So thankful your family is safe. Thank you for staying positive and not being doom and gloom. Life is about attitude and how we approach things. Prayers for all Floridians that are suffering

[@judycoyne7818]

Thnx for sharing your enjoyable video especially the frisbee toss!! We’ve been living in Venice for 6 yrs but this is our first hurricane we stayed for while we evacuated to Charlotte for Irma in 2017. Ian was a doozy without power for 4 nights, flooded street that prevented us from leaving for 2 days! Except for minor damage and inconveniences I’m glad we stayed!! Heartbreaking for folks south of us who are living a nightmare each n every day!😢😭😱 Glad you’re safe and your kitties too!! We have two kitties also who were bewildered through the storm with the house being dark!! But we survived, unlike the 100+ who perished!! 😭🥵

[@itsthedonnellys]

Glad to hear you are safe and recovering ❤️

[@kaylaangrand1868]

Glad you guys are alright,so devastating to the families that were affected by the hurricane

[@rain-wanders]

So I don't often say what made me happy in the comments, but today I've got to say that I got a GREAT new job which will allow me to financially get ahead while also giving me the ability to focus on my own business a bit more, so I'm elated about that! Glad you guys were safe from the worst of the storms. It's sad to see the devastation in Fort Myers. I'll be looking for ways to help as well.

[@amym1460]

Congratulations! I hope to have the same news soon.

[@alexandreasaunders9300]

I’ve lived in Florida my entire life, but never seen damage like this. We were lucky compared to others. It’s so hard to see my hometown in shatters. I feel so grateful, but also such guilt. I wish people would stop giving you grief for a positive attitude. That’s the only way to make it through something like this. Glad you’re okay.

[@Brittany.Anderson]

You have been through more hurricanes in Florida than I have. Woah you didn't lose electricity I have never been that lucky with a hurricane when I was at home. When I rode out storms in college never lost electricity.

[@hattiecox7602]

Glad y’all are safe ! Yesterday the remnants of hurricane Ian came over nc and it was crazy glad everything is ok

[@SABRINA.ARMY.BTS.]

It’s good that you’re safe ! I’ve no experiences with hurricanes so I think that it’s interesting to watch but also scary and devastating for everyone that has lost their home ! Ryan the cookies look amazing and I need the recipe! Greetings from Germany

[@birthofanimals]

We all saw you guys on the news nice job!

[@russellroden568]

Hurricanes are no fun. We have lived in south Louisiana for nearly 21 years and have our share. It is a sickening feeling knowing it is coming and wondering what will be left after. So glad you all are ok.

[@dannyvermeylen7408]

wow thats fun...im coming..😂

[@micahsullivan1095]

Is it just me or does Mike remind you of Mark Wahlberg? haha

[@DIDYOUSEETHAT172]

Oh yes if you want to know how dangerous a situation is in nature look to our furry friends. Sticking close is moderate comfort, If they abandon you, and suddenly dive under a bed that's a good hint. That's why I always go in those movies when the dog comes tearing up barking, "Your kidding right?" when the people at first ignore them, or go what's with him. Also our ocean friends. Dolphins sense when a hurricane is brewing, and head for deeper waters to take refuge. 😁👍🙏🙏

[@itsthedonnellys]

That is such a great strategy!

[@DIDYOUSEETHAT172]

@@itsthedonnellys 😁 Stay safe. Prayers to those who suffered the worst of it.

[@magmasaga269]

Check it out. Meteorologists actually have a ⚡Waffle House Index⚡, to informally measure the severity of storms.

[@sassyamari]

How did y’all end up on the news?

[@itsthedonnellys]

Mike's friend has a friend who was doing work for ABC and wanted to talk with someone in Ian's path. We agreed to help him out!

[@sassyamari]

@@itsthedonnellys oh cool! I saw on Katie’s instagram. Also saw the video on KZbin!

[@nacoleb8913]

Jill were your parents in Florida during the hurricane?

