Yeah, I wish people would think about that before they decide to drive on flooded roads to their impending doom! This is why the phrase "Turn around! Don't drown!" is repeated so much by meteorologists.

It's unreal what water can do. Amazing. One of the main sources of life but also very very deadly

They were floating UPstream on the incoming storm surge. How do you think they would navigate past this bridge if they were moored upstream of it?

Definition of optimist: Florida boat owner.

BELIVE IT!

Ahhh, it's a flood, in Florida... it happens

Wow

Are you blind?

Totally agree they had ample warnings ....OMG (you cant fix stupid)

@@Whistler326 Are you under the impression that only rich people own boats?

@@Amethyst12thheaven Tying off a boat in a hurricane will almost always result in it getting totaled. If you owned a boat that you cared about enough you would move it either on land or to another dock that is out of the hurricane cone.

Back in the day, we would sail right through the eye. Button the baby down and tie yourself to the mast. Done it many times.

Is that the hatch bridge ?

They obviously weren't secured adequately !

How about devasted LIVES!!!😮

​@@mypeeps333Is it possible in any way that whatever they were moored to has been damaged?!? Never. Have. Children. Jumping to conclusions like that will make them HATE you.

run doomsday coming

Most of them probably live elsewhere and only use it while on vacation or in winter they go south

@michaelspunich7273 Rich people problems (prob well insured and driving up prices for the rest of us)

Well on land could do damage and float in a bad spot or cause injury. Too expensive and no caves to place in rental

The vast majority did. I saw a big deal of boats being pulled before the storm. But not everyone could

Want new one

and welcome to higher and higher ( rediculously high) insurance premiums

Pretty much the south eastern coast. I've lived in NC 30 yrs and this an every yr thing for us. We've been blessed to not have suffered any materialistic losses, just loss of power and water for days or sometimes weeks 😝

But hey, no snow!

It's the first one to hit here in a 120 years? But you say .... every year? How about this? You tell me where to live that has nice warm weather, low taxes, low crime, economic opportunities, good schools, quality health care and zero hurricanes, tornadoes, earth quakes, ...... and I'll move there. Waiting?????

​@@francus722730062 Marietta GA. BEST of all of the above. Google "east Cobb".

Amen ❤

Amen!💔

Thank you God for these wonderful hurricanes, Amen

I pay 4x more for insurance for my old, inexpensive 43' boat as I did for my much more expensive house. The insurance company sets the price and I pay. They made an educated bet based on probability and sometimes they lose... such is their business. The insurance company has so many stipulations that they seldom actually lose. If my boat is damaged in a named storm of any kind my policy coverage is nearly nothing unless it is on land, has proof of being properly prepared and is tied to the ground with hurricane tie-downs. And they want to know the location it will be secured at when they write the policy. I use my boat and travel around so that is always a guess. Don't feel sorry for the insurance companies, feel sorry for the people who lost their dream or the people who had such a boat wash up in their yard and then have to wait for the insurance company to do their job and have it removed. The FL insurance issue is all politics.

@@keithwolfe3976 wow,, thanks for that info

Natural disasters have always been a part of Florida. The problem with Florida insurance is the roof scammers. They file fraudulent lawsuits against insurance companies and the resulting losses and legal fees is what is actually causing increases. Florida actually passed two reform bills but it will take years for it to actually make a difference in premiums

Can you blame them? God has already left that's for sure.

He was on a beer run

We should go back and ask him!

Going to fly his kite

Floridaman knows no fear!

Because he’s a boy and not a snowflake.

It is awesome here! We umm do not all live on the coast. Please tell me a safe state to live in. I have lived in three, and all had their own natural disasters. Those were all surrounded by other states, that also had natural disasters. I have lived through cat five tornadoes, floods and hurricanes and all in different states. Hit by a hurricane in Atlanta Georgia, was hit by a hurricane Dennis as it became a tropical storm driving from Arizona to Ohio. So where is a safe state?

I am from WASHINGTON INDIANA we are in agreement with you over these previous people of Florida in JESUS MIGHTY NAME

It's really not heartbreaking though. At this point, it's wilful ignorance. They need to move.

