Those aren't houses those are mobile homes they weren't made to withstand anything like this of course they're going to be damaged nobody expected them not to be

This is horrible and heartbreaking. Very scary situation and incredibly sad. R.I.P to all the people that lost their lives.😭😭❤❤❤

[markAD]

Gee something tragic happens and it’s disproportionately the poor and elderly who suffer. Go figure 😔

I'm in Venice and we were flooded in our neighborhood, I have a tree stuck in my roof and extensive flood damage inside my home, I'm without 3 major appliances now plus my car won't even start correctly, it sputters and I'm hoping the engine wasn't damaged by all the water.. It has been an awful experience trying to get help! Media has been focused on fort Myers, Orlando, st. Pete -Tampa. It hit or missed ppl.

This is very sad but, let's not forget hurricane 🌀 Katrina was responsible for killing over 1, 800 souls and victims are still trying to rebuild their lives... 🙏 Go out to the families of this great loss.

I don’t think that storm surge on Ft. Myers Beach and Sanibel was survivable! The water was so high, and was moving with so much force and speed that I don’t think you could have survived it, unless you fled to higher ground or a higher building. Evidently many people didn’t survive that surge. To be brutally honest it’s a stupid and foolish way to die by riding out a major hurricane on a barrier island!

How many are still unaccounted for in Florida?

And then there are the 200 other homes in area not touched, like the few behind the reporter. Weather is not a tamed beast nor will it be.

OH MY GOD! THAT'S AWFUL!

2022 is getting EVEN WORSE! And 2023 is becoming INCREASINGLY concerning

I’m working these types of homes this week. Most of those do not have home insurance. The lucky ones are covering their roof with tarp and it’s crazy because no one wants to help them with all the price gouging. It’s really though especially when most mobile homes are 55+ communities. These people mostly moved from out of state and don’t have young family members here. I say that because I have been here for days helping and it is so sad

[TinkletitsMcGee]

The audio in this is very inconsistent

[cecimc]

And now there's 2 more storms gathering strength in the Atlantic. :/

[johndoe-xyxq]

Thats not bad. They surely had a television, plenty of time to evacuate. Even if you have to walk out of there before the storm hit. People should have common sense to get out.

[jessicahinds]

It is harvest season!! Names are being called in heaven!!!

[aqeelaansari]

Only some house have been damaged and their are making a fuss about it

[guestuser]

Wonder if they checked all of those Mobil homes?

[NicKennelty]

Survived it. We are south of Venice where it hit even harder. Most of venice survived our town was slammed.

[susangregory]

What about the inmates in the correctional facility & the kids in the juvenile detention facility? They get evaluated?, or left to die?

[pascalisclaudius]

Provide more federal assistance to affected inhabitants.

[millennialmongoose]

Back to normal? Isn't this like the beginning of hurricane season? Are they thinking this is the last time it gets hit by a storm?