[@wincharles1195]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@kaitheskzstan]

e- its coming to america soon.. ITS IN F- FLORIDA

[@BARBIE....24]

Molly...lol

[@brockruss6678]

Not the chocolate chip cookies making a debut on the news lol

[@steveddavis]

Ummm, it's Green Bananas Jill... "You have to be optimistic to buy green bananas." Glad you are all well and rode out the storm safely! Cookies are always important 👊 Great job as "remote reporters". Waffle House is indeed a Florida thing, if you want Florida BBQ, put Sonny's BBQ on your to visit list. Terrific excelling by Mike for going out and playing in the hurricane. Power staying on through a hurricane is definitely something to make you happy. Thanks for keeping us informed and glad you take things in stride and make the best of it.

[@justbrowsing71]

Yes Sonny’s!!

[@carrierodd5987]

You know it’s bad when you see Jim Cantore! Glad you’re all ok and made the best of it. 🥰

[@JamesWoodard1222]

Really? Jim Cantore has visited here in Oklahoma several times. I've even met him a couple times. Oh. Wait…

[@HappyCatHappyLife]

This made me laugh and chuckle so much. Loved watching them playing with the frisbee. Grateful you stayed safe and managed to make the most of the storm. God Bless Everyone.

[@bradthomas3144]

Why y'all didn't buy a generator

[@peaceful525]

Devastated for the people who have lost so much. So sad for Florida.

[@robinbrown7953]

Yes, many severe loss, injuries and people who have lost everything…and even though many areas has some flooding…the places that took the biggest hit and had severe storm surge…don’t have much to laugh about today…many prayers for those who had it really bad…so many youtubers are using this to make a good video and have some drama for entertainment …at least jill mentioned people more affected.

[@Scout-nn4vb]

Noodles and cookies for these folks. And golf. Sigh.

[@tarsneyisleestrelas4659]

When I was serving in the Royal Navy on board HMS GLASGOW. We were called to do disaster relief on the island off ST Lucia in 1980 when hurricane Allen hit the island it certainly was devastating. So much damage caused. We had to do electric repairs especially in the hospital we had to fly food around to island with the helicopter to feed locals who had lost everything. What an experience. So do all stay safe and look out for one another. Great video stay safe.

[@keepsmiling1982]

Glad your all safe Jill; Remember as bad as this was it could always have been worse. All the rain could have been snow. That would have been alot of snow. Made me happy today was you being safe. Oh yeah and Ryuan making cookies. Have a great night and as always Keep Smiling :)

[@trynitymarie5938]

Rain is a lot more damaging then snow dude

[@alexandreasaunders9300]

Tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about, without telling me You don’t know what you’re talking about. Rain (especially hurricane of this magnitude rain) is far more damaging than snow.

[@oligorman999]

Hi Ryan I like your channel is the best in the world 🌎🌎 I am a Art for the UK DO you draw

[@scottb8551]

Incredible 1st hand account. Thoughts and prayers for those affected by Ian. Hopefully they will get all the help they need in rebuilding. So grateful you all are safe and sound.

[@maskedmarvel]

You know it's serious when waffle house closes.

[@magmasaga269]

The Waffle House Index 👈

[@timothylowden9794]

What a great example your family is setting. Treating a killer hurricane like a snow day. It"s fun day at the park with the Donnellys. Will the adults or the children grow up first ?

[@jessicamartin6271]

We live in north port and still can not get home to our house and we got damage we know cause we had family evacuate to our house

[@wordiebirdie]

I'm in Orlando and got super lucky during this storm. Only lost power for 6 hours total. Thank you for adding a link to the disaster fund!

[@wyattdrmby1]

I have a question for Ryan Ryan you are so amazing on the camera I'm wondering you ever thought about making some golfing videos and just wearing a GoPro on your chest and commentating as your golfing I think it would be something that would be amazing to see and you giving other people experience while you're doing that this something to think about you're just so good on camera

[@Katelynruff31]

I started laughing when Ryan had to go get the frisbee. I hope you guys stay safe. 🌀😐♥️🇨🇦

[@henrykkosnski7204]

Gorąco was Pozdrawiam 👍🇺🇸🇵🇱🇺🇸👍👍👍

[@theresagrosscup1968]

Florida has really brought out the playful side in Mike. Hey Mike Ryan’s hat didn’t come off because his hair is his personal rain shutters. Glad you were all safe!

