Why keep building and rebuilding. If you are getting older, why spend senior years rebuilding. What kind of life is that. move to a safer place and stay there. The hurricanes are getting stronger with time. It's part of the environmental decay we are going through. Stay smart.

Lord, help us to help those who have been devastated by this storm. Be with them as they rebuild communities and lives. May there be healing and restoration. 🙏🕊️

Whatever you do, don’t rebuild in a flood plain. Think of it as mother nature’s keep out zone.

I don’t think I could live coast or close to one. Any place can get tornados or fires, which are bad enough.

Exactly what rich men want. For you to move out. High rise condos will be there in 10 years. It happens each time. My aunt was told her lot was too small to rebuild on in Mexico Beach. She owned that home for over 20 years. Local govts will push you out

glad CBS news was finally able to devote some time to this story, but still not touching the Asheville area which is far more damaged than Florida

keep paying those property taxes...
every "County" is going to make billions in Building Permits 👈

TEARS OF SORROW 2024!!
The storms of life come to everyone
There are none who are immune.
Some approach in our later years
While others come too soon.

Helene hit like an atom bomb
Consuming the helpless in its path.
The waters of the deep surged forth
Flooding everything with their wrath.

Conviction is our emotional union
As we weather the storms of Earth.
Thank God for His amazing grace
Which helps us reveal our worth.

Time wipes tears from all faces
Whose hearts are tuned to sorrow.
Those that cry a thousand tears
Shall be blessed by tomorrow.

I am surprised America doesn't develop technology that lowers the Gulf water temperatures in path of hurricanes.

government said they will give the victims 700 dollars each and that should solve all of their current problems.

Living in a hard hit county in the south here.
We got Roku instead of more expensive Dish options. Still have to Pay extra for channels: including LOCAL CH.SO WE COULD'VE HEARD THIS STORM WAS COMING!!!
What's up with money grabbers that we no longer have a feasible system of information to the ordinary people?? I Pay for power, I Pay for equipment then ya NEED ME TO PAY FOR SIMPLE LOCAL NEWS???
WTF?

[isartoraplatz]

Wow and Woe
The First Woe and now
The Second Woe…
When it finally hits
South Florida you
Will see Hi-rises collapsing
And that won’t be a pretty sight because some people will try to stay in and whether the storm as usual ..😢

[LindaLight-esqr]

Hope people report if they survived' so people can use time looking for others So Sick for these People ...❣️

[chrisbrook]

Yeah let's just keep sending money to Ukraine

[smode]

Keaton Beach is built on a marsh....those things meant to be a buffer from hurricanes. I'm sorry you lost your homes but if you choose to rebuild don't ask the rest of us to pay for it.

Climate disruption is here follks. And it is only going to get worse, even if we stop dumping carbon into our precious atmosphere.

[FBI_Informant]

Trump said climate change is good because it would "create more beachfront property" Well, Asheville, ate you happy with the beachfront property today?

[RP-lefp]

Don't rebuild too fast because there are more hurricanes on the way. We would just put in a heavy duty RV pedestal. We would buy a big RV for cheap now. When the storms come, we would be gone.

[gamerpspc]

We are Just visitors. Makes sense why people don’t care about the environment……

Good thing for bootstraps and paper towels! 🤷‍♀️
