  1. They should no longer be referred to as barrier islands. They are not a barrier. All the mangroves are gone, and they have been overbuilt. They are no longer a barrier unless you count human beings and their belongings as a barrier.

  2. Not to worry all those people who are “forced” to live near the gorgeous warm sandy beaches with lovely sunsets will get bailed out again and again by our tax dollars, government handouts and cash donations from dummy’s up north. They don’t have a thing to worry about.

  3. The Speedway quickly pictured in the video… is it across from a large public beach access parking lot? The next building to the left of the Speedway is where we just stayed through AirBnB. 😢 Is it still there? We loved it, and loved our first time vacationing within your community, Madeira Beach. I would love to come help the clean up effort but am now back in school and I live in Southern Indiana. Godspeed to those of you who lost so much, especially loved ones, for they cannot be replaced. 😢 Heartbreaking to see.
    I will be praying for you and all the communities affected by Helene. The Hoosier State is thinking about you!! ❤

  4. Trump Project 2025 Proposes Eliminating Aid for Families and Businesses Rebuilding After Storms.

    BIDEN JUST APPROVED $1 BILLION IN EMERGENCY RELIEF FUNDS TO FLORIDA ON THE DAY THE HURRICANE HIT.
    TRUMP STATED HE WOULD WITHHOLD RELIEF FUNDS FOR CALIFORNIA WILD FIRES BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LIKE GOVERNOR NEWSOM.
    As an independent, this matters to me.

  5. The Tampa Bay region has dodged bullet, after bullet, after bullet for 103 years since the last damaging hurricane! The year 1921 was the last time a major hurricane impacted Tampa Bay to this magnitude. For 103 years the Bay Area has dodged dozens of hurricanes. Well now the lucky streak is over, and the bill has come due!

  8. My mom was at one of those condos when the storm hit. I'm grateful she's okay.
    Also glad to hear that Jasper the cat is okay. It's shocking to see the destruction to such a beautiful place!
