Clearwater Beach after Hurricane Helene

[@esthersdaughterlong8149]

Heartbreaking. When we moved here in 1968 the beaches were wide open. No condo's. They ruined all of the beaches from Clearwater to Pass-a-Grill from over- building. Praying for all the people who lost everything. Build affordable housing but off of the beaches.

[@trifivegarage8683]

Yes...born and raised here 1966. I met my now wife of 36 years on Clearwater Beach. Was so nice for the locals back then. Before they made it a tourist destination. Sad to see what it's become.

[@siwray3278]

20 years ago my husband and I used to go and sit in an outdoor restaurant and watch the sunset. But that building is not there. Was replaced. Last time we tried to go we couldn’t find a parking space. But it will always be a special place.

[@eugeneabreut960]

You would be surprised, a hurricane like this just brings money into the local economy, all those small businesses going to make a killing in the next couple months, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart they going to sell like never before. It’s weird I know but it’s 100% fact. This is the time to own a skid steer 😂

[@deathnsd6953]

hate what its become

[@siwray3278]

@@deathnsd6953 I feel sad about it too. My husband and I spent our first weekend there so it is a special place. When I go out to the coast I go to Fort De Soto park. It’s a stunning place but now we have to wait awhile.

What's funny is that if you look at the sun you might feel a little pain in your eyes, even though there's no danger

[@pmc6925]

We all went thru hell when that storm passed. I lost two cars myself due to the storm surge. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has to rebuild and has lost everything. At least we have our lives.

[@catrinahartz944]

Yes, God bless u. We live in Tarpon Springs 😢

Such a sad sight 😢. Loved going to Clearwater beach whenever I could. God Bless 🙏 ❤️!

To those that worried about beach erosion. I think nature gave the sand back. Growing up in that area I know the effects of all that damage. I wish you all a speedy recovery and getting back to normal and with improvement.

[@danwatt3247]

Great video footage , condos go away😮😮😊😊😊

[@JeffreySmith7777]

Heels Up has done so many great things for Americans! I just can't think of anything right now. BUT, here's some things she hasn't done: lower grocery costs, lower gas costs, lower rent costs, lowered taxes, secured America's borders, helped bring peace to two wars, lowered murders, rapes or thefts in America

[@timothyholmes5692]

Really!!! This is not the place for political B.S. Maybe a few kind words of encouragement for these people going through through such a hard time.

[@brandyterranova1490]

Wow so sad I'm from FL live in oregon now was truly worried this time I hope e everyone's safe that what truly matters

[@TomZart]

TEARS OF SORROW 2024!! The storms of life come to everyone There are none who are immune. Some approach in our later years While others come too soon. Helene hit like an atom bomb Consuming the helpless in its path. The waters of the deep surged forth Flooding everything with their wrath. Conviction is our emotional union As we weather the storms of Earth. Thank God for His amazing grace Which helps us reveal our worth. Time wipes tears from all faces Whose hearts are tuned to sorrow. Those that cry a thousand tears Shall be blessed by tomorrow. By Tom Zart!

I enjoyed the video excellent view, Clearwater continue the recovery ❤️‍🩹 I miss it !

[@topherchism1645]

Like snow drifts

[@robynrin7107]

ZERO residents live in that stretch This is all the city council cares about. ZERO residents actually live there. We have literally piles and piles and piles of debris and garbage all over the city trees fallen into sidewalk, drainage ditches collapsed. and residents are getting ZERO services

[@ihaveinsomnia1]

Nice video.

[@MikeOxLongerr]

Guys it's bad but it's not the end of the world. A warzone? Come on it looks like a sand storm if abything

[@samkostos4520]

Similar energy output to a nuke so. It's understandable the damage looks that way

[@m.mitchell1825]

Nothing compared to western Carolina.

[@subicstationditosailor4053]

Do you know why everything's going to be rebuilt? Politicians love the property taxes brought in by multi-million dollar homes.

[@ioy6891]

I think they leveled it to make even more money.

[@markfirth966]

the video is mostly showing the hotels, too many have been built in Clearwater beach in recent years and they are still building more. City loves the money from hotel room taxes

Then, why call for God? last time, You taught, you were in danger, i know you did. every single one of us did.

[@dpetrano]

TRASH all the buildings. Return our barrier islands & beaches to pristine marsh and sand. Make ALL the beaches into state parks

[@taylor3233]

It's what mother nature is going to do anyways, I agree.

[@subicstationditosailor4053]

I have been saying this for 55 years now. Allow regulated businesses, but no residential.

[@nyacoustics8373]

How are the residential homes in the area? Were they damaged badly or they are ok ?

[@ahowl7mx]

What camera is that?

[@JohnHawley-c5n]

After so many storm surge warnings over the years, I quit believing it could ever happen. Now I'm thinking, who's going to pay for all the damages?

[@smolville]

For a moment I thought I could smell it.

[@RichardSmith-q1h]

dunes might be a nice look smooth them out I helped put the top floors of the sea towers at clrw beach

[@plantcitychuck2551]

Great blurry video. Must be the same camera that takes pictures of Bigfoot

[@jeron9272]

its 360 footage. looks a bit lower resolution but theres the same amount of pixels. just drag it around you can see every angle

[@catrinahartz944]

😢. We live 35 min away in tarpon springs.

[@Topjunkie-r4s]

Can you make a video north of Pier 60 showing the stores and shops up towards Fenchys and the Palm Pavillion?

[@nrakma]

I’m going to rebuild right here on the beach, right after I rebuild my house that was burned down again by the volcano.

[@timothymccarty4620]

I grew up in belleair Beach right up the street and is a child would find bombs from the practice of the invasion of D-Day. When these type of hurricane events happen and moves the sand around this is when you find those live bombs in other extended ordinance

[@people_watcher]

Looks like a war zone. Im so sad for our local communities and beyond.

I thought it would be cleaned up in 2 or 3 days. I guess I didn't realize how bad it was! My mistake!

[@ryanfraser167]

Probably more like 2/3 weeks but it will get there

[@detroit163]

why not put the sand back on the beach

[@subicstationditosailor4053]

Because it is filled with trash. It would need to be sifted first.
