@@nwatson2773 yes but those infrastructure systems has to be checked and improved. In my city there are plants are growing from the drain holes. The system would be good, it's a cast iron lid/frame on the top and a kind of bucket underneath. It's just lifting up the lid and take the bucket out, clean everything and it's good to go
You are absolutely correct and Mike everything south of Okeechobee used to be the Everglades we only have a smidgen of what is left thanks to the greedy developers and corrupt politicians. That fraction of what’s left can’t absorb the higher than normal rainfall.
@@QbnAmCan Also to blame is human overpopulation. It took thousands of years for the population to reach 2 billion. In less than 100, we have added 6 billion more. More and more people only leads to more and more development.
🙄 the Everglades are still the Everglades. There’s no shortage of gators and crocs and boa constrictors. Miami dade is far from the everglades, that’s like comparing Manhattan to what it used to be a Dutch island.
LOL It's not getting worse, its more people moving to a place that they shouldn't!! Soon you'll here radiation is getting worse when on the moon. Natural disasters are ALWAYS HAPPENING. LEARN HISTORY! Too many idiots like you listen to the overblown propaganda and then wonder why INFLATION is getting WORSE.
Imagine wishing death on a population of people because you’re unhinged with your fake politics where both parties are funded by the same group of wealthy donors and corporations.
Yep - rampant mold and many who will not be able to afford remediation. That widespread of damage presents a problem not only for the structural integrity of some homes, but in an overwhelming need for contractors. It will take months for people to get their homes repaired, and in the meantime they have nowhere to go, and it is summer in South Florida. All that water will not only create mold problems but attract insects. You already have a situation were there is a shortage of affordable rentals - so renters be stuck where they are, and homeowners are already having trouble paying the insurance premiums. It is likely those without mortgages in many cases have opted to go without flood insurance, not because they don't realize its importance, but because when they to choose between food and paying for utilites vs. paying insurance premiums, you already know insurance becomes a secondary concern until something happens. I miss my friends, but I am grateful that I left South Florida. It is the playground for the rich only now, and soon there will be nobody to make their $15 lattes, if the service workers have to commute from 2 hours inland, due to the unaffordability of the area.
I’ve lived in a formerly flooded house that flooded again in hurricane Ian. I will say that we had a lot of trouble breathing in there before we replaced a ton of stuff like the air conditioning, bathrooms replaced, etc. I could breathe perfectly fine after the entire house was remediated, gutted out and rebuilt the right way after Ian! We moved though, never doing that again! And if it does happen again I’m gone, I’m completely done. I’ll live with family up north. I can’t do that again. That was so traumatizing. All of this is truly something you just cannot grasp until you go through it yourself.
I feel the worst for those who rent. Landlords do NOT remediate mold after a flood EVER and if they do, it shocks everyone. I’ve lived it first hand. My neighbors next door rent and didn’t get remediated and are now sick (their house did flood and was not remediated previously as well!). I’ve been trying to help them as much as possible & they’re working on buying their own home elsewhere. It’s so sad to see them stuck. 😞
@@CaliSteve169 That is not his job. But, he can show up to assist the local government with the relief efforts. He also can answer to the constituents that he was elected to serve and explain why he vetoed the drainage and stormwater infrastructure project that will help to mitigate this in the future. That is his job.
Hallandale Beach sits at an elevation of only 6 feet above sea level. The underground sewer lines are probably right at sea level. It's not going to take much rain to trigger massive flooding. It is only going to get worse as sea levels are predicted to rise over the next 10 years.
It has been rising for decades. And the rate of increase has been accelerating rapidly the last decade. So buildings built for two decades ago, and approved according to the then given sea level are now in the vulnerable zone. People doesnt seem to realize things are moving at speed in florida, they seem to think the sea level is static. here is a very clear reason why insurance companies are fleeig the state.
My homeowners pulled out of Florida just over a year ago and this year my rates went down, agent told me not worth insuring in this state and many pulling out.
I used to be on those pipe cleaning trucks. When a storm hits certain areas just have those trucks staged and pumps etc instead of after. We all know the bad areas of south florida. Brickell, ft Lauderdale airport area etc. We react instead of being prepared....
Hey, man!!!!😯I remember back in 2010 working for Navarro Group at an Airport ✈️ near a stadium 🏟️. Meeting the former BSO Sheriff👮Nick Navarro was an honor, then years later we had a major hurricane and the whole Airport was flooded. We stayed overnight with the Cops/First Responders at the maintenance building🏢 and then patrolled 🚓 the Area after the Storm.
