Thank you for this report. We ned more real news such as this instead of the media wars going on about control of government. This shows the needs of the people in issues that really matter.

[@uncletom-e4461]

VitaminDee TV... Have you seen the pictures of the old "1800s type" paddle wheel boat/casino that broke loose, drifted 3/4 of a mile and imbedded itself on the bridge base, under I-10 in Lake Charles due to Hurricane Laura about 6 weeks ago...??? A REAL mess... Great photojournalism, VitaminDee TV...!!!

I live in Europe, but I was interested in this story. I was happy with the nice well articulated English that you're using. I am used to people from the southern US being really hard to understand.

Great job on the video. Good info for the locals to follow. And your camera is spot on, excellent quality.

[@michaeltaylor4984]

I was at Ft Polk, LA during a rather nasty hurricane. We mobilized to assist the local population, and ourselves, and I can tell you that stuff is horrible. Sportsmen's Paradise is always plagued by trials and tribulation. But, the fishing always makes it great.

[@misterakt]

hi there i’m in Gulf Breeze and i can honestly say that Skanska ruining our brand new bridge is one of the worst things to happen in our area since the oil spill. businesses in Gulf Breeze are already starting to suffer - just last week we had a McDonald’s close. the price of goods have gone up as well because it’s so hard to get out here. i hate to say it, but it’s only going to get worse...

[@bocabec6744]

Great video. It looks nice around there. Are there any state campgrounds where a person could pitch a tent? I like a place where I can take a shower and grab a breakfast. I'd love to visit that area from my home in south Florida. I have friends in Navarre. I doubt they are going to restore that set of tracks.

That is crazy

[@freshlysaltedfishing8500]

A big lawsuit where the main people affected will never see a dime from it.

[@bwcritch]

Had the company move the barges and the storm never developed into anything significant, and delays incurred, everybody would be complaining about the schedule not being kept. Also did you Coast Guard did not move those barges, private industry did.

[@VitaminDeeTV]

Understand that this company was already 6mos or more beyond their completion date and people were already complaining. Now ask yourself, which outcome outweighs the other? A: Futher delayed completion date... Or B: A damaged bridge that is inoperable AND further delays...

[@bwcritch]

@@VitaminDeeTV Just saying people will complain no matter what. If they were ahead of schedule people would still complain because they felt it cost to much or something.

[@JoelBouchillon]

Skanska, GET TO WORK!!! .. Fix the bridge!!! No more Holidays/Vacations/Days off for you!!

This is why you don't put a railroad bed on the side of the ocean. It won't last forever.

[@randyivie3462]

Great video man nice work

[@JM-5150]

How do you sue mother nature? owners of the barge will be responsible for the barge removal and it’s clean up . A salvage company could take it and make a profit. Railways being eroded by storm surge ? How is anyone responsible for that other than poor location of the rail system. I’m from Biloxi and Katrina destroyed coast. Grand casino was obliterated as well as Treasurer bay. Hwy 90 had chunks missing and washed away. Not to mention houses that were nothing but slabs and debris. Gulf Coast is unfortunately a target every year from a hurricane.

[@mediocrefloridaman]

I bet the city pumps sand from offshore inland to fill beaches with new sand. It goes on everywhere and where the sand gets taken away from, it will make its way back to fill the void that was left in the ocean floor. Thank your local politicians if you live in a beach area that has has bad erosion problems.

[@VitaminDeeTV]

Andrew V They do. It costs lots of money, but must be done. Thanks for watching. -D

[@mediocrefloridaman]

@@VitaminDeeTV i beg to differ. Man plays God too often and you documented high levels of erosion. Seems like its a great deal for the sand pumping companies that have all those beach cities by the balls. You think the pumping will ever end? Think about what's being killed when they lay that new pumped sand onto the old beach sand. Think about what's getting sucked into those pumps off-shore. It doesn't matter until it matters.

[@slappy813]

Bro thats crazyyyyyyyyy

[@jamescostello6529]

Slap a salvage claim on it. I see no keep off or property of signs on it. Talk to a maritime lawyer about it and make yourself some money.

