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.

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.

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 ❤️🙏🏻❤️

Devastating to watch, but the rescuers are devoted - heroes all!

Lmao at the lady carrying the coolers and big ass gun 😂😂😂

Praying for those brave men !!! Who willing to risk their life to rescue others

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 ....

Praying for Orlando viewing from Jamaica 🇯🇲. ;SAVING LIVES MATTER🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️💪

To all rescuers. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO 🇺🇲

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!

Those guys are heros as far as I'm concerned

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,

This is the worse I’ve ever seen in Orlando …Unbelievable

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.

It is like the news is being produced by 4 th graders

This poor family. I hope everyone is ok

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 🙏🙏🙏

Praise to the Rescue teams!

I'm astounded at the arrogance of this reporter, judging people who stayed and now need help.

Such wonderful people who are helping the rescue efforts

"What's she carrying" Ladies and gents, that's a shotgun on her shoulder. This is Florida.

Hearts 💕 and prayers 🙏 for everyone who experienced and are experiencing this devastation.

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.

Perhaps they're declining the help because they're declining the media publicity.

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

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.

Florida woman waist deep in hurricane water. Do you need help? "Nope!"

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🤷‍♀️

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 🤞🏻🙏🏻😢🕯️

So grateful for the rescuers! We don’t know their situation. Also She may not want to be filmed and on KZfaq……

what about all the alligators and anacondas swimming around?! keep safe everyone!

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!!!

Some people don't have the money to leave

Prayers for Florida 🙏 . Just goes to show we can't stop the Weather .

Done some rescue withswift water rescue group, in Texas. Down around Central Tx. Never seen anything this bad though. Praying 🙏 for Florida.

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.

Most give these guys there props there most be crocodile in the water and these guys are given the lives just to save ppl who didn't want to leave

Thank you for the rescuers. They are selfless heroes.

People who are declining to be rescued are in shock the rescue crews should take the initiative to rescue them anyway.

Thanks RESCUE One! We Love and Appreciate ya'll, ABC, Journalists and all Soooooooh Much! 🕐🏆🫀

Prayer for rescuers and everyone impacted by this hurricane. 🙏 🙏🙏

Is there gators in that water. An people just walking through it??

You guys are the best! Great rescues!

We lived in Fla. Even when there was a daily rain, it came down hard for a short time and had no where to go

Unfortunately not everyone has someplace to go. the lady has a rifle case over her shoulder.

You should have asked Katie WHERE in Orlando she and team are located. SMH

My heart breaks for Cuba, Florida & South Carolina 💔💔💔

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!😮

What street is this located on in orlando

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.

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.

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

Great job guys ! ❤️🙏

It’s so frustrating that people were told to leave and chose not to

Without the retention ponds nearby, the water would be one or two feet higher at this moment.

Some people can’t afford to leave so they try to ride it out. 😢

What about snakes and alligators in the water ?

Because they expect there's others who need the boat more. Plus she most likely didn't want to be on the news.

To all you rescuers thank youI’m in Louisiana went through this before But never as bad!!

Praying for all these Floridians dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Ian 🙏🙏🙏

Maybe these people have no place to go or funds to vacate...great for the Rescue One prepared to do their job!

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.

It’s crazy because all we got was just winds in Okeechobee and soo fsr just power outages but no water whatsoever

Praying for Orlando viewing from Jamaica 🇯🇲. ;SAVING LIVES MATTER️️️ yes!

Prayers 🙏🕊️💗

Thank you for being positive about the rescuers Bless them

Amazing Heroes❤️🙏🏻

Texas sees this all the time When we get a hurricane or a tropical storm. Here when we get that much water it rises higher afterwards.

That lady decline help because she just came outta that house doing free shopping of other people's property

Do you have a crew in ft Myers? I've a family there and haven't been able to contact them .

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.

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!

💔THANK YOU GUYS 👍😪 YOU ARE HEROES💘🍵🍵💘

😢😢😢 I feel so sad 😢😢florida is the most blessed beautiful place to live with this historic event makes me think twice about living close to the beach

Arizona welcomes Floridians. It's warm and dry.

Where is this at in Orlando?

Which área in Orlando is this one?

How much do you charge to help them?

I fear the alligators the most….

Oh wow I'm sorry this happened I have family in Orlando I'm glad to see they both got help

I keep thinking about downed lines, I didn't even consider falling into a fkn manhole. Keeping everyone effected in my thoughts

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!

All I hear about is Orlando. Why? I would love to hear about Lee county, the rescues going on in that area. I have loved ones we still haven't heard from in over 24 hrs. I would love to hear how things are where THE HURRICANE ACTUALLY MADE LANDFALL. Please!

After the storm, many people thought they were safe. It was later that day that the flooding started and folks realized that were no longer safe.

One thing i noted is the lack of maintenance of the water canals in orange county,32809., it's been years since i ever saw county workers cleaning the grass and the bushes on them.. We understand this was a major hurricane with lots of rain..but in preparations for the future Orange county gov. must do an assessment of all the water canals and clean them.

Why.. nvm and what I was going to say has nothing to do with the rescue but everything to do with how katie is reporting

My cousin lives in Tampa and she got the heck out...she couldn't get a flight so she drove north and over to Georgia

I felet so sorry for you people in Florida we are thinking off you 😢 vig hug Carina from sweden❤❤❤❤

What area is this?

So sad i am from the cayman islands i have cousins in tampa they say they are ok i cant imagine what you are going through loss of life and homes destroyed

great report

I wish someone who works at new Smyrna beach utilities can come over to fix our power please 🙏

Where is this at in Orlando.I use to live in Orlando?

Where in Orlando is this?

Pray for Orlando 🙏🏾

"And she denied the help. This is someone who's making it out...with SOMEONE ELSE'S belongings" LOL

Sharks Aligators fish of all kind and even Manatee are on the streets of Florida and they are all terrorized. This is simply Katrina part 2 in Florida. During these huge storms CIVILIZATION BREAKS DOWN. Imagine going out to your driveway to inspect a tree thinking it may fall on your house........and coming across a 12ft alligator on your driveway asking for help. IAN is bad!!! Maybe worse then Katrina

Newscaster riding around in a boat after a 500 year hurricane, just STUNNED, stunned I tell ya, that people are being rescued and victim blaming them for not leaving. Katie needs a new job.

Public shaming...is that working for you?

I've lived In Orlando for 30 years. I've never seen flooding like this here.
