for a reason to blame others for the way life is.

No way, negative energy is never deserved, especially during hardship.

Agree with ya. I feel all these negative comments should get deleted. I’m not for censorship but ppl get censored for other things so why not for that? Anyway stay kind. 🙂

It's not up to God, it's up to US. WE created climate change and WE have to fix it. Start by electing officials who will actually DO something about (rather than deny it exists and do nothing about it because they get MONEY for doing nothing about it). DEMAND better. If we can't help ourselves, God won't help us. He expects you to help yourself first. SO DO IT in the voting booth. And, by the way, why is God always a MALE???? Such a misogynistic religion.

Amen

Not everyone has the means to uproot to somewhere else.

That's a ridiculous thing to say. Every area has its particular weather threats.

This is a silly comment. Most places in the United States have different weather problems similar to this (tornadoes, earthquakes, snowstorms). At least with hurricanes you can detect it's coming several days in advance and plan accordingly.

The op was in regards to the multi million dollar homes and all the Yankee retirees that move into a location that gets dumped on yearly...reckon that's why the insurance companies stay in business and make like bandits.

...like all of Florida.

these are the same Florida republicans Dancing and Laughing every time California has a fire said god was punishing our state Well he must be doing the same to Florida.

@@markvanderstelt8999 Don't say that.

Don’t forget the candle lit vigil 🤣

It’s not safe, but it’s an awesome sight to see…some people are drawn to it.

They want to experience mother nature in every form. And they like adrenaline

A lot of civilians I know went out today just for fun searching -_-

@@supremekingowl9350 Darwin award winners.

Stay safe Lester and those that stayed. God help us all!! Texas has it share of problems but I do not live by water! Dfw area.

The wind is not you have to worry about in a hurricane, it's the rain once it becomes a tropical storm again. You guys may not get the wind but you may get the rain.

And more frequent.

climate change... cue the triggered Republicans...

And New York is still not underwater like you people promised. How utterly disappointing 😒

@@Le_Dislike_Button and we don't have flying cars yet, either....or hoverboards...or teleporters. such a disappointment

@@Le_Dislike_Button it was duringSandy.

Some has gotten through if you know where to look. I live in Whiskey Creek but am out of state atm. Will try to get home Saturday roads permitting.

Yes. We know it will be horrific. To the south, all shredded. Inland, 20 inches rain expected so they will have water flooding too though they with the pounding that a surge does. It will be a good 36 hrs before storm clears peninsula and mov es north in the Atlantic. Prayers for you all. Biden has fed govt/FEMA ready to go in as soon as the winds come down some.hurricane hunter pilot stated this is worse storm he ever flew in. Remember to donate to Salvation Army, they are usually one of first on scene if disasters and 92% of what gets donated goes directly to emergency relief. They’re known for setting up relief centers in storm areas, providing meals, a dry place, and a dry bed. American Red Cross should be showing up too, 15% of any donation to them is mandated to go to International Red Cross. They have higher overhead always than Salvation Army due to large numbers of offices around US with personnel on staff. I worked nearly 25 yrs in association world.

@@juliewatson2281 very true on your points. DeSantis notified the agencies that they have so far 22 Helicopters, US Coast Guard Dauphin and Blackhawk helos, as well as 9 Army National Guard Heavy Lift Chinook helicopters ready to fly tomorrow pending winds...
