how are you guys holding up? its flooding from Joshua creek is somewhat hard to reach yall.... I think only US 17 is open from Punta Gorda to reach Arcadia. hadn't heard of SR 31 opening there.

My parents havent been able to reach the home near 80th and oak hill. The river is so flooded and theres no way in to be able to check the home and tend to it. Its so devestating

wow that's a beautiful town. didn't know you had a river nearby... ok looking at it via google earth. but you have elevation in that town well above that river so doubt you'll have flooding issues there. I'm around 20' above MSL but no rivers (I'm in PBC) and we have no issues with rain here no matter how much we get. choose wisely WHERE you live in FL many places are just not safe but almost all of them are along the coast or on these barrier islands. far as I'm concerned only stupid people live there.

No rebu8lding. I have asked the government to stop putting money in dangerous places. I live in Florida but I have a class 5 house up higher than the others. No way I'm paying to rebuild houses in a danger zone. If mine goes, I take the money and build in the Ga. mountains.

Sorry to hear about your dad. May he RIP.

I am affected. I am annoyed and bored by all the white privilege retirees that ruined this country that are getting sympathies for CHOOSING to live in hurricane alley year after year

@@USMCCombatVet4TastyCrayons Rational people are really tired of hearing the phrase "white privilege".

@@toneloc7910 white privilege? White privilege, huh? "Rational" people. "Rational" people know that "white privilege merely describes a variety of entitlements and opportunities INHERENT on a system both ANECDOTALLY and STATISTICALLY proven to provide greater advantages to the majority than minorities. In fact, you could just as easily use the term Japanese Privilege, if you are living in Okinawa or some other part of Japan. It is merely a term for a group of social/ sociological phenomenon - some bad, some neutral. "Rational" people don't get so easily threatened (defensive) about such REALITIES merely being thrown out there to reveal the "rational" peasant stock (like yourself). I mean, seriously, I have more trouble FISHING than I do baiting YOUR kind to pop up and make dumb comments to let me know who to flag as anything BUT "rational." No, what you are is selfish and motivated by self-serving biases, at best, or a raging bigot and uneducated DENIER of the historical (and present-day) facts of the western socioeconomic disparities - most of which are remnants of DECADES of laws and policies (and BEHAVIORAL CULTURE) CREATED to either deny minorities access (to loans, housing, legal protections, marital rights, etc.) or simply afford unjust advantages to the majority caste. In fact, "white privilege" in and of itself isn't even evil or malicious, it is just the phenomenon that has come from the socioeconomic history and the resulting cultures of a complicated western world. I am sorry you, clearly, take it so personal though. Sounds like a YOU problem. Maybe see a therapist to resolve your conflicted lifestyle and choices? Or, perhaps, see a doctor about a lobotomy for that pesky conscience that acted up when it read "white privilege." I mean, why else would a "rational" person get so butthurt by a "rational" phenomenon - unless the 💩-ty side of your character was having trouble silencing the moral side that you keep locked up and gagged in a basement in the back of your withered and rotting soul? Xoxo WHITE PRIVILEGE

It Keeps America's fraud and corruption machine running smoothly

You'd think people would learn

@@kroto7451 learn what?

@@misch2k not to build on a swamp.

It won't happen. They are in utter and total denial of reality.

It doesn't sound hurtful, just wrong. The sea level has been rising since the last ice age 11k years ago. This is evident in the geological record, if you look especially at the natural history of the Florida coastline (it's a good example). Sea level rise is actually slowing down. In all the many years I've lived by the sea, there has been no change. It's not going to get much higher than this before it begins a cyclical retreat.

@@themuse11 What sea level does where you live bears no relation to anything. Sea level change is different all over the world. It is not slowing down and there is no evidence to support that assertion. Let's face reality about American "culture". Once upon a time, a Democrat made a movie about carbon in the atmosphere and its effects, and ever since that moment , half of this god damned country has been behind a wall of denial because they are too STUPID to understand the simplest scientific principal. And one more thing... like covid, if one cannot grasp the simplest parts of statistics, you will never understand what' going on.

@@themuse11 Could you cite a source for the decrease in sea level rise near Florida? I was not able to find a source myself but maybe you have one. Yes sea level rise has increased since the last glacial maximum, and will still continue with the metling of glaciers, ice sheets, and thermal expansion. The problem isn't even the sea level rise. It is that the warmer sea water of the gulf feeding Hurricanes a lot and making them gain intensity rather quickly. The storm surges from these hurricanes are literally going to keep tearing the western coast of Florida year after year. Natural negative feedbacks of the ocean wont kick in for thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. That is why my comment suggests that Florida must rethink what they will do with these areas to see if it is safe/ worth it for people to keep rebuilding in these most impacted areas.

Should we stop building where there are blizzards and tornadoes? How about earthquakes and typhoons? Seems like would be a big amount of earth we'd leave uninhabited. Where all these people gonna go?

that's because Andrew was really moving and it was tiny. you had to right under the eyewall to get wiped by Andrew.

No cure for stupid... they should have left when ordered to and not come back until allowed to. Lack of common sense to live there in the 1st place... alligator tears for thinking it would never happen to me???
