Vero Beach Devastated by Early Hurricane Milton Flooding & Tornadoes – We Were NOT Prepared!

🌪️ Vero Beach was NOT ready for the fury of Hurricane Milton! 🌧️ What we thought would be a routine hurricane turned into a nightmare with early outer bands bringing torrential rain, catastrophic flooding, and hundreds of tornadoes! In this video, I take you through the chaotic aftermath, showing you the real damage that hit our town—entire neighborhoods underwater, homes destroyed by tornadoes, and unsuspecting families left without insurance coverage. 😱

⚠️ My own family was affected, and I even captured some shocking footage that I’ll share with you. From flooded streets between 8th Street & 12th Street, to the Vero Beach Highlands being ripped apart by a tornado packing 155 mph winds, this storm came much earlier and stronger than anyone expected. Find out why so many of us were caught off guard, and how new construction homes can make all the difference when it comes to hurricane preparedness. 🏡

I came from Central Florida to stay in Palm City. My friend down here has a whole house generator, so I thought it might be a good idea to stay with her, in Palm City. We had tornado alarms going off every ten to fifteen minutes at one point. I've never seen anything like it.

Thank you so much for doing this video, as we were wondering how Vero was affected. We were watching live coverage as the tornadoes developed in Vero, and our hearts sank. 😢 We love Vero and vacation there all the time. Our prayers are with all those affected by this hurricane. Again, thank you for sharing this information and the footage of the damage. 😢

The tornadoes and a flood devastated our neighborhood hours before the hurricane landed. We didn't realize that neighbors' homes were already ripped apart before the actual storm.

Different parts of FL have different elevations. Wonder how high the BFE in new Vero neighborhoods is. Also, some neighborhoods have retention ponds etc. to absorb runoff water. The new homes I see on video in FL are not elevated so I wonder if any of the new neighborhoods are doing that to a significant extent. We have a home in VA & 1st floor is 5' above the street that is well over 20' above sea level. Personally would look for a high BFE neighborhood and an elevated home at a minimum. At a maximum, reinforced concrete homes can be built to withstand even a tornado but that would likely have to be custom.

No matter where you live in Florida get flood insurance. We have a metal roof but when we replaced the soffits on the outside we added strapping to the trusses.

Feel bad for Vero, we love it there and have thought about moving there (I've talked to you on the phone). After the tornados and possibly hurricanes, we have decided to move more towards the Orlando area. We have tornados in Illinois and tbey are no joke. I know every part of Florida gets weather but we would feel more safe more in land

Is Sebastian generally higher elevation than Vero Beach? And does Sebastian flood less than Vero?

We have 140 mph shingles those people had a bad roof job whoever did it.

"Andrew, I absolutely love your content! The way you covered the impact of Hurricane Milton on Vero Beach was both informative and powerful. 🌪 I’ve actually redesigned a thumbnail for this video and shared it via email – please check it out and let me know your feedback!

If you do not mind alligators, snakes, hurricanes, tornados, humidity, etc., then move to Florida.
