Hurricane Ian one of the strongest to hit the U.S. in decades

This was the most terrifying storm we got over 2 feet of water inside the house and we were lucky to just survive this. Pray for everyone please.

Prayers for the Florida residents and prayers for everyone involved on the islands. I pray my family and friends in Brunswick Georgia get out ok also

What I love most about America...Not one person during this disaster has asked which political party they belong to. If only we could maintain that level of compassion and humanity.

My great grandmother and grandma are down there right now in Englewood, I am so worried for them I want to cry. I just hope everyone in that area will be ok 😢

Goodness!!! Be safe my fellow countrymen in Florida!!
I hope you have gotten to safety.
May the Lord protect you!

I live in Jacksonville and this storm swerved past right above us. We got a lil rain but that was it. We rarely get hit by hurricanes here. Last one I can remember is Irma. Lost power for 3 days but not too much damage on the westside. Dorian came close but we got no rain, it was just a windstorm.

I’m on west coast, eye supposed to hit us soon. Our back yard was flooded out before the storm even made landfall. Pray for us please

Wow devastating hopefully everyone gets the help they need, may god be with you all.

I hope the people and animals were able to make it out alive 💔

We live in Tampa Florida I plead the blood of Jesus over my windows and my doors we have fallen trees around us and branches everywhere my back porch is leaking quite a bit the winds were howling and scary thank God we're okay my dad is in Manatee County and he is in an old folks Community in a old trailer and he made it as well however the strangest thing is our power was working and it never shut off that was weird I've never seen wind like that I couldn't believe it praise God we made it through my prayers go out to all of you suffering through the storm this was a giant nightmare as of now we're still feeling some howling winds and thuds on our roof

Prayers for all affected in the storm, im 80 miles north and still had roof damage

Praying for you all!!!Love from Texas!!!♥️💙

All the people calling for 911, I really pray for all the families, it is horrific😢

I live in Cape Coral. I was lucky and didn’t get flooded. Prayers for all those who are suffering

my heart goes out to all that suffered at this monsters fury.

Here In Polk the storm has been on us for about 6 hours with wind very strong don’t know how much longer this will last but prayers out to everyone please check on your loved ones

My deepest condolences to the family and God bless you all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This was the scariest storm I’ve ever experienced. The wind throw me against my front door wall and knocked the wind out me

As a direct victim of hurricane Ida last year, I certainly feel for the people in west FL right now. We didn't get the water level like Ian. I hate to say it, but the devastating storms are getting more frequent in the Gulf. With the rise in sea level and global warming together, respect for these storms need to increase along with the threat.

Prayers to Florida people 🙏🙏🙏

The part where I live in Florida barely got hit. It was just a bunch of rain and wind. I don't know why they canceled school for the rain. That's literally normal weather for us. But hopefully everyone who got hit is ok.

prayer to all the people that have to go thru this , be safe guys

We live where the hurricane is going to impact us with lots of heavy rain and high winds today and tommorrow and apparently my family does not want to leave so I'm kinda worried and all of the schools shut down. But I know that God will protect me and my family! Stay safe with everyone who is impacted by it! ❤

Hurricane Michael made landfall on the Florida Panhandle as a category 5 storm in October 2018.

The same kinds of powerful storms happening all over the world today within only weeks ago. So were not alone with is kind of mayhem. Many other nations are going through the same and are just beginning rebuilding after storms struck.

How sad. God bless all who were effected.

You are all forgetting Michael. 😔 Anyone in the Panama to Big Bend area can tell you what this was capable of.

I lost my dog today in this hurricane I’m so devastated 😢

My family and I took refuge in our kitchen in our home here in Cape Coral because it was the center most area of our house and being that I have Autism, ADHD and OCD I was checking my front door repetitively hoping the storm surge water was not in our street and I was so thankful to God Almighty that the storm surge water never came to our street our neighborhood.

Wow, I was in the storm but it wasn’t bad should be just the power went out and we had intense rain and even a tropical tornado and now hurricane Idalia made landfall in Florida, and now is in Canada, and we almost got hit by hurricane Idalia but we just got a bit of rain not that much.

Ian sounds like the identical twin of 1917 Maria when it passed through Puerto Rico.Almost the same winds force (150 vs 155 miles per hour), trajectory speed and hurricane size!

Even when this storm is over we will be dealing with the remains and pain for weeks, months and even years to come. This his left another scar on florida for years to come. So many lives altered and ended. Normal life wont be the same again.

If this guy could just tell us the news instead of trying to win a academy award that would be great.

The sad thing is I’ve heard some homeless people had nowhere to go. They just sat in that storm and accepted it, completely depressing.

As a Floridian this is terrifying. This is why I won’t live on or near a coastline.

Hopefully everyone is okay and safe

Being a major downer but I think some people who took this footage might not make it.

