Race Against Time: Florida Scrambles to Clear Debris Before Hurricane Milton Makes Landfall

[@oldones59]

I like your style. No music, no self-promos, or quick-cut editing. Just honesty 🙏

[@WxChasing]

Thanks!

[@aja8521]

I Agee! You’re awesome.

[@Pupchipp]

I also agree. Perfect ..I even slowed it down so I could see more.🧐 Thank you for the quality 👌 and no music.

[@LittleChena]

Yes to no music! ❤ … but I would love a voice over. Just where you are, your thoughts.

[@ej3016]

as a Cnd 🇨🇦 we have storms - winter storms with snow that reaches over roof tops and buries folks in their homes - but even so - I couldn’t have imagined this kind and magnitude of destruction - Helene and it sounds like Milton are tropical storms of one hundred year magnitudes - many thnx for all you have to do to take / make these images available (without politicizing things) - your work is very much appreciated - please keep safe 🇨🇦🙏

Free couch lol lol😂❤ I live on Anna Maria Island. So many people lost everything they owned. I can't believe the damage that was done and that storm was over 140 mi from us hurricane Helene was a beast a superstorm. Unfortunately I feel there's more to come. God be with everyone that was affected my prayers go out to all those who are trying to clean this mess up and for those who died❤❤❤❤❤

[@LaurieValdez-zk3dy]

Seems to me like sweeping leaves before a big windstorm

[@mrbr549]

Great drone flying! What happens to that mountain of debris when Milton hits it?

[@WxChasing]

If the winds are 100+mph it would all become projectiles.

[@analogman9697]

It will become the same mess that it was originally.

[@tallmansfavorites7563]

I am in the Ft Lauderdale area, and am somewhat surprised seeing all the appliances on the curb still. In my area on bulk trash day the scrap guys would have them loaded within 30 minutes of dragging it out to the street

[@analogman9697]

They're probably busy with their own scraps.

[@winesap2]

This is unprecedented. This isn’t just a regular trash day. Literally entire houses, entire buildings, entire stores worth of stuff. The infrastructure doesn’t exist to deal with this much stuff in a month let alone a week and a half. They are just getting the roads cleared of sand.

[@tredeuce]

I went to the scrap yard this morning in Pinellas Park. The line was 3+ hours long before they even opened at 8am. That's just one location. For days, only owners and their workers were allowed back on to the barrier islands. Thats where a lot of the destruction took place here.

[@bl1429]

I remember a climatologist was telling Dufus Tdump about climate change, and he said, Well, that's your opinion ", and now look what's happening.

[@valshiro515]

Why does every house remove all furniture onto the curb though? Wouldnt it make things worse? Someone, please explain why they do this.

[@lukelee3]

Insurance will cost more than your mortgage after the next hurricane comes.

No way those piles are not going to get thrown about in a high hurricane wind.

Thanks for showing who the slackers are ! lol. Why fight the sand, keep the streets and yards sandy. Looks better imo. Impressive drone footage !! What drone are you using ?

[@AndreaSchultz-x6g]

Prayers sent to our American brothers and sisters from Australia, as we watch helplessly and hope you all get out and stay safe. ❤

[@tizodd6]

SUGGESTION: You're asked about your truck pretty often on live streams. Maybe consider making a playlist about it where you could direct people inquiring?

[@WxChasing]

I get asked in every type of situation and rent a lot of vehicles. I think we are going to start doing car reviews since we put them through really extreme conditions snd have so much interest.

[@claudialopez-ue8mb]

Omg this so heartbreaking 💔 to see . This could take months to clean all that debris and I hope they get half done before the storm come . Thank you for the drone video . Stay safe out there for Milton storm 🙏🏼

[@Graffenwehr]

EXCELLENT footage - although disturbing to say the least. Best wishes to our friends on the Gulf Coast in Florida from your friends in New Hampshire...

[@AbusedbyScientologist]

I don't live on the beach any more the house I grew up in is in Indian Rocks beach 1st st .The property my father bought was half mangrove swamp .Mangroves where removed before he acquired property. The property was built up with soil before our family house was built .This was the 1940s.Most of the beach was mangrove and sand bars ,barrier Islands .Alot has been altered overdeveloped on the beaches in the last 75 - 100 years. Just like people building houses on a flood plain of a river .

[@Shelley-j2y]

Just curious why it wasn't picked up already, it's been almost 2 weeks?

[@WxChasing]

It is 30+ miles of this just in on the beaches and does not include Tampa or St Pete proper. They moved the equivalent to a year of trash in a week. In order to get it piled up for removal homes have to be gutted. Resources are also spread really thin.

[@Zyzzyx42]

Just watching this gives a fair bit of understanding why insurance companies are leaving Florida on its own.

[@mrssmith3957]

They cannot even begin to build their lives back until all the hurricane are over. May God have mercy on everyone!

[@scubigaza5445]

Which not until winter December I hope after this it calms

[@whburton1]

Which gawd?

[@fulltang1]

They'll get it sorted out just in time for next hurricane season, unfortunately. Florida will quickly become at best case uninsurable and worst case, uninhabitable.

where will all that garbage go?...there is so so much to get caught in the winds from Milton....devastating for Florida...be safe people..viv

There is no way they will get it all cleaned up in time but the effort is impressive. All that debris will turn into projectiles. They have picked up as much waste in the last week as they typically do in a year but still have so much left.

Everyone needs to evacuate this is so dangerous especially with the debree.

[@BenKritz]

Are those fellows shoveling sand by the hotel a chain gang?

[@UncleDavesKitchen]

where does all this debris get deposited? Is there massive Florida land fills for it all?

[@ej3016]

I watched the video again and saw that the debris is being separated 1:15 out I’d imagine for recycling and not all going directly to landfill - also an image that really made me stop “and rewind” was the sand at a beach being sifted 1:58 to separate out the debris from the sand - you could see the two piles of debris and clean sand - not much compared to all that has to be done - but I’ve heard Floridian newscasters saying it has to be done so beaches can be “re-sanded” - much like the waterways which will have to all be cleaned / filtered before they are safe to use

[@Trollollolollol]

[@Pihrana]

[@Redshandler]

If possible, could you do a similar flyover after Milton? I understand it might not be a reasonable request.

They’re screening all that sand that’s full of debris. They might have to do this all over again soon. Hopefully the surge isn’t as bad this time.

[@Hecto356]

It’s going to be the most devastating hurricane Florida has ever seen. It’s already a cat 4 and hasn’t even made landfall yet.

[@winesap2]

@@Hecto356 Hopefully it will be disrupted by wind sheer as it goes north. They are predicting it to slow down before landfall, but you can never know. The gulf is hot and that fuels hurricanes.

Amazing Drone Work Brandon. When i see all this Debris , the Trashpile in the middle of the Town and all the ruined Belongings its really sad to see. But also its kinda silly naive ,putting all the Stuff in Front of the Houses now. How they will be able bring this away in 48 Hours ? Untill Milton will head for this Region , the Piles of Debris will be washed away into Ocean or even more Inland. The Storm Surge will be like a Trash Tsunami rolling into the Houses and the Roads behind the Pile. I will come back here after Milton if I was right on this. Great Shoot with the Corvette on the Back of the Trailer. And the Guys throwing Sand at your Drone , not funny.
