Florida residents begin to recover from the devastating damage left behind from Hurricane Milton

Hurricane Milton left widespread destruction on the Gulf Coast of Florida and more damage to some barrier islands. Storm surges flooded some communities with torrential rains of up to a foot or more rain, leading to hundreds of rescues. Milton also spawned a deadly outbreak of tornadoes, with more than three dozen twisters reported in the state. At least 12 people have been reported killed, including six people at a retirement community because of a tornado. Watch the latest in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.

If you’re rebuilding your house for the fourth time, it’s probably time to consult an engineer or consider a new location.

If you're on the fourth time rebuilding your house, it's time to talk to an engineer, or find somewhere else to rebuild.

I Lived in Florida for 40yrs and never once stayed through a hurricane. When they said evacuate, I was the first one heading out of town.

where i'm from, we experienced a crazy typhoon that caused so much destruction. 3 years later, when everything was starting to go back to normal, an even bigger typhoon once again destroyed everything. i can't even imagine 2 hurricanes within 2 weeks. praying for everybody who is injured, who have passed & those who are left to restart🙏🏽

Rebuilding your home four times. Maybe you should consider rebuilding some where else. Or at least use a different building material other than wood.

A crane to still be up having a weeks notice is insane.

10:12 There is no way I'd be willing to rebuild my home for a 4th time. #TBH, if I were to lose my home once, I'd take it as a sign to move away.

It is a great fortune that Milton moved from cat 5 to 3 and quickly crossed the land of Florida. It could have moved much more slowly while being cat 5.

You work for 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

Why would you stay somewhere that you have to rebuild your house 4 times? Makes 0 sense

[Needglory]

Rebuilding your house 4 times 🏠🏠🏠🏠 😵‍💫

[brendanrichart]

Are you sure you don’t want to wait like a week or two to make sure no other hurricanes are coming before you begin rebuilding?

[bryanwentzel]

Why are my insurance rates going up for people to rebuild on a sand bar

[Lemthepoetofficial]

This is so sad 😢 My heart breaks for Florida! Love from California ❤️

[joe-ghb]

You would think by now they would see that reinforced concrete structures hold up the best.

[cammia]

Why do people keep rebuilding the same houses on the shores of Florida???

[zunoddly]

May all those affected by the storm and flood stay strong and united to overcome the difficulties!

[JM-sjwj]

You have to be completely silly to rebuild 4 times.

What was so different and surprising is that in hurricanes usually the tornadoes are small fast moving usually F1 or F2 but these were like tornadoes you see in the midwest large wedge violent f3's
