It was exactly the way he said it was. Bodies floating down the streets in and out of the corner stores. Eventually people who were able to keep their boats safe, started boating through the streets to find survivors and supplies that were still usable. It did get ugly as well. People tend to lose their civilization in situations like that.

Eve and her husband. Well Sir if you wanted a “happy” family maybe you shouldn’t have given in to your desires. You are the reason your family isn’t happy. Then you wanna forget about Silvia like yesterday trash. Shame on you. Y’all should have called the police of that ramming of the car even happened. You gonna tell me that NO ONE noticed y’all ramming each other. I highly doubt that.

[@matildatofftin3444]

Same thoughs here. If that story is true, horrible people. And they should have called the cops when she started to harass them! So much for ”doing everything to keep out family safe”. As far as I am concerned that husband and wife belong together, awful people. I may not be religious But I belive in karma.

[@missdawna]

It's funny how the husband expected to have a happy family after he cheated on his wife and his wife is too stupid to forgive him and after ramming the car of Sylvia. How could he expect a happy family after all of that. Sick. Him and his wife.

The one about the KZbinr was the biggest eye roll. I know of more than one "beautyTubere" with facial scars.

Hearing about Katrina hits hard. I was in 2nd when it happened. I never lived down there as I live way in northern Louisiana. New Orleans is still in shambles. So many people where ripped off by insurance companies and the likes. They really only fixed up the tourist areas

[@gachaluna2708]

Yeah remember all of that too where I live in Texas we were the only ones that were willing to accept the people that we're still in the super dome able to be saved. No other state around would accept the people. Texas accepted them with open arms and most of them stayed here they didn't go back home. Sadly and please don't think badly of me for this I'm just being honest and you can look up the statistics within a year of doing that the crime rate had gone up over 100% perit's sad because we opened our arms and brought them in and took care of them and help them win no other state or even the government would then they went crazy and just started doing a lot of messed up c*** not all of course I know that But enough to wear the crime rate went up over 100 person and that's you gotta admit a lot it was a really horrible situation all the way around for everyone

Alligator Gar will be one of those lost species because of the idiots in the bow fishing story. I'm an advocate for hunting and fishing, but going out and taking out a species that takes over 100 years to get that big because IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY BRO! is stupid and irresponsible. The dude didn't need to lose his foot over the incident, but come on, have a little respect for nature.

[@travisn346]

I used to catch them with a rod and reel when I was a kid in Florida. They're very finicky about bait. I always released them.

[@AB-un4io]

I agree with everything you’ve written except for your mention that the guy didn’t deserve to lose a foot. I think he absolutely deserved it and I hope he’s aware that it could’ve much worse. Leave these threatened fish alone!! If you insist on catching them for sport then do the right thing and put them back in the water like a true sportsman. Even that is questionable due to the fact that the animal has put up a valiant but exhausting fight. The person handling the fishing pole knows how exhausted they are…think of the fish. I’m left wondering if all the fish put back survive after such exertion. These animals need to be left alone so they can, hopefully, make a comeback. Fu@k that dumbass and his foot. He had it coming!! Never take Mother Nature for granted. Always be respectful of her.

[@melissamoonchild9216]

agreed! 🐊

[@tarabytez]

@JuJuBee please look up alligator gar, they are very different from the American alligator. The alligator gar are an amazing species of fish that can grow to amazing sizes. But humans have destroyed their habitats and hunted them to almost extinction. Sorry if I'm repeating myself, the loss of our amazing species for stupid reasons makes me angry and sad.

I'm listening now... it's funny when you end up feeling like you know a person, maybe it's the strangely intimate nature of the night's darkness, being in the vulnerable state of sleep, or maybe the sheer length of time I've been a fan.. and I hope this doesn't sound weird lol I just wanted you to know that the perceivably insignificant act of having this channel has really helped connect people who live in a world of stress, loneliness and who knows what..

The story about “Crowley” is totally fabricated. Nowhere in South Louisiana has basements. At all. The whole state is basically at sea level and parts of it (like in New Orleans) are actually below sea level. You couldn’t dig a basement bc it would literally be in water. But fun story anyway.

The sirens in The Purge are air raid sirens That sound has been around for decades They are still used in some places to indicate crisis situations They actually used the air raid siren, where I used to live in upstate NY, as the fire station’s alarm I lived down the street Needless to say, I had some anxiety-filled nights when I first moved there

[@mikebond6328]

When I was a kid many small towns would use the siren to warn of bad weather. Specifically tornadoes, or hurricanes. The reason the sound is so terrifying is because most people understood that if you were hearing the siren it was already too late to do anything about it.

I know this came out a few days or a week ago, but I'm was saving it for my bedtime on a weekend. I have a sleep-mask with headphones in it, and I sleep so good. I credit you with my good sleep tonight!!! 😘😘

[@kimmandley9356]

Whoa...that story about Katrina was tremendous! Both grievous & touching! That right there is the mark of a "hero husband," as far as I am concerned. Bravo, sir for doing what it took to get your wife and child to safety! I'm not AT ALL taking away from them the bravery and sheer will it took on their part(s) but you held it together...if I had witnessed that man in the water, I would have been inconsolable.

Thank you for your amazing story telling Joel, you are the best ❤

I aint know you did comedy in this 😂😂😂 brief break in the "rainy season" ha in Laffy? Ya funny

My friend told me today she didn’t want to be friends with me anymore with no reason given. Thank you, i just want to chill and forget for a while.

Something you’ll realize growing up is that let them go. If you don’t want you to be in your life now think about how long they felt like that before hand. Focus on yourself not others, at the end of the day in reality you’re the only person you’ll have forever

@@g59_alex87 “Focus on yourself, not others, at the end of the day in reality you’re the only person you’ll have forever.” Good way to encourage selfish behavior buddy. That kind of mindset is part of the reason why so many people are selfish nowadays. You don’t deserve to have anyone in your life, you deserve to be alone for encouraging shitty behavior. Find better things to focus your life on other than encouraging selfishness, and learn to care about others.

Saw the title… too darn real 😭😭. Keep it up I love the stories, they always help me sleep when I couldn’t otherwise.

ah yes nothing like a lengthy let’s read to help w my social anxiety at work 💛 Thanks Joel !

[@somerking7040]

Omg ,the 1st story ! I'm Soo sorry this happened to anyone! If I would've been rich or anything I wouldve done what ever I could ,but during Katrina I was a very young single mother of 3 ,wrking minimum wage. I swear tho ,I'm so sorry anyone had to go thru that:( Y'all were done pretty damn dirty ,I agree!!)

I love your voice it's amazingly soothing. And your stories are really good, I'm never disappointed no matter how many I listen to. Don't ever stop doing what you obviously do with such flare. 🥰🇬🇧

I would totally watch a KZbin with a scar across their face, it adds character.

[@robbieberg9452]

Ya but she sounded entitled saying her mom will have to be her maid

[@Kaseyrulesthefrogs]

I love this KZbin channel so much helps through work and chores ❤️✨😢😊

[@shyshy7292]

@1:31:00 I like how OP says they can't afford a maid now so they "guess" their "mom will have to do it"... 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ Uuuummm noooo, OP should get off that huge stack of entitlement and be their OWN maid! OP is obviously an adult that either let doing KZbin get to their head OR they've been entitled their whole life and don't care to grow up... B

I cried my eyes out listening to the story of the flood. I was trapped after Irma, by flood waters, but it was nothing like this. And it was bad. The government was no where to be found.
