[@W1ldyman]

glad to see an upload after the hurricane!

[@dianeblack1829]

Great report Robert! Glad you were not too affected.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Diane Black Yes, we were very lucky

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Wow, great video. I live in Westchester now, but used to live at 416 NW 35th Ave, which seems to be close to you from watching the video.

[@barbiecampos2662]

Robert, we sre in Lehigh Acres, next to Ft. Myers. We still have no power.

[@Anthrit]

So happy you made it to continue down the road.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Anthrit Thank you!

[@susanstrickland6774]

Glad you made out ok. What a ride this state has had. Have not experienced a hurricane that big , have lived here 50 yrs. Electric on today!! Best to all, quick recovery! 👍

[@TravelingRobert]

+Susan Strickland Thank you. This is one for the history books because it hit the whole state.

[@susanstrickland6774]

Traveling Robert Sure did.

[@garycampbell8663]

You did good Robert.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Gary Campbell Yes we were very lucky

[@joeingles8388]

The RV survived, haha! But seriously glad you guys are ok! Storm hit us in Kendall hard too. Looks like a war zone.

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes, the clean up operation is apparently taking a long time.

[@joeingles8388]

Traveling Robert I see many of the trucks on the road, but nothing!

[@HookLineSinker4343]

Well done Robert! Cuban TV, cool! Gotta look into that. :) Hope you guys are doing alright!

[@TravelingRobert]

We're doing OK, thank you, but it's been a long week

[@jamescomfort7739]

Glad you are OK.. Thank for the update..

[@TravelingRobert]

+James Comfort Thank you

[@averagecampers]

Glad everything was ok for you and your family Robert. Hope everything is back to normal soon :)

[@TravelingRobert]

+Average Campers' Adventures Thank you. We're good. Lots of people still without power. They still haven't picked up the fallen trees...and we still have no internet.

[@RickMartinYouTube]

Nicely documented. We got lucky in Tampa.

[@TravelingRobert]

I'm glad Tampa didn't get hit that bad... it sure looked bad for you guys the day before.

[@joannfarrell312]

We are so glad you made it through! Thanks for the video!

[@TravelingRobert]

+JoAnn Farrell You're welcome

[@hardy1416]

We are happy to see you again in a good condition 😊Thanx god

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you

[@C-TOS]

Good coverage Robert. Do you listen to Alvarez Guedes comedy skits? I love the skits about hurricanes. Also, the tree in front of your house we call it Flamboyan in Puerto Rico.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Crurned Travels and Other Stories Yes, I like Alvarez Gedes too, I've listened to his skits this week, and we call it Flamboyan in Cuba too.

[@1geckobros63]

as always a wonderful video with the most relaxing voice, thank you for your effort and I'm glad you and your people are fine

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you

[@bmwm31230]

Glad to see you and your family are all safe. Going back to the Keys end of the year and I am really hoping they will have fast recovery.

[@TravelingRobert]

I hope by the end of the year they will be almost back to normal. Businesses in Key Largo are starting to open already. Other places like the Tiki Bar are gone

[@samanthagimenez7193]

you look like my tío juan haha im from broward we got hit basically the same mostly just foliage

[@SocratesWS]

Hi Robert,thanks a lot for this captivating update of events out there in Miami.Greetings from William in Bruges,Belgium.W.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you

[@nanashi8686]

I still remember the sounds of the rain hitting my bedroom window during the storm...

[@DizTraveler]

hey bud, still no power up where I am at. I wish we had those 20mph winds now, it's very hot inside -- no power, no generator-- as of yet. I ordered 1 Wed -- put a rush 2 day shipping on it. from what I am gathering Duke energy is hitting the major populated outages instead of working on places with a few homes

[@TravelingRobert]

Hey my next door neighbors don't have power yet either... and it doesn't get much more populated than this. I don't know what's taking them so long

[@AnjaliRajadhyaksha]

Thanks for your round the clock live coverage, which was dangerous . But you still did that successfully. I followed most of it, along with other news networks. Hope all's well & settling down. Best regards.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you. Things are slowly getting back to normal.

[@Sheshe661972]

You summed up very well how nature takes back what's been stolen during extreme weather, i.e. swamp areas.

[@TravelingRobert]

Nature always wins

[@twdenman1]

Glad to see you survived. Thank you for sharing. (You wanted to replace those outside speakers anyway. :-)) Ted & Lee Ann

[@TravelingRobert]

+twdenman1 Yes, now I have another excuse to replace those speakers or remove the altogether

[@kevinnovo2197]

Lol, I made one like this on my channel too

[@bariton3779]

i had power so i just huddled up in a blanket on my bed with a puppy and watched netflix, the hurricane was actually enjoyable for me

[@nissancubepartyplay]

You live sooo close to me!!! 🤭🤭🤭

[@moskii-kb8un]

I can't imagine how it was for the coast line of Cuba as Irma stayed a cat 5 while the eye raked across the coast ( While still over water) and those tiny islands? along Cuba's coast. The Virgin islands (US & British) look devastated..

[@TravelingRobert]

Luckily not many people live in those tiny islands north of Cuba, mostly beach resorts, and yeah, the Virgin Islands, St. Maarten, Barbuda... very sad

[@jen-a-purr]

I know Hurricane Ian ruined people’s crap and all but Irma killed the interior of the state worse to me. Irma was a beast and she was relentless. And I’ve been thru the 2004 season.

[@enzoacs]

What Didn't you Evacuate you have A RV

[@TravelingRobert]

Too many reasons, and family members... I am far away from the coast anyways

[@randywatson9435]

Great video. I appreciate your sarcasm too. Lol😂 your reporting was so much more accurate than the MSM's "dooms day run for he hills or die!!!!! " reporting that they were pushing for most of Southern Florida's residents . My dad lives very near to the ocean in Tarpon Springs in a trailer home, no flooding or damage other than tree branches, but still without power as of right now. Glad youre ok Earth Ex2017🤔

[@TravelingRobert]

Well you know it is all fake news :-) We weathered the storm fine. The lower keys is the only real "disaster area"

[@bitterrose1025]

Haha I saw my house in this video. I was slightly afraid you may have caught me walking dog in my pjs.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Romi 😰 we must be almost neighbors.

[@bitterrose1025]

Traveling Robert Looks like it. Though my block wasn't as lucky. We did lose power but we got back it 2 days later

[@user-ly5tf1sz6h]

We dodged another monster...

[@vg5157]

The eye of the storm closest moment was 104 miles from Miami, and looks like pass over Miami, why our authorities are so alarmist and unprepared at the same time ? after 5 days in my neighborhood still without electricity and nothing happen here ,nothing !!! Some tree branchs on the street because the wind of 50 mph ., looks like we don't learn from past storms specially Andrew .

[@TravelingRobert]

+Miami Eyes They haven't even come to pick up the branches. Streets are still blocked, and all the FPL trucks are parked at the Magic City Casino

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks for sharing your experience, Robert. Glad Miami "weathered" the storm so well.

[@TravelingRobert]

Yes, very lucky for us the eye of the storm didn't go through Miami

[@satancrusader1033]

this message is for all Floridians.............this is punishment for voting for Trump REPLY

[@TravelingRobert]

You're funny...or not
