GETTING THINGS OFF MY CHEST - HURRICANE MATTHEW | Page Danielle

[@Marie_G.]

I live in between St. Augustine and Daytona, FL. It was really bad down here during Matthew. There was so much destruction, weeks with out electricity, poluted water. I volunteered time after Hermine hit little ol' Cedar Key, FL and they got like a 13 foot storm surge it wiped out everything within 2 miles of the coast over there. I remember walking down the streets helping everyone move every possession they owned to the curb to dry out there houses. it was beyond overwhelming having total strangers crying on your shoulder or crying during a hug because you were the only rock they had hold onto. We had just vacationed there a week before.

[@thatonegirll9215]

girl, do NOt apologize for crying. April26th, 2016 over half of my town was destroyed by two tornadoes. We weren't prepared either, houses were taken out, trees everywhere, water everywhere, no electricity for over a week in the entire town, power lines down too just like what happened with y'all. we left our house with our kids right before the tornado got onto our road, lightning barely missed our truck and we heard a huge loud bang and all we saw was white. believe me, I get it. it brought everyone together yes but its still extremely tough, til this day I am stillllll terrified anytime it rains, anytime it storms, I have horrible anxiety, I have been on meds for over a year, when my husband drives thru flooded waters, I FREAK out, I will not drive during storms etc. don't ever feel bad for showing your emotions! You are human.

+ThatOneGirll thank you for this 💕

[@thatonegirll9215]

Page Danielle anytime girlie.

[@camillecloninger9660]

I thought about ya'll so much during the hurricane. I kept telling my husband I wonder how Page Danielle and her husband are doing. I am so glad everything is ok. We said many prayers for you!

[@PageDanielle]

Thank you so much!!! We are so blessed to have all of this love & support! :)

[@smalltowngirl077]

I absolutely love how honest and real you are! When you started talking about the bridge yall had to cross, and how sweet Cody was. When you broke down, i broke down with you. 💕 God is great!

[@hgreer04]

I'm so glad you guys are ok! This storm really took a toll on people. There is no way to predict the severity of something happening until it happens. You don't need to apologize about anything. You & your family have been in my prayers!

[@PageDanielle]

Thank you for the prayers, means a lot!

[@tinathyberg7322]

Page you broke my heart, so happy everyone's safe.

[@GarrettWedding]

I stumbled upon your channel researching cruise info and keto dieting. I've watched a few videos and saw this one... you had me tearing up too. I understand the emotion, we experienced 50 in of rain from Hurricane Harvey Aug. 2017. The people of Houston are still recovering. I know this is a story you will carry with you a life time, but it is also a testimony to Yah's grace and mercy.

[@traciepatterson9264]

As I sit here in Scotland county waiting on Hurricane Dorian I am in tears, I feel the same about water. My parents are in Pembroke, i remember driving down 74 and looking over at Harper's ferry looking at the water in people's yards.

[@temia1986]

I am so happy that you guys made it home safe. I started crying watching this video. I couldn't imagine going through that... That is one of my biggest fears too because I can't swim. I live in Charlotte and saw some of the damage on the news. I will definitely keep everyone in my prayers. Also I love watching your videos 😊

[@PageDanielle]

Yeah I was finally able to watch some of the news & see others areas that were affected near us. Its just so sad to see all of this especially somewhere I have lived my entire life. Thanks for the love & your support :)

[@vernaholladay9829]

Wow, so thankful you are all ok and made it through that hurricane. It's time like this you re-evaluate the most precious things in life. And that is our families etc. possessions are replaceable people are not. I can only imagine the fear you had going through that water, there are just somethings unless you experience it yourself you can't imagine what it's like. Years ago a hurricane went through Pensacola Florida, my in laws had a vacation home there by the water. It practically wiped out the place. It was a mobile home, it broke the hurricane straps and moved the mobile home, completely tore off the huge screened in porch, blew out all the windows and filled it halfway full of water. I was so thankful they were here in California at the time. They couldn't go back for many months to see for themselves as the whole area was off limits even to the people that lived there. When the road was open and they finally got to assess the damage they just couldn't believe it. A huge tree came down and landed right beside the mobile home just barely missing it. I know this is from last year, still so touching as to how it can impact your life. God had his hand on you and Cody, he kept you safe from harm.