@@aftersexhighfives You said it’s……willful ignorance! It is not, but it is…ignorance on your part!! It is not that easy…..but obviously it’s very easy for you to say that!! A big majority are born and raised there. Families there, jobs there, they own their homes, children in school. It takes a lot of money to relocate. Most people do not have those types of funds to be able to just pick up and move to another area. The list is endless of why it is not easy to move!! People stationed with the military in those areas, they have no choice. Use your head, at least have compassion.

@@aftersexhighfivesI wouldn’t sign my real name either to a comment like yours, troll.

@@aftersexhighfives To move out of states costs thousands, cost of a new house, moving trucks, hotels, food, gas and incidentals. Most people do not have that kind of money. Florida is not a state people are moving from! It has gained almost one million people in the last two years. Not everyone lives on the coast here.

You forgot to add "Americans"

Then you were in a very lovely house on Longboat Key! It’s beautiful there!

I love Florida but for these reasons I wouldn't want to live here. Way to many hurricanes living near water.

@@lawngnome777 yeah right, she feel so strong, so generous, so better than anyone else for typing this. 100s of thousands with their: (all warmongers) Pray God ... I bet her life isn't that great.

Funny. You’re going to pray to god to help the people he sent a hurricane to? Makes sense.

Thankyou for your Prayers, and may God Bless You and your Family and keep you safe.

@@aw3752 This idiot blaming God.

​@@aw3752 A hurricane is the Earth's air conditioning. "By design". God gives people good sense. Then there is the devil.... ..

Especially on Maui ...

@oscar We The People thank you

When a storm surge happens and saltwater inundates those areas, the salt left behind often kills the trees. They're alive now, but not for long.

@@IOWNOwell the globalist will be happy.

prayers lol, thanks for doing nothing

​@@IOWNO Our pines and oaks are actually adapted to being tolerant of elevated salt levels for a brief time. They'll be fine, especially if the inundated area gets some good rain after this.

Two feet high and risin'

High tide is yet to come at Cedar Keysand surge is still ongoing today.

Tide surge was said was going as high as 15 ft. dont know if its done rising.

​@@d.faulkner8210Got to ten and a half feet in Cedar Key..

Hurricanes been happening forever! People are stupid for having expensive materialistic items in these areas. Time to stop FEMA insurance subsidies.

​@@DefundTheMasonswtf lol

@@DefundTheMasons not saying it's not used but if you think nature isn't messed up you're just dumb af

​@@DefundTheMasonsThis was a hurricane..

lmao this dude has a PhD in conspiracy nutjob theory@@DefundTheMasons

And it's going the wrong way!

@@keithwolfe3976 I heard that mentioned also. Stay safe.

Why pray for them? THEY MADE THE CHOICE TO LIVE IN FL!

@@karengerace7506 I see people still do know know compassion for others yet!

Thank you God for these wonderful hurricanes, Amen

Are you saying the hurricanes have no mercy, or are you accusing the entity which controls the hurricanes of mercilessness? Asking for my Florida based Bible class.

​@@karengerace7506Just wow...😔

Where? That storm can go anywhere.

The storm was moving at 16 mph and it would be a fast sailboat to do better than 10 mph. And only a mega-yacht or destroyer would stand a chance out in the open in those storm tossed seas.

There's nowhere to escape by boat when the hurricane is in the gulf. Sailboats are slow, and this came up in less than a week. Even on the atlantic side, those boats are too small to sail into the ocean.

It's perfectly normal. Don't believe those commie fascist global warmer fake news leftists.

God's Wrath

Florida is done. Better get out while you can. It's all going under water within decade. That state will be under the sea.

@crand20033 ....Huyyyy don't say that lol

​@@crand20033 Are you God? Do you have inside information that nobody else has? That's what they said 40 years ago about California. Guess what, it's still here

Just needs scooba gear!

Still devastating, pets, animal,dirty yucky seawater coming,yes one can rebuild but can’t rebuild life

Duh.

