I heard US people in hurricane area pay US$15, 000 to 25, 000 insurance premium per year for an average house.

It looks like a tsunami swept through.

With all that people know about this side of the US, they must love their community by staying hurricane after hurricane!

Deadliest in 2 years.
I'd be moving if it's a common occurrence.

Why am I hearing this on an Australian news outlet instead of an American one 🤦‍♀️

Can't get to devastated areas in western North Carolina. Death toll will rise once rescue is able to get access. Bridges, roads and whole towns are gone! Not a word about it on the news.

Theyre just lucky it didnt stick around. Katrina was much worse

If I did live there ℹ would try to pack up if I had stuff left and go to Seattle or Alaska I know no one likes the cold snow, but I mean, what do you do?

🎉sensitive and moving reporting.... well done - says a lot w a little.

What’s so weird is none of this damage is due to the hurricane. The wind wasn’t that strong and not what damaged everything. It barely rained so it wasn’t due to heavy rainfall either.
The ONLY thing that caused all this damage was the increased water levels.
If you look at TGH hospital that was surrounded by flooding. They used water walls and they were completely safe. Florida should invest in these same water walls to prevent this from happening.

"Wondering if this life is worth it." I can't believe this reporter said that. 🙄

America spend your money saving your own people and not killing others

Now sit back, relax, and watch Key Largo with Humphrey Bogart.

The fragility that is evident in so many dwellings in that part of the US is, and always has been, a contributing factor to the subsequent carnage.

Cat 5 building codes. Is there such a thing? Build high

ON AVERAGE, 800 PEOPLE DIE EVERY DAY IN FLORIDA. THE BIGGEST KILLER IS HEART DISEASE