[@PageDanielle]

+Verna Holladay oh that is so sad to hear. But yes God had us in His hands the entire time!!! 🙌🏽💕

[@jenniferfortson5182]

Girl, I can't stop crying. I'm in Robeson County and I know exactly how you feel. I never felt like something like this could ever happen here. It was most definitely a tragedy that helped pull our community closer. Glad you guys are ok.

[@jasminedanielle8824]

Watching this brought me to TEARS! Sending love from NC, this video hit home and brought back some personal memories from Hurricane Matthew!

[@Relaxing.World.Scenes]

I totally understand your tears! You do not have to apologize! I had to drive through all of that water because since Justin is a firefighter we had to evacuate separately just in case he was called into work. I am not scared of water, I was a lifeguard from age 16-18 and I have been trained to rescue in water and I believe thats the only thing that held me together. I was terrified though because I had a 2 and a 3 year old in the back seat and had we been taken away by the water I could only help one at a time and as a mother its hard to think how can I manage to rescue them both at the same time. How would I ever choose who to get out of the car first. It gives me anxiety again just to type that. And you're so right! We were not prepared at all. Last time I saw a hurricane this bad it was 20 years ago when Fran hit and they said we had more water this time than we did that time. Im glad its over. Its still hard for us to shop in lumberton because of everything thats going on but it is getting better every day and I pray we never have to go through that again! Love you Page!

[@PageDanielle]

I wish I was comfortable around water! I kept thinking about you, Julie, & Ross last week!! I wasn't sure how St. Paul's was compared to what I was seeing. I couldn't imagine having kids with us & going through what we did, you're a very strong woman & such a good mama to those babies! We are so blessed to have survived this hurricane. I have not been able to hardly go anywhere near Lumberton, & I most definitely have not driven in that area & I have no idea when I'll get up the courage to do so. But love we love y'all & are so glad that you're ok 💕

[@debracarter4825]

Page, I'm so sorry y'all had to go through that. Thank God he brought you out all right. I'll be praying for you and all the people in your area.. thank you for sharing with us.

[@susanmurphy8022]

Love Meg I understand I had four children and one in heaven.

[@tinajones8151]

I am sorry you guys went through that. Thank God you guys made it through. I am scared of water myself.

[@321stephmc]

God was absolutely with you two that day.

[@TachiHogans1]

My heart goes out to you! Praying for you and your family! No need to apologize out all. What has happened has been a lot and I thank you for sharing your heart with us.

[@PageDanielle]

Thanks Tachi! I feel so much better after sharing this, it was definitely necessary

[@TachiHogans1]

Your welcome and I am glad you feel better now. God bless you!

[@NailsxBionx]

Wow! I subscribed to you a couple days ago. You brought me to tears, I never seen this video. God was definitely with you and Cody the entire time. Amen! ❤

[@SillyEudy]

I just recently found your channel and have been binge watching your videos all day! I literally cried with you while watching this video. I am from Robeson County and am also TERRIFIED of water. I never in my life imagined I would have to go through something like Hurricane Mathew but God brought us through that tough situation. Love your videos!

[@shawnabalthis5798]

I am so glad I found you're channel. We are so much alike. I over think things badly, then it gives me horrible anxiety. I too try to mentally prepare myself for things and I hate it so bad. Whenever we have tornado warnings I automatically start thinking of what I need to do, or what I would do if something happen, I'm also home alone a lot with my children at night (my husband works night shift sometimes) and I often think to myself what will do if someone breaks in on us, what would I do if I woke up and the house was on fire... over thinking is horrible. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

[@PageDanielle]

+Shawna Balthis that is so true!! I hate the feeling, but it's nice knowing I'm not alone ❤️

[@brittanyweatherly6058]

prayers to you and your family. I'm glad y'all are okay. I can't imagine dealing with that amount of flooding I've been in minor flooding and panicked. I'm so glad I found your channel a couple weeks ago, y'all are such a inspiration.

[@PageDanielle]

Awh Brittany thank you! :)

[@sunshinehellohuddle]

i know it's been a while, but oh man.. I'm so sorry page. so glad you're ok..

[@nickihendrix8772]

I’m sorry that you went through that. I’m glad you and your family are safe.