Praying for all of the people in Florida.❤🙏

I'm right on the GA FL line literally near Okefenokee Swamp and headwaters of the Suwannee river 2 milea drom the FL line and we are already getting strong gusts here. A lot of people coming up 41 to evacuate but I just have a bad feeling about this storm. Micheal 2as supposed to hit us but turned towards the panhandle last minute. So i know it can turn and change course a bit. Really having a bad feeling but maybe it's worry about my friend in winter park FL,anyone in the comments in or near Orlando FL? If so how is it?

Wtf man🤦🏽‍♂️ I pray for everybody that had to go through this madness… god bless you all

*Paragraph 3 of 6.* _The UN is supporting a design for a new floating city that can house the homeless._ Unlike instances in the past when these futuristic designs have been met with skepticism, the executive director of the _United Nations Human Settlement Programme_ (UN-Habitat), Maimunah Mohd Sharif, said the UN would support and shepherd this project to fruition. "Everybody on the team actually wants to get this built," said Marc Collins, the CEO of _Oceanix,_ a company that builds floating structures. "We're not just theorizing." P

Wow I hope everyone was safe I’m so glad I did not live in Florida at that time

They don't call em "BARRIER ISLANDS" for nothing , sadly people build cheap buildings on them, which are ok, until the "BIG ONE" Hits.
They hould have learned from Hurricane Charley in 04 hit them, to vacate before the storm, anyone there was either a brave storm chaser or a foolish person
Prayers to the hundreds now homeless , and jobless due to the storms rath.
We in Tampa owe you guys once again for the sacrafice keeping the city safe from this fate once more.

Thank you for the coverage I’m shocked

“What I’ve found is when people start talking about things like global warming, they typically use that as a pretext to do a bunch of left-wing things that they would want to do anyways. And so we’re not doing any left-wing stuff,” DeSantis said at a Tuesday news conference.”

Crazy thing is I was in it it's was a category 4 about 155 Mph winds my house roof was destroyed later coast guard came out and loaded us up it was the scariest thing of my life.

One thing that can happen if this keeps going on is Florida being gone because some places from the past sank in the ocean because it flooded so Florida might go away 😢😢😢 but thank god some of us don’t have to go through this bad situation ❤❤🙏🙏

I live in Riverview, South of Tampa and we are all without power. There is debris all over the place. Power went out around 3 in the afternoon.

My family and all people in florida will be safe Inchaallah ya Rabb 🤲🤲🤲🙏🙏🙏

hurricane ian is now in the atlantic ocean and is heading for north carolina and south carolina! Stay safe guys!

I don't know why people sit and wait until the last minute before trying to move to a safe place and expect others to put their lives in danger because they trying to save things

I always wonder where do the wild animals go in a case like this?

Prayers to all in Florida.....

I live in englewood, absolutely devastated… this was a horrible disaster.

Everyone got a warning of this storm before it even came, how could anyone still be there?

😱Meu Deus 🥺

I hope nobody was injured. That is high storm surge. Prayers.

I’m in Cape Coral but not flood zone thankfully but still got a lot of damage

Other than some business which use landlines to connect their credit card machines to banking networks. No one uses a phone anymore that requires a wire to the home. The telephone manholes are now used only for fiber optic cables which are only 1 inch in diameter. All the cables in the telephone vaults are pressurized and waterproof. Fiber optic cables use only 3% of the space in the telephone cable vault's conduits.

😔 It's so sad how bad it's getting every time hurricane hit Florida but The Bible say a lot of things will come to this world things that you can even imagine that it will happen past end days get closer to the world

Florida hasn't encountered a hurricane for five years. Prior to 2016, almost 11 years went by without a single hurricane landfall anywhere in Florida.

Damn, these are sick waves! Surfboard enjoyers probably have blessed season.

As bad as they kept saying this storm was going up be for days . It seems a lot stayed and did not

But still I pray 4 the people in Florida 🙏

My uncle lives in Florida I hope he's okay..

I honestly love this this is God's way of telling these people they are evil

This is terrible, I sincerely hope that it will pass and there will be as few casualties as possible, and the damage will be repaired. But do you ever wonder if this is deserved by nature, by God?? Have you been playing master of the world for a long time?

prayers for everyone in florida

You say your car -- the car you left sitting in a ground level parking lot 50 feet off the beach where a Cat 4 hurricane was forecast to hit -- got flooded? Well that's weird. No way you could have seen that coming.

*1 of 4* Cities can eliminate homeless tent encampments by replacing them with *Homeless Shelter Villages* [HSV] using _Pallet Shelter's_ existing *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV] components. The _Community Room_ sells for $37,000 and serves as a shared laundry room, restaurant, *child daycare center,* and addiction services center. The _Bathroom_ cost $35,000 and the _Services Office_ costs $9,000. So for only $81,000 a city can establish a *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV]. The 10'X10' *Camping Cube Sport Pop Up Tent* that costs only $120 provides protection from the elements; for two people and their belongings.

