Drone Footage Reveals Hurricane Milton's Devastation in Venice, Florida

[@shenmisheshou7002]

[@elliemathews6884]

Yes this is incredibly sad but dont forget NC and TN. Compared to what they are dealing with this doesnt really compare. When you choose to live in FL you know this is always a possibility. There is always risk involved living in tropical climates. You have time to prepare. The people in NC and TN had no time and ability to prepare for such a disaster. The mountains funneled all that water down and they were helpless

[@mikeworkman3593]

LOL, those places flood all the time. I'm 50 and have been seeing those areas flood on the news since I was a little kid. They just keep rebuilding the same stupid houses. Where the stilt houses? At least here in FL we have proper building codes, as long as you're not on the coast or hit by a tornado, you're OK. I never lost power, only internet. This is because all out stuff gets built properly, unlike those areas you mentioned.

[@SuzanneBaruch]

@@mikeworkman3593 ignorance. We get floods, but not like we got with Helene. Our water service was completely destroyed. There's been no running water for 13 days now and they're telling us it will STILL be "weeks" before service is back up. The water lines were buried many feet below ground and they were STILL washed away. Entire communities that have been here for more than 100 years were completely wiped off the map. So please, spare me your sto opid comments. You don't know what you're talking about.

@SuzanneBaruch 1. Get out of here with the misinformation BS. 2. I rode out the hurricane in Venice, went to sleep at 2am, woke up at 6:30 to drone first light.

@@TornadoWarned Nope. Although local and state officials can REQUEST a TFR, only the FAA can authorize it. And when they authorize one, it's on their website. It's not removed from the website when it ends. So you're a liar or not as knowledgeable as you think you are. GTFO with your mansplaining azzs. EDIT: I just checked the FAA website *again.* There's a NOTAM for "SARASOTA-PUNTA GORDA, Florida" that begins *TOMORROW* running from 1400 UTC to 2200 UTC.