[@John-tx1wk]

In order to have a salvage claim you have to actually successfully perform the salvage. I could be wrong but I don't think these guys have a tug to pull that barge off. Also the property being salvaged must be in "real danger" as defined by international maritime law. While this barge is clearly not supposed to be there I doubt the principle of real danger is met. The myth that one can walk up and down a coastline and claim salvage on washed ashore vessels, cargo, equipment, etc is just that, a myth.

[@TonyTackle]

We got hammered bro! I'm in ferry pass over by the bluffs. Definitely Cat 3!! Eyewall came through this way 100%

[@Tray_0123]

what happened is sally entered in the mobile orange beach area but once it hit land it stopped and moved horizontally towards us in pensacola and just sat on top of us for a while

[@johnnystarspangle2876]

Looking at your video, I used to swim in Pensacola and Choctawhatchee Bay and Sound in the 60's, the sound, bays and bayous around there were crystal clear shades of green and blue. Now they are a murky brownish color with a slight odor. You can watch the tide line at the beach as the bays empty out at times, a cloudy murky demarcation line as it moves down the beach, clearly visible...

[@johnnystarspangle2876]

@Brian Landers Been this way for years, runoff from homes, every square inch of waterfront is used. No particular event is responsible, just overpopulation that's all. Maybe one day they will have buffer zones along the coasts, ie no building within 1 mile of the water, idk.

[@joeblow3939]

Great info. I'm up here in Delaware and would never have heard of this with your covering this.👍👍 We are the new news .

[@abelphilosophy4835]

Does much of Pensacola look like a ghost town , with the exception of the beach , or is it just my perception?

[@Greenwashedhipppie]

Crazy stuff. I took some yard debris to the Milton dump because I didn't want my grass to die waiting on the contractor's to come and get it. The mt of debris is pretty epic.

[@joecool5034]

Thanks for the update dude.

[@MrRtschirret]

The land is at the high water mark not the waters edge . They will get there barge off the shore at some point. The rail line on the other hand is a much bigger problem. The coast is a great place to visit but it's hard to own. Thanks and good luck.

[@FloridaFlipFlops]

Wow! That is hard to believe. Sally missed us here in Naples. Very good video!

[@pynetripp9323]

Question- why hasn't the company removed the offending barges? Did they go bankrupt, default on their bond or what? Sad about the train tracks getting undermined. Lets encourage the train line owner to armour or pile support the line so assets can resume using the line.

[@jamesarmijo437]

Trump is the one that is OK with this.

[@WH6FQE]

My question is why they would be stupid enough to build a railway that close to the ocean. Makes absolutely no sense from an engineering prospective.

[@muzicalvet1983]

Maybe for Amtra industry or some other community voted it out of their communities.So it ended up their.I love that view it would be a great Florida train ride if it worked.🤷‍♂️

[@brittanyrigney7992]

I live in Gulf Breeze, and I just pray they keep the tolls suspended. It’s already taken my morning commute from 32 minutes to an hour and 32 minutes, but if they put the tolls back on Garçon point, it’ll cost me $280/month as well just to get to work in the mornings.

Corrupcion and negligence

[@cbx500cbx]

Sorry if u buy land next to ocean and it dissapears too damm bad.

[@eddiekeeler9955]

Everyone that lives on the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Coast knows that hurricanes cause damage. We are in hurricane season. Strong storms can turn into a hurricane rather quickly. A hurricanes category can change quickly depending upon air and water temperatures. The construction company was negligent for failing to secure their equipment. Thankfully their negligence did not kill anyone, but it did cause catastrophic damages.

[@jcl1201]

Were the railroad tracks used up to the point that the hurricane hit ??

[@tomjones7216]

Everyday. A railbridge crosses the bay there and the track curves around the water and goes to the Port of Pensacola.

[@LAD1149]

Course it doesn’t it’s florida and the people who are in charge don’t do jack shit

[@mediocrefloridaman]

The city plays God by pumping sand from offshore to fill beaches that erode. That causes big depressions offshore that eventually fill back in lowering the shore more than it was to begin with. Sand pumping goes on all around Florida and the world and it's flooding small islands that were once occupied by villages.
