I was in a flood once. I moved out of the flood zone soon after. Never going back.

[dpelpal]

I am Russian, the destroyed area looks like normal area in my city. Americans are lucky to live where they do, hurricane or not.

[hamburglar]

My taxes better not go to people who live in flat land right next to the ocean where hurricanes are prevalent. My roads and bridges need to be changed.

[docwillis]

Why even bother rebuilding it’s just going to keep happening.

[marilisa]

Natural disasters are horrible and we are painfully aware of how powerless humans are. Those who have been affected have experienced hell, but we are sending our support from Japan, saying they will definitely recover. Never give up.

[liberatedwoman]

When, if ever, will FEMA say……..”We will pay you to move out of Florida”?

Oard house can't survive in hurricane path

It's either we invest OR get rid of the Electoral College and let us the People of the United States of America choose our own leaders!

[dolphinwatcher]

So much of the flooding footage was not St. Pete Beach. Do better ABC.

[RendaJane]

I wonder what kind of harmful tales Alena Hababa is going to come up with for these traumatized families.
It sounds like Asheville, and she’s come up some crazy stories about us. 😢
Please! The lies make recovery so much harder.

[charlesritter]

I can't believe even ONE PERSON would leave their MILLION DOLLAR BOAT behind during a HURRICANE!
WTF were they thinking?

[Maxrepfitgm]

Then another hurricane will come and the cycle will continue until people get the message...

[johndunn]

As an American that lives a long way from the coast, I'm tired of my taxes being used to build houses in flood zones.

[rareroots]

Same Tales the people themselves are telling

[maxxxxximiliano]

Who's worst Milton or Satanyahu?
😂

[WA_S_S_AW]

Ya think? Sure would be nice for the United States to be able to sell our treasury bonds, the generate the funds needed to recover. But that’s not going to happen now after 1/6.

[AaronWireman]

Bills coming due again soon. Nature just getting started. It sucks i know. I live bill to bill too.
