Maybe that woman who refused the assistance was put off by the camera crew in her face. Believe it or not, there are still people in this day and age who value their privacy.
She also probably heard about the 'shelters' they took people to in katrina, with the rapes and theft. She also had a rifle and didn't want to be disarmed, which they for sure would have done.
@@natashaandspencer I wish I was in Florida helping but I’m in Seattle born and raised since 1990 Only politics will make me move Luckily gun laws are better than Texas here No ccw no registration for my guns, I open carry .45 24/7 since 2010(age 20), I am au(tis)tic and refuse to be a victim for anyone or anything!!!
The people who are declining rescue are in shock or praying that the water recedes quickly and when they snap out of it and realize thats not happening it’s a lot. This has been a very traumatic situation.
I live in florida and we only got a little bit from ian. Our glass door shattered and ripped off and our yard was sopping. Its hard to feel relieved its a guilty feelibg for me. Because everytime i see this my heart breaks. I just moved here with my husband 3 years ago for work. I love it but i also do not like living close to water. Ive always feared the ocean. Ive been praying and praying for all of those people
Some of the most Florida shit I have seen. Lol Thank goodness I was in northern Florida when this happened cuz I probably wouldnt have been able to leave. Everybody home is out of power.
There are many that just couldn’t afford to leave!!!! If I lived there I would have had to stay…because I can barely afford to eat, gas for work….much less my utilities! Praying for these poor people ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Plus that the hurricane changed direction so many people spent money on batteries, flashlights, quick foods and water thinking they'd be staying in place. Once that money is spent many can't afford the cost of travel and lodging.
Hope no vibrio cases. I would be afraid to be walking around in that water with alligators and snakes. Anyone rescuing animals? Prayers for all the victims, what a disaster!
A news reporter posted a photo of a kitten on a bench yesterday with waters just below the bench, he could have saved the kitten. Instead he did NOT and LIED ABOUT IT, now two of his crappy coworkers are lying to cover his a$$. He posted a video a little bit after and the bench and entire area was flooded. He let it die. Dylan Federico from Wink news. Crappy people. Brian Entin from news nation saved a dog, a cat and a bunny rabbit from a boat, and another guy (don’t know his name, his girlfriend posted the video on Twitter) saved a cat who was hiding from the storm surge on an air conditioner
Exactly!!! I laughed when the reporter was in disbelief that she declined rescue. Lady she had beer in her cooler and a shotgun in her hand. She dont need any help. 😂
I have lived around Orlando 41 years and Never seen this much rain before ... I had 6 inches of water come into my Fl room... From noon Yesterday till noon today i had 11 inches in my rain gauge and that's not counting what blew sideways. I'm 25 miles east of Orlando everywhere around me looked like it is setting in a lake ....
@@carlossebastiannecroticgot7232 Oh wow a Fruitcake Tell me one thing ... Was The Dust Bowl back in the 30's because of YOUR climate change ? Oh ye it had to be there were a billion cars on the road polluting the air .... Yup your a FRUITCAKE !!!
Some of these people have nowhere to go andd no money to pay for anything, sop they are trying to get by with what they have and the fact that they are in shock. Have some pity and pray,
These people just went through a traumatic experience. I have family members who went through a traumatic experience with Hurricane Harvey. Still to this day when it rains hard, they have a difficult time. It's sad that people have to stay because they just can't afford the expense of evacuation.
You know how upset I would be if I’m trying to get out of my flooded neighborhood and I have a news crew pointing a camera at me? Leave these people alone.
Fr!!! These people are so rude. And these poor rescuers look FED UP. “I had to say wait wait let me get the mic” 💀 like no ma’am these people need help NOW.
This may not be Normal but i have to give huge praise to Floridians who know how to survive these storms because if it was in my State we all would be Panicking !! Prayers Florida 🙏🙏🙏
Luckily I live in Central Florida and usually only have to deal with power outages and a tree or 2. But this hit us pretty bad and we were already overloaded with Water. I expect big trees to continue falling from the saturated ground. I got lucky and plan to donate my generator to someone who needs it.
As someone from Tampa, you can evacuate but that doesn’t save you from the storm. Hurricanes move and change direction FAST. Most of the people that evacuated from Tampa are now stuck in Venice and Orlando bc the storm changed direction and hit there. Anyone who stayed in Tampa is doing fine. It’s a gamble to evacuate from a storm that’s constantly moving.
to all the shitters complaining about people not evacuating in Orlando, we we given a less than 5% chance of flooding right before landfall and weren't issued flood warning until about midnight when we were in the middle of the storm. and also the gators aren't the worst thing in the water, it's the power lines that are more dangerous.