[@itsthedonnellys]

😂 Thank you!

[@RachaelDOnofrio]

Awesome video I really like it lot it was cool and you made awesome video and you are best KZbin channel and stay safe

[@violetmarie3055]

so glad your safe! i love your families videos so much and can’t wait to watch your channel keep growing ❤️

[@khdavis]

I saw y’all on the news. Prayers to you guys and those who were in the path.

[@taylorhauser244]

I want to see Katie’s perspective!!!

[@Amariwilcox823]

Hey donnellys family me and my family we have no hurricane coming in Valdosta Georgia it was just a 💨

[@gulftherapy]

I never noticed how much Mr Donnelly looks like Mark Wahlberg!

[@rtriceclay]

Just watched your ABC news segment here on KZbin. So glad you all are safe and well. Praying for all that have been or will be in the path of this Hurricane.

[@itsthedonnellys]

Thank you and yes, please remember the people who were not so fortunate.

[@magmasaga269]

When Ryan took off ⚡chasing the 🥏disc, with that 60-80mph tailwind gust 🌬️💨 pushing it and him, he accelerated so fast, he actually blurred out momentarily, and seemed to diffuse 💦 molecularly, between the drops of 🌧️ rain😲‼️

[@Radictor44]

Such a shame to see the destruction, really feel for the people of Florida, keep safe everyone, Love from the UK

[@livinglifebornagain7114]

Glad to see you guys where okay. Thank God ! Praying for those that lost so much.

[@JamesWoodard1222]

I just searched YT for "Mike and Jill Donnelly ABC interview". Good interview you two.

[@emilystanton6943]

I saw you guys on abc news on KZbin this morning!

[@jammons7588]

Playing in the hurricane is the purest florida thing to do!!!!!!!!

[@lainy2204]

Every time I hear your kitties names it reminds me of when my grandama named her litter of kittens after the twilight characters, there names were Alice, Emmett, Cullen, Jasper, and Casper. :) I love it!

[@ItsATwinThingvlogs]

I am so glad you guys are okay! It's good to stay optimistic in times like these. I am from New Jersey and when Hurricane Sandy hit, my sister, dad, and i played frisbee outside too! It's tough playing that in a Hurricane, haha! Praying and thinking of everyone effected. 💛💛

[@liverskine]

I’m from New Jersey too

[@sandystoner3352]

I did see you guy on ABC News!!

[@TheBenKerzerShow]

I want homemade cookies

[@PattieM]

In preparation of a hurricane. We make a nice homemade dinner and some sort of treat. We buy fruit and junk food that won’t go bad when the power goes out. Then we shake our heads when the power doesn’t go out and we got lots of junk food. Hurricane went right over us as the exit. 55-75 mph wind gusts. Brother-in-law lost his live on sailboat.

[@lesliemartinez844]

Oh lord Ryan is so silly.

[@keishaali8899]

Waffle House is all across the south we have one that’s like less than 10 min from me! We love it!! We go all the time!!

[@RussellD11]

I lost it all... Insurance doesnt cover crap... no power for weeks... Im losing my faith in God... I cant rebuild again...

[@melissacase7554]

Edward: How am I supposed to potty in this!!!!

[@ApokalyptikNM]

Yeah animals can sense storms due to the pressure dropping and other things, I once had a German shepherd sadly she passed away at 22 dog years old. It was in the summer of 2012 it was a nice calm day, clear skies, no wind, and I started to notice our dog acting in a way she doesn't do and I was actually studying volcanoes and animal behavior, 1883 the krakatoa eruption, the person that was in charge during those times had a pet bird and 2 weeks before the eruption the bird started acting differently than it usually did and on the day of the eruption krakatoa blew its self apart (it was sitting right on a tectonic plate) it caused a tsunami that took many lives, it was so loud the acoustic pressure wave circled the earth 3 times. Anyway our german shepherd was acting differently and a few minutes later our clotheslines were violently shaking up and down but we had 0 wind, so I went to hold one of the poles that were about 5feet deep in the ground, and you could feel the vibrations. And til this day I have no explanation, nothing was reported for earthquake activity and we don't have any faultlines (unless its deep underground or at the bottom of lake superior), fracking hasn't happened here (that I know of), maybe a deep underground cave explosion somehow

[@nomadicGeo]

Best family! Such a great video and attitude your family has.