[@jennearney6944]

Oh, dear sweet Page. You're an incredibly strong woman. I'm so glad you're able to talk about this. God was there every so of the way carrying you when He needed. He loves you and your wonderful husband so much. The Kingdom shall be theirs ...! When life gets tough, look up. God is smiling down on you. 😘

[@PageDanielle]

Jenne Arney thank you for this!! You are so right, God never leaves us 💕

[@kimberlyb4469]

So sorry, but thankful that God had you all in his hands and brought you through this. Prayers and hugs your way.

[@PageDanielle]

Thank you Kimberly!

[@shaniawatson8750]

Page I'm sorry you and Cody had to go through this but I want you to know that my family and I are praying for you and your family even now 🙏🏽❤️️

[@PageDanielle]

It most certainly was!! Thank you for the kind words & support :)

[@bernitasmith2495]

I know this was back in 2016 but wanted you to know we here in Rome Ga. went through what you experienced. A tornado x3 came through and hit my house twice and one of the times my children were at school and I was at work working my own house being hit. A terrifying situation. I thank God you all made it through. To God Be The Glory💗

[@kerismith24]

I can't imagine what that was like for you. My heart goes out to you. Sending prayers and love to you sweetheart!

[@PageDanielle]

Thanks girl, really appreciate it!

[@ebonimami]

Awww sweetie. I am new to your channel and this video had me in tears. Prayers for your family and your hometown! Praying for strength as you all recover from this devastation.

[@PageDanielle]

[@tammylangdon6627]

Big hugs to you.Had u and your family on my mind since the hurricane.I also live in N.C. and I saw the devastation the hurricane brought.Where I am we had flooding all around lots of trees and powerlines down.I underestimated this storm so badly as I think a lot of people did.So glad y'all are ok.When we finally did get power and cell service I was checking everywhere on here to see if y'all had posted something to say you were safe.Glad your ok so sorry YOU had to go thru all that traumatizing fear.SENDINGS HUGS TO YOU!

[@PageDanielle]

Yes! There was no way we could have ever been prepared for this & all the breaking of the levee/dams were not foreseen. No one knew that it would turn into what it did. Thank you for checking in on us, I hope you & your family are well!!

[@ddasilva4]

North carolina?

[@kimmcneely6859]

iam so sorry you all have gone thru all this.

[@PageDanielle]

Thank you, but God has a plan!!

[@meshandathaggard1693]

Hey page I definitely feel where u coming from I stay in fayetteville and just seeing all the damage lumberton received was unbelievable the worst I've seen in my 29 years

[@katiaruffin4906]

I'm glad that you and your family are ok! My thoughts and prayers are with you all ❤

[@PageDanielle]

[@209serenity]

[@PageDanielle]

209serenity thank you so much ❤️

[@trishalocklear1792]

By that Monday all I could do was cry. Mama & dad live behind the board of education & had to be evacuated out by boat. Mind you their house lifted like a beach house & is about 12ft up & they lost everything!!!!!! We had to get into Lumberton & get them & drive over areas just like you were speaking of. I am too completely & utterly deathly afraid of water never been able to learn how to swim just bc of that very reason. & I know all to well what you are speaking about & how you felt. I was so so scared & all ERic kept telling me was I've got you I would never put your life in harms way. This has truly been completely devastating to our community.

[@PageDanielle]

Im glad that someone understands the fear I have. Its so hard to explain or try to put into words what this hurricane done to us & also our community. But thank GOD people have came together & made the best out of what we were left with. I will continue to pray for you & your family Trish!!! Love You!

[@katrinasessions1633]

I understand I live in Jacksonville Florida. I am afraid of being by myself it does the same thing to me. I trust in GOD with all my heart but as I watch this my husband is having a sleep test done tonight so I know how you feel. Bless your heart.

[@PageDanielle]

Yes trusting in God is all that we can do!!

[@laureltreecreation4699]

May God continue to bless you and yours. Thank you for sharing. I know this will give someone hope for a bright future.

[@PageDanielle]

Thank you I knew there was a reason it was laid on my heart, just trying to be obedient!

[@thefoster5763]

God Bless you and your family. Thank God you all are safe.

[@marilyndarlin6014]

You and your sweet family are in our thoughts and prayers. 😇🤗👼☝

[@PageDanielle]

Marilyn Darlin thank you!! 💕

[@veronicavillalobos3972]

I'am so glad you guys are okay, you are correct God never leaves us he is always there when we call unto him, he is our refuge in our tribulations, will continue to pray for everyone affected by this tragedy. sending blessings all the way from south texas.

