This was a Biblical storm.
Someone’s home had enough of it and left
Yeah you can see the world is flat thanks 🙏
But hasn't desantis outlawed any mention of climate change?
They failed to show during the reporting how this is all due to Donald Trump.
ITS NOT RECORD BREAKING. STOP MAKING UP FACTS!
damn they left the power on? craazy
The state is not asking people to literally take their things and move out of the state permanently. They are just asking that you go out of the state for 2 to 3 days almost like a vacation and then come back when the storm is over. stop staying in the area only to lose your house or worse your life.
You know what they say about people who choose to go through something over and over and over and over and over again and expect a different result ? 🤔
Thanks a lot trump
Horrible.
Floridians: Global warming isn't real.
Global Warming: Oh, yeah?
how many times can we sing the same song about something we have plenty of history with. Its a hurricane. Move or die. The news really is just conditioning.
Oh my God
Florida break records every year lol 😂
what record? no. 20 / 40?????
Going to be alot of black mold in those properties.
A 7 foot surge is epic?
wow
Well dang bro. Stay safe ppl
Hurricanes are a myth like climate change.
Let’s be real it was not anywhere near as bad as they said it was gonna be!
Hey DeSantick “Drill baby Drill”- Climate is weirder than you buddy,
is it just me or is there a record breaking hurricane every 2 years in florida
1:03 Steinhatchee 😭😭😭 Love you all there! I hope everyone was safe. I hope uour beautiful fishing community will be rebuilt quickly. 😣💔😓
Prayers for Florida 🙏 stay safe
I'm in Illinois and it did not occur to me until seeing this that our rainy day is the outskirts of a freaking hurricane. Stay safe folks.
Mann, that's Crazy 😮🙏🏽
dang
womp womp ig
Gods wrath on a true evel nation
This is exaggeration at it's best. I live in Florida, very close to the eye of the storm. It didn't slam into us. It wasn't record-breaking, it was not a cat 4, and it couldn't have possibly been historic. The random wind gusts were a little unsettling, but it barely rained, and I didn't even lose power. Furthermore, if u put small boats in the ocean, it usually won't take a hurricane to wash it ashore. If u live damn there on the dock, of course you're gonna get flooded out. If you drive while tree branches are blowing across the road, your chances of getting into an accident are favorable. This is nothing new or special. Stop being ridiculous.
deSantis should probably have built a wall to stop the hurricane but no hes gonna bitch that california didnt clean the forest enough and have wildfires. He should have stopped the hurricane too. Fucking dumbass now he wants to look concerned. What a cuck.
The poor people of key west,siesta key and fort myer 😞
❤GOD HAVE MERCY❤
Great reporting and images..thx ABC!
Trump just said this was all a hoax
Thoughts and prayers
I’m am praying