[@rmannayr2129]

EYE OF THE STORM!!!!!!!!!!!

[@melissacase7554]

Ryan, was the rain warm..could you feel the pressure in your ears?

[@BARBIE....24]

Annie is in her own world....and I'm trying to wright this book....I don't forget friends ..y'all will be in my book....✨✨✨✨✨

[@rmannayr2129]

THEY RODE OUT THE STORM!

[@sullyward]

You all are extremely luck you didn’t lose power, I had to wait nine days after Hurricane Ida hit last year for it to be restored. Mike and Ryan are also lucky they don’t have much debris to pick up. Last year my pile of debris was six feet tall and fifteen feet wide and it took me four days to clean up. 🌀

[@sarahelizabeth623]

What county are you guys in? I’m in Sarasota county but work in Charlotte county. Still no power/water back home and no clue when we’ll return to work (school).

[@Arkalius80]

Ryan skim boarding in hurricane puddles and playing frisbee in those winds is a whole mood lol

[@chrishe1754]

Who is Elisabeth?

[@stefanielieb5258]

Everyone trying to make money off this hurricane 🤣🤣

[@itsthedonnellys]

I hope not. It is a scary thing and there have been many warnings locally for people to not fall prey to scams...

[@gatorgator4]

I’ve lived in Florida my whole life. I do not consider Waffle House a Florida thing. You will never ever see me in Waffle House.

[@andytrujillo2935]

So happy you made it it went over the top of me too!! Loved seeing you on ABC! So happy Ryan is baking during a hurricane! I do the same! Ryan will be on the course on Friday! Waffle House never closes! Playing Frisbee with Mike was Perfect, great exercise for Ryan..😀

[@angelaame6148]

Imagine being homeless during a hurricane, I think the frogs will be ok!

[@cheryl1702]

You are crazy

[@keishaali8899]

When we got hit with delta we lost power for a week

[@JeepGirl45]

That was a great interview!! Do you have underground power lines at your house? If so that would probably be why you didn’t lose power. My neighborhood has all underground lines and we haven’t lost power once in the 20 years we’ve been here and we have been through some rough storms.

[@itsthedonnellys]

Thank you and yes we do! That makes a big difference in not losing electricity...seems like for you too!

[@jrgolferty7898]

Thank goodness you guys are safe here in Orlando we got flooded but we’re on a rebuild now

[@potteryjoe]

Thought for sure some kids up north were getting a new frisbee!

[@charlesdiamond9889]

Hey guys are you be safe and out of the storm

[@beckym5730]

It’s best to tape the glasses if you don’t broad it up. Helps with flying glasses.

[@madnatty]

Glad to know you’re safe..been worrying for you!

[@oguti002]

Pro tip, accordion shutters for that back door would be great. A bit pricey but work wonders for what you want, open for the eye, close right back up when it gets bad

[@mstrickk1]

"Who ever that is, I bet I am like him" These kids today, I'll tell ya hwhat.

[@ladym2674]

Waffle House is not necessarily a Florida thing it's more so a southern thing. Since Florida is considered part of the South you will see waffle houses throughout the entire state.

[@beccaj7978]

Do the dolphin sightseeing boat ride at the downtown Sarasota marina it’s so fun

[@keyannajackson9599]

Im behind on videos, did they move to Florida now?

[@itsthedonnellys]

Yes! About 30 videos ago :) Grab some popcorn 😂😂

[@brittneybeck7546]

1, we need Ryan's cookie recipe. 2, how can I get a job like Mike's lol, but seriously 🙂

Sorry for bothering you guys i just wanted to say hey Ryan your cookies looks so good mmm i love chocolate chip cookies 😋 so good and it's good with milk 🥛 take care.