[@PageDanielle]

Thank you Veronica!! This is very kind of you, NC definitely needs all the prayers it can get!

[@Nee007]

Wow Page this was so hard to watch!😥 I'm just glad it's over and things are getting better. God bless ❤️ I pray that you find peace in your heart and mind.

[@PageDanielle]

Thank you! I most certainly need it, it's going to all get better in time!

[@missyelle2749]

This brought me to tears. I feel EXACTLY the same way about water and my husband try's to t arch me how to swim but I haven't been able to get past the fear of when the water gets up to my neck. I want so badly to be able to join my family when we go swimming. I am thankful you and family are safe. I know God has the power to help us learn how to swim because it's a must that we learn. Thank you for sharing with us

[@PageDanielle]

Missy L glad I'm not the only one who suffers with this! Someday we will both get over this fear & be able to enjoy a day at the pool! Thanks for your kind words 💕

[@alldemmochalattesxoxo16]

I am from the Rocky Mount area and I know people in Greenville and the eastern part of the state definitely were not prepared because the forecast minimized the impacts which took so many lives.....prayers and love to you!

[@PageDanielle]

Yes it most definitely did! What was thought to be a thunderstorm turned out to be so much worse. Thank you!

[@anastasiachavis51]

I completely understand how you feel....hurricane Matthew has definitely been alot for Robeson County and has been a load to bear....

[@PageDanielle]

It certainly has but thank the Lord for bringing our community together & showing His love those that wouldn't have seen it otherwise!

[@AlexMissick]

My heart goes out to you hun. That Hurricane was the worst for a long time. It ruined my home Island of Andros in The Bahamas (graves dug up, entire homes washed away) but we must remember the God is in control at all times and he will always provide.

[@PageDanielle]

MissBeautyBunny He most definitely will!! I am so sorry about your home island!!

[@franclark640]

I'm in Charleston, SC and our state was prepared for it, but I'm like you with the fear of water and being scared of drowning. We didn't even get it as bad as other towns but still. I was a baby when Hurricane Hugo hit and it was like a cat. 4 and at one point the news was saying Matthew could be the worst storm since Hugo so it set my anxiety off bad and so we left to go to TN until it was safe to come home. Praying for you and your town!

[@PageDanielle]

My husband followed the storm all week but we could've never prepared ourselves for this. Hope everyone is safe your way!

[@ailsau8995]

I understand your fear of water, I am also terrified of drowning and am reluctant to use boats of any kind. I don't think anywhere in the world can be truly ready for a large natural disaster because they are so unpredictable. I've been wondering how you were getting on and am so glad to hear from you. Take care!

[@PageDanielle]

Thank you for checking in on me, also thanks for the kind words!

[@LorisLifestyle]

Danielle, I'm so sorry you and Cody had to go through this. My prayers are with you and I pray God gives you peace in your heart. Hugs~Lori

[@PageDanielle]

Lori thank you so much! We are so blessed!

[@ShanteVega]

Omg I thought I was the only person who felt that way about water. I'm scared to death of water. I have dreams about water. I'm sorry you had to experience this terrifying situation. I can't even imagine. I'm glad you guys are ok. Hugs

[@PageDanielle]

Thank you Shante! 💕🤗

[@jenniferscanlon210]

I'm just seeing this video. So sorry you guys had to go through this. I'm also scared of water. Thank the Lord you guys are ok, And your county is also ok now. God bless!

[@christykielbasa5441]

So sorry you had to go through that situation, I went through hurricane Charlie and it was the scariest thing ever! I have pretty crazy anxiety and I couldn't imagine going through that area you were in. Glad you are safe!

[@teresabaltazar2130]

I know how you feel. I don't know how to swim myself. Here my girlfriend and her family are in Key Largo and they decided to stay. I remember my Dad driving on bridges during going to Mexico in their rainy season and little boys would guide us through them. Keep the faith...M♡M of 5

[@laurielyon1892]

I’m so sorry you went through this BUT glad you realized God was there for you! No doubt when you only ha 1/4 tank of gas for 6 hours-totally God!

[@beautiful.transition]

Thats crazy