You blame others? To the next vote you should be a senator as well that everyone can blame on you. It's ridiculous, instead of doing something yourself or help environment organizations who are already working on it
This has happened for millennia, but Miami's grown to the point, the water has no where to go. It's not ocean rise, it's antiquated sewer drainage systems too small to handle even normal rains. This is why in every new apartment complex built in Central Florida, the developer must build large drainage ponds to handle run off from the structures and parking lots.
Why are they complaining, it use to be swamp and everglades long before people decide to build over it. Thats what happens when tou build over an area that use to be swamp and everglades.
Oh goodness, you can say this about every location in the US - I hope you feel so bold when your home suffers because it will. Offer grace and perhaps the same will be given to you.
@@Zelielz1 many of the cities in South Florida are already planning on renovating the infrastructure to model the Netherlands, I know for a fact Pompano Beach is putting a lot of money into it.
@@Zelielz1 True to a point. However, South Florida is tropical, and we get a lot of rain during our monsoon season. This is where the Netherlands differ. Thye don't get anywhere as much rain as South Florida.
Residents living on the ground floor should reconsider moving to another apartment that is above or on the second floor units of a building or apartment complex. The flooding is not going to go anywhere and will continue to hamper anyone living at street level in many of these areas affected by repetitive flooding and rainfall.
Yes. This is supported by facts such as immigration internally in the USA. This is a sewage issue for a small part of south Florida. This was common for any more than an average rain storm in my home town in Ontario, Canada.
Why are they angry???? No one told them to move into such an area, also in those match box kind of houses. Back in Europe, houses are built of concrete, rock and bricks, but first on a solid base, not woods and styrofoam, fake walls, fake roofs, and some other layers that would make it unbearable to live and moldy after each bad weather. Also, to build a house in a certain place you would need many certificates. Basements everywhere, in a muddy soil with no rocks or support. What a bad idea.
Such lack of sympathy and aberrant ignorance. These people had no idea that it was the swamp or flood zone. Developers did, but the people didn’t. Stop being such jerks.
Title of video says “Flooding remains following last week’s historic rainfall.” 😂 Shut up! Nothing “historic” about this. Welcome to Florida! Hurricane Andrew was “historic.” News casters are such sensationalist. What was this storm called btw? Oh, yeah. It wasn’t even a named storm. It’s obviously a slow day in the news room.
Some of ya got no damn humanity in you. I wish these people the best. I can’t imagine dealing with this and having furniture and all kind of things damaged when you are already not “well off”
@@Naomi-xu4hq sounds simple. I just moved. 10,000 cost to move a 3 bed room apartment. That all sounds easy. Add another couple thousands of dollars for miscellaneous things and most Americans can’t afford to move. Specially if they don’t have a job waiting for them BTW I am not affected by this. I just feel for those who are
In some of these recordings it seems some of these people are not being realistic when it comes to floods . We live on a big beautiful swamp…They just pout and then want a quick fix… This has happened over and over yet people are getting mad at Mother Nature. She doesn’t care about how mad 😡 you are. She’s coming whether you like it or not. She’s about to have a party🎉 and you can stay for the party or have a plan B. But please no party poopers…
The weather is being manipulated. Now it's "unprecedented this and unprecedented that. It's what happens when they are allowed to seed the clouds. Can u not see the difference between normal clouds and chem trails??
A friend of mine went to the new Fontainebleau Hotel in the 1950s when it first opened. She told me you couldn't go out at night because of the land crabs and other beasties of the dark. It was a swamp back then and they still came.
people take infrastructure for granted until this happens, and you cant improve it unless the state has the money to do so. so stop giving businesses tax breaks
"Florida Gov. DeSantis signs bill that deletes climate change from state law : NPR. Florida Gov. DeSantis signs bill that deletes climate change from state law Florida Gov.

The water logged apts have to be gutted out due to the mold inside the walls, and beneath the flooring. Without being able to get this up, the mold will spread like gangrene! I doubt if the majority of renters or home owners had ins on their apts or homes?
From Florida, grewup from elem to HS and this was the norm. Our house was surrounded by open land, farms and a NASA Tracking station. This is nothing new. Derp Derp Derp!😊🇺🇸✌🏻🍻
Think about all the toxic mold that will grow in all those places with the heat and humidity. This isn’t going to help the horrible insurance situation in Florida either. What a mess 🫠
With the continued overdevelopment of Florida there’s less and less natural land to absorb water, sun and heat. This is what a concrete jungle looks like.
What do you mean angry of this flooding? Does these people know where they are..? I mean this Florida, right? This flooding is nothing when compared to hurricane
