I'm looking out for "earthquakes in diverse places" (Matthew 24:7, KJV). From the look of things, I'd say the east coast is starting to fall apart!

[@therealvirgoqueen6553]

PRAYERS 🙏🙏🙏

[@joeybarrelwilde]

I want to alert people to a major killer after flooding, high winds, hurricanes, tornadoes, and vehicle wrecks where there are downed power lines. It’s called “Step Potential” when a high voltage power line is on the ground, the ground becomes energized up to 40 feet away, when you walk, or stand on this electrified ground, you are instantly electrocuted. One of the major dangers after the hurricane has passed, is Step Potential during the aftermath, and cleanup process when there is downed power lines. A downed power line carries 7,300 Volts or more with millions of Amps, and sends electricity thru the ground. Even a crane, or industrial equipment touching a overhead power line can pass electricity thru the ground thru the stabilizing jacks on the ground, metal to earth grounding.. Search Step Potential, and watch the videos on KZbin.

[@featheramericangoodeagle]

The first thing people think about who are familiar with electrical energy, is electrocution due to what you have stated. it was the first thing I thought of. Thank you for your informative comment, a rare thing these days...

[@joeybarrelwilde]

Thank u Gary, I know this I watch Swamp People. But I know what I saw on TV Fox 10 station this morning the girl screaming and sure enough there was a gator at her front door. And not a little one either. Also after Hurricane Laura weeks ago people saw Gators way more inland than usual. Thank u for keeping me on my toes.

Prayers for them & their families. My daughter & son in law got hit by Laura 3 weeks ago, they lived in Lake Charles. They evacuated, but went back 6 days later & there was mold growing on everything & water damage in several places. They grabbed what wasn't covered in mold, left & came back to Texas. No power in Lake Charles still. So very sad for them all. I'm praying.

I hope they emptied the fridge.

It's been going on way before they had houses and powerlines.

[@tracybrown4941]

Sadly you are correct, but even more sadly, who can do that? So many people moving to Florida right now thinking it's a great idea. It's not.

[@tracybrown4941]

Yes, I realize this is Alabama.

[@brianbartlett2089]

Some of these houses are very well built while others seem like chop stick construction.

[@carldombek4052]

Many communities in the area requested an exemption from the Southern Building Codes because they were "impoverished" and building to code would be a hardship. Others built to code. I believe that's the difference.

[@mikedougharty4012]

That's what you get when you have a little bit of money and not alot of money

[@robertdunn3960]

@Mannix Mannix Because it gets too cold here in the winter and the salt will deteriorate the mortar anyway. It's just cheaper to build a comfortable house here this way.

[@waynesheigal7833]

Some of the older buildings stand up better than the newer ones. They have denser hardwood framing, which came from old growth forest, (much better than what comes from lumber yards today). They were hammered together with longer nails, and don't have vinyl windows that pop out.

[@millerscorner2]

I'm surprised to see some kind of construction going on that close to the water's edge. I was a water boundary surveyor and it takes a lot to get a permit for doing so. Hmm. It's the DNR line which has boundary posts. Most of those structures that close to the water cannot get insurance within the USA and have to go to Lloyd's of London or the like to get insurance. It's so sad the see the damage done to the little town and I feel so badly for all who have been so affected. My prayers are with them all. Thank you for posting!

[@wetlandweasel]

Aren't power poles suppose to be in a line?

Live on the coast; enjoy storms!

[@dochubbell]

Gulf Shores before the storm was a very pretty tourist destination. I have family who lives in or near this coastal, and visited there before it became so built up. Used to have 20 ft. sand dunes, (with sea grass), and quaint beach bars that were built out over the ocean waves with a deck around it. Locals used to run their dune buggies and old jeeps over the sand dunes at night by moonlight, (as least a few people I knew did). Ah yes, white sand memories.

[@burgermister7580]

We are dealing with forest fires!in the west give us some rain

Thanks for the video

[@MrGTO-ze7vb]

This is what 110 mph winds can do...The storm surge is what destroys the area docks and buildings on the water. They got lucky that is wasn't a Cat 5 at 175mph winds

[@jackmyers6806]

I hope every one is really paying attention to what's happening all across the world god tells about the birth pains that's suppose to take place before he returns and most people have turned away from God so he allows all this to take place pray daily worship daily beg for forgiveness and turn away from sin it's easy

[@tmann153]

We are snowbirds who winter in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. These views of the damage and flooding are so sad to watch. The locals have a huge job ahead of them to remove the damage/junk and then to rebuild. I hope the state and federal government offer them help and money. The insurance coverage isn't enough due to high deductibles and coverage limits. We will be back in January to bring some Yankee money to spend in Alabama. God bless ya'all.

[@tedc3895]

I couldn't decide if the water was still coming in. Or receding. 100 mph over long period is very destructive. Stuff just finally gives under the stress. Shakes loose.

[@janetdoten9908]

Wow!! stay safe and thanks for sharing

[@booseaterrebonne4305]

I’ve lived here in the south for 30 years now and for the life of me I don’t understand why they don’t bury all of the electrical and cable lines? All of the millions and millions spent over the last 60 years from hurricanes all of that money could’ve been spent to bury electrical lines telephone lines cable lines once and for all end of story.

Sure. Are you footing the bill?

[@jadestone8552]

It would seem incredibly dangerous for those people to be out walking in the water. There are downed power lines everywhere! More traffic than I thought would be out too. Be careful, stay safe, prayers going up

[@MasterCarguy44-pk2dq]

I would have expectrd the property in coastal zones to be built far better. There are home build options to take 180mph wind. Totally round structures built in the 1980's survived Andrew's 205 mph gusts without a scratch. And they are still there today.

[@MasterCarguy44-pk2dq]

[@josie291662]

Question, in this video it shows alot of electrical lines down. Knowing this is a very high prone area for hurricanes, why not bury them, unless its a flood plane?

When small children take their little sand shovels and dig, they hit water in less than a foot. Get it now?

It was a very slow moving category 1 hurricane for quite awhile and they were aware it was going to become a cat 1 for at least two maybe three days.

I'm curious to know about the metal roofs that looked like they were on your video. Aren't those specifically for hurricanes? If so, they did not stand up to the hurricane very well. There are all sorts of storm protection being sold but if it doesn't work, we need to know... Devastating to look at - I hope everyone survived.

[@stbentoak5047]

The problem with metal roofs are when the wind gets under them they come off in 20+foot panels, not small pieces like shingles. So much more likelihood of roof failure when wind gets under the metal, and it usually does......

My first thought... Riding the bicycle from gulf breeze back to Pensacola all night literally falling asleep while I was riding the bike and making it there by God's grace in one piece. After yet another attempt on my life in gulf breeze. Because I whistle blew to Gulf Breeze Mayor's office about the mites that were being spread. My second thought that pole looks like it was snapped like a twig and I am most certainly in humble awe of God's power grace and mercy I pray for everyone's safety there. ❤️💞 My third thought when I was trying to find a hospital in gulf breeze after I had been poisoned and I ran into a man as I rode my bike asking him for directions. He said that they had put their wife's aunt into a mental institution because she said she had mites on her eyelashes and they didn't believe her I looked at the man and said you should have believed your wife's aunt.