Prayers for ALL of you that are affected. I'm very scared for the elderly that were at home alone & no one knows they're there, coz they won't be able to get out. I'm also scared for the morbidly obese, cos they're not going to be able to physically do what they need to save themselves. The Mamas with small children & babies that, the people who where severely ill & unable to physically save themselves... There's so many more to be worried for, not to mention the pets. Material things can be replaced, yeah it's hard, but they can be. Lives can't be replaced, and floods like this are indiscriminate. They don't care how much money you have, how old/young you are, or if you're immunocompromised. My prayers go out to ALL of you 🤞🏻🙏🏻😢🕯️
True but people need to have a natural disaster savings set aside so they leave. Like a hurricane emergency fund if you live somewhere in Florida or Louisiana because hurricanes season is a yearly thing.
@@beachgirl6565 What if their car is on its last legs and they don't want to break down in bumper to bumper traffic. What if they don't want to leave their pets. We lost power here in Orlando 24 hours BEFORE the storm was scheduled to arrived. Keep in mind people from Tampa were told to evacuate to Orlando.
I just left Orlando, moved back to Baltimore. Omg. I used to hate being called to sleep at the hospital for a hurricane...and often the hurricane turn somewhere...but now , I hope my friends are ok
This does not make her look bad at all. She seems grateful to be rescued. I didn't realize Orlando got it bad until seeing this. Im 1hr north and got lucky I guess.
I was born,raised & still live on Dauphin island in Alabama..this is how we are..a lot of us cant afford to run from every storm we just prepare as best we can & stay to protect what we have worked our whole lives for and to help our neighbors that also cant leave. We are built tough from a young age and literally we are a couple miles and a short fairy ride to ft.Morgan Fl we travel there ALOT so we know Floridians and have a kinship and have lived through so many hurricanes its second nature🤷♀️
Going to shelters is free. This doesn't really apply to Orlando but the West Coast has no excuse. They were made aware, warned, and then begged to leave. They don't just put their own lives in danger but the lives of the first responders too. So selfish.
@@victorialove9104 "Superior and judgemental" for wanting people to evacuate and not put their lives and the lives of first responders in danger? How strange of you.
They don't leave for lots of reasons, mainly a lack of money or pets. It's terribly stressful to be displaced. I've lived there and we had to leave once. Much love to FL!!!
As Floridians we never really take hurricanes seriously because we are so used to it. Hell some of the best parties are hurricane parties 🤣 We know about storm surges but its so crazy to see it to this extent. Prayers for everyone affected by this tragedy.
What's it gonna take for humans to realize they are just human. How's a human gonna fight what's far beyond the scope of their skills, strength, and abilities ? 👨💻⛪🕊
Why is the reporter being so judgmental? They’ve repeatedly said this isn’t normal for this area so clearly people were caught off guard by it. That first lady might have hesitated to leave because of her bad limp. That second lady could’ve gone back to grab some things and did leave earlier, so why are they trash talking while filming her? Reporters lacking in common sense and empathy should stick to reporting the facts, not shaming people.
Thank you for all you do men and women in uniform! So proud of USA 🇺🇸 @Ron De Santis! Learn from this experience! Prayers to all affected by this devastation! Hoping for a full recovery…🙏🙏🙏 People has to accept rescue and help when offered! Don’t walk in the waters, alligators 🐊must be just prying for food!😮
Ian proved that nature has it’s own language, initially the path was also not clear and than the category was also not predicted correctly, just 24 hours before it was forecasted to be at level 4 and that proved to be disastrous for all concerned , very sad situation
I have to say I prayed real hard for it to turn from Pinellas county and Tampa because it could not handle this amount of water since we are so close to the Gulf.
Actually the reports we had here nailed it. 2 days prior they showed it could hit them. Also what the consequences of it turning into land sooner than Tampa. We live in a society that people believe it won't happen to themselves and some of them pay the ultimate price. We were the fortunate part of the coast that was spared. It cost me a week of work and money we didn't have but I would do it over and over again to live here..
@@DA-ji4tf Aripeka is where I live. I totally agree it would have killed 1k plus here because no one we know here was willing to leave. My neighbors thought we were nuts for renting a uhaul when they had it pegged on us.....
ted try over the roofs water levels it's self I had at least 2 feet all across my property only thing above water was my drain field when i moved here i had 160 sq. yrds. of dirt brought in, if i hadn't i would be setting in several feet of water ...
I never realized Orlando would flood like this. But I have not been there in so many years. These might be areas that were not even built up yet when I left Fl over 35 years ago.
Wow, I used to live in Altamonte Springs and I've never seen just rain water that high.. that's nuts! And as far as the waters, I'd be scared to death of gators! We had a resident gator in the pond near our condo, so in all that water I'm sure there's some in there!
Reminds me of the flooding in Houston after Harvey or in NC after Mathew. Inland flooding is always massive. You have to watch out for gators and snakes. Lots of lakes all over central Florida. They probably are leaving now because the residents have run out of food and water.
Watertown, South Dakota had flooding like this in a warming spell, in late winter; then temps plummeted & it became a Froozen flood!! In homes and outbuildings at this depth!
this reporter is irritating me. stop harassing people who may take a little longer to leave. Until you walk in their shoes, live their lives, hush. Many are families who are poor and it isn't as cut and dry as you would like to believe. You are doing a disservice to the guys rescuing and your news station by making such statements.