Respect the earth she will Respect us

This is so sad. 😢

This is insane…😮

we in canada got hit by fiona last week it took a two story apartment out to sea luckly we only lost one person but the power is out for many still

The question is how can you prevent damage to coastal communities by hurricane? What can you do to prepare for the onslaught? What is the impact that you want to deter? You do not have to imagine the damage. You can see it now.

Was terrifying in Wauchula.

I still don’t understand why you’d leave your car there. You literally had days to leave

Damn, imagine sharks swimming through the streets

These are the component to create *Homeless Shelter Villages* [HSV] using _Pallet Shelter's_ existing HSV products: the _Community Room_ sells for $37,000, the _Bathroom_ costs $35,000, and the _Services Office_ costs $9,000. So for only $81,000 a city can establish a HSV. The two person _Shelter 64_ costs $7,000. 100 X $7,000 = $700,000. For $781,000 the city can establish a HSV for 200 residents. For $160 million a city can establish 205 HSVs to shelter 41,000 residents.

The reporters knowingly sacrificed the rentals cars for their expedition.

You know exactly what you get living
In Florida.
This could happen every year.

Hope they purchased the extra insurance on those rental cars considering they just admitted on live television that they parked them in an area that they expected to get flooded.

_The UN is supporting a design for a new floating city that can house the homeless while withstanding a Category 5 hurricane_ What once seemed like the moonshot vision of tech billionaires and idealistic architects could soon become a concrete solution to several of the world's most pressing challenges. At a United Nations roundtable on Wednesday, a group of builders, engineers, and architects debuted a concept for an affordable floating city. Unlike instances in the past when these futuristic designs have been met with skepticism, the executive director of the _United Nations Human Settlement Programme_ (UN-Habitat), Maimunah Mohd Sharif, said the UN would support and shepherd this project to fruition. "Everybody on the team actually wants to get this built," said Marc Collins, the CEO of _Oceanix,_ a company that builds floating structures. "We're not just theorizing."

For Those Who Think It's A Cat 4 So The NOAA Upgraded Hurricane Ian Into A Category 5 Hurricane So The Max Recorded Winds Were 155 Mph The Biggest Diffrence Is That The Noaa Give The Winds 160 mph or 260 Killiometers Whats Confusing Is That In The Noaa Historical Hurricane Tracks Office Center If You Search Ian In Storms It Says That The Caterogy Was 5 But The Max Winds Were 155 So This Proves That Hurricane Ian Had Confusing Winds So I Don't Know What To Say So Bye

So far by the videos it looks GREAT! All the buildings are standing and looking clean! Unless the real survey will star tomorrow or 2 days from now.

God Bless Florida

Gators, snakes and even sharks everywhere.

for sure neighbors are helping, Floridians are like that, we are strong and proud to help our neighbors.

Nature is trying really hard to restore the balance it seems!

God bless America

Lee County authorities said deaths may be in the hundreds. Sad.

Ol Sheps coverage of Katrina catapulted his career to big big bucks.

Wow this was supposed to be Tampa . They got lucky

Prayers for everyone.🙏🙏🙏 But did anyone else notice the crab riding the back of the fridge.

*Paragraph 5 of 5.* *Build and anchor these floating cities for the homeless ON LAND that has already been flooded or will be flooded in the future.* _The UN is supporting a design for a new floating city that can house the homeless while withstanding a Category 5 hurricane_ _Oceanix_ envisions the villages within about a mile of major coastal cities. The platforms could also be towed to safer locations in the event of a disaster. The platforms would be bolstered by Biorock, a material created by exposing underwater minerals to an electric current. This leads to the formation of a limestone coating that's three times harder than concrete, but can still be made to float. The substance becomes stronger with age and can even repair itself as long as it's still exposed to the current. This allows it to withstand harsh weather conditions. "Cities really start and fail by how well they manage water," engineer Bry Sarté told the UN on Wednesday. In a disaster scenario, machine generators could pull air from the atmosphere, condense it into water, and filter it for impurities like metal or bacteria. These machines pull clean drinking water out of thin air, and they might be a solution to the global water crisis.* In addition to homes, the city would feature a spiritual center, cultural center, and communal library, where residents could rent computers and bicycles as well as books. All buildings would be constructed out of sustainable materials like timber and bamboo. They're also designed to be disassembled so that future generations of architects can reconfigure the concept.

It's a hurricane what do you expect GOD BLESS TO ALL

My heart just keeps thanking you and thanking you #Drosaba for all You have done for me,you gave me your words that you could heal any sickness or disease thank you for permanently curing me of my herpes virus you are amazing

It is coming towards me right now 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Excellent reporting

*3 of 4* Those with income pay rent which is 10% of their net income to the *Homeless Shelter Village* [HSV] for their 2 person _Shelter 64;_ and 20% of their net income as rent for the 4 person _Shelter 100._ Their rent money goes to pay for: *childcare for working parents,* and one free meal per day; in the *Community-Room.*