Ive been in a storm surge like this on a yacht. Up all night slacking the ropes off to keep it tethered but not have them snap as there WAS a bridge 300 yards away like this

@@emiliogomez2623 And SO rude and immature of you. Typo, or non american speaker, are two possibilities.

Boats are always better underway out at sea than to be moored up at a pier during a major storm like this. Any Navy or Coast Guard base, you’ll see all vessels get underway prior to the storm arrival.

Advance preparation should be implemented by all owners.

Thank you

dunno but thats going to cost ALOT of MONEY TO REPLACE!!!!!

Nowhere to go. You have to take care of family first. The boat can be replaced

most don't have trailers, and they're not fast enough to get out of the way. Mooring them with the anchor and chain is the smart way though. See that red and white boat? still has its mast.

Magnet fishing lol; that must have been dreamed up by people too poor to actually fish?

SENDING PRAYERS TO VIRGINIA BEACH!

The mostly scenario is one came loose and it hit several other boats and docks, the same way an avalanche can be started with a single rock.

@@keithwolfe3976 Gotcha. I hate that for the owners. This hurricane reminds me of Katrina. Didn’t think it would be this bad. I live in Alabama, and have gone through several. The last one tht hit Alabama was a Cat 1, but stalled in Mobile Bay and became a Cat 2. Storm surge was unbelievable w/ boats everywhere. Flooding occurred on bluffs w/ houses on stilts. It seemed to stick around and dump rain, also. Slow moving. This one seems to be moving faster?

PRAYING FOR YOU TOO!

@@lancestar9217 thanks 👍

@@lancestar9217Praying is just virtue signaling, you have no affect on the outcome.

@@BroNapartay SENDING PRAYERS YOUR YA BRO! KEEP ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THEM!!!!

@@BroNapartay OUTCOME ISN'T IMPORTANT! ...I'm letting everyone know I am a good person. Your not, infact your a bad person for blocking prayers. SENDING MORE PRAYERS NOW! EVEN PRAYERS THAT ARE BLOCK RESISTANT! Now I am an even BETTER Person! Take that BAD PERSON!!!

That storm surge will sweep the boats right out of the boat storage area. They are seldom very high above the water level.

Got there early band moved our fishing boat inland. Don't know about that area yet!

@@lakesidesusan6745I hope all is ok especially since you took precautions

Do you believe in climate change now?

wow!

247 doesn’t sound like a lot. I reckon there are that many on Lake Mede alone.

Ironic you should say that as I noticed one of the boats is “secured” still to its dock but decided to take the dock with it

@@jj_gaming2589😂

It's hard to secure something when it takes the whole dock with it

SECURE YOUR CAR, SECURE YOUR HOUSE. Yea Im a know it all.

Maybe they tried. They didn’t have much time to evacuate either. Hurricanes are brutal. It’s not “if”, but “when” if you live or have a place along the Southern coast.

That is what storm chasers do.

@@renajennings So I see!

If I am not mistaken, some scenes or all were from Crystal River bay. I lived in that county 23 yrs and recongize a few of the marinas and buildings. He DOES have some pair to be out there if so because that whole area is prone to severe flooding during bad storms! The bridge he was parked at looked like 3 sisters springs.

They were snapping.

How are they not caring for their boys? The docks are floating away. Cat 4 hurricane. Not much they can do. Here’s a tip for you. Don’t be a victim of 1k a month. Put the effort and sacrifice in and go make more! Our life is rough and stressful because of our decisions, but our sacrifices also lead to a larger income. Half of which required no formal education. Good luck and find that boat of your dreams some day

They are not all rich folks I can assure you .

That's because they figure it's time for a new one. (boat). Gubmit and insurance pay for new one and money is consequently pumped into the economy to create jobs for undocumented migrants. Gotta love our system.

@@JL-cn6nh facts! AND IF they are rich, that doesn't mean they aren't caring for their boats properly!.. lol, like WTF!

Relax, everyone did their best.

Surreal, do you live under a rock. Hurricanes have been around forever and has caused catastrophic damage so get with the times

We are right in the path here in the Lowcouuntry of South Carolina, see my dogs chilling? When they worry, you know there is a big time pressure change, they always feel it. So for now, I'll have another coffee.❤
