Return To Florida After Driving Cross Country In Historic Winter Storm - Why I Decided To Keep Going

[@MrTheoriginalderek]

Adam the Woo arrives back at Echo Base after surviving AT-ATs, wampa beasts, and the smell of tauntauns!

[@MrDb406466]

Straight outta Hoth, Texas! 😁

[@TheDailyWoo]

I thought they smelled bad ...on the outside

[@jamistrong1919]

Glad to see you safe

I would've been worried if he started hallucinating and saw an older guy in a brown robe telling him to go visit a little green fella.

[@cruisingwithwilliam]

@@TheDailyWoo were you go next video?

[@TimKreitzAdventures]

My wife and I live in Midland, Texas (about an hour north of Fort Stockton) and were astounded to see you traversing the state in those conditions. We watched every installment over the past week and said a prayer for you every day. I've watched your vids forever and never commented before, but I just wanted to tell you that I'm glad you made it safely to Celebration. Cheers and best wishes.

[@Alisha-rv5dp]

So nice to see you made it back to Celebration Thanks for sharing your road trip I live in Northern NY state & we get a lot of snow, but that was a scary ride Glad you made it safely!

[@vegas1a]

I drove across Texas to SW Florida in January, many years ago. No snow, but it was COLD!!!! Like Adam, my drive was SoCal to SW Florida. Took Amtrak back to San Diego, best trip I ever took, just fabulous doing the country via train.

[@brianb2288]

On the other side of town, Gavin is walking around with his piping hot coffee and telling everyone the person at Starbucks thought his name was Adam, and that he is going to start spelling his name after saying it when ordering.

[@theirishhammer9108]

Your blog is the BEST, most interesting stuff going on in the entire Internet. I have a TV with over 1000 channels and I can’t get the entertainment and fun from it that I can get from watching you! The Wooooooo!!!!!

Real talk the true heroes are the Truck Drivers who have have to push on through this weather. Honestly they dont get much Love 🚚 🚚

[@swearenginlawanda]

They just get a lot of hate. Sad. Every one wants their "stuff" on the store shelf, just don't consider how it gets there. God bless them and keep them safe

[@em286]

Its so cool we were able to experience that storm 1st hand through you instead of just hearing it on the news. Celebration seems like a nice place to live.

[@Caderic]

You experienced it, literally, second hand, NOT first hand, through his videos. Some of us here in Texas are actually experiencing it first hand.

[@goalie2998]

@@Caderic I hope y'all get back to normal with minimal damages. As a Massachusetts resident I'm used to thaose conditions. And it astounds me when we lose power up here how few people have generators. Although they are getting more popular. I highly recommend everyone owns a generator and has a way to connect to their home.

[@LAFan]

@@Caderic Hope people in TX start electing better public servants. You are not being served well in that state by the likes of Abbott and Cancun Cruz.

[@Caderic]

@@goalie2998Thank you. It would be business as usual today had it not been the weekend. And it basically is except delivery truck haven be able to get goods to store until yesterday, so they are scrambling now. The only major part has been the roads. We take care of each other around here and are ready for a lot. (The news has over sensationalized it) It's one thing for this around here. It has been like over 100 years since anything "this bad" has hit Texas, so we aren't prepared for this, but not being prepared for something like this up there...DUMB. I'm you, I don't get it.

[@Caderic]

@@LAFan I agree, they don't take care of things the way they should, but not how you think. I am a grown man. I don't need the government to take care of me. I am not lazy. If you think that's the job of the government, YOU are the problem. Lack of forethought and planning on my part is not an emergency on the government's part. On the flipside, lack of forethought and planning on your part does not necessitate an emergency on my part (as a tax payer). By the way, the electrical crisis is because of the Democratic lead federal government green laws pushing windmills that can't produce electricity in this kind of weather. Long live the Republic!

[@redprepper2335]

I love your mention of liking a bit of “everything” at the end. That’s a great reason why most of us watch you. To get your filming and perspective on a bit of “everything”.:)

[@ronbrower908]

I prayed every single day of your road trip...lol I’m SOOO glad you are back safe. A nice, calm, uneventful ramble video was just what was needed...lol

[@goingslightlymad7172]

So happy you made it safe and sound. You had quite a nail biting adventure driving cross country! A trip to remember! :)

[@darrencarter]

Love the update and love the comedic/dramatic series. That was intense! Glad you are safe my friend!

Even though it was dangerous, it was history in the making! Once in a life time event for all of us, thank you!

[@tabres03]

No sarcasm, congratulations on inadvertently creating some of the most interesting content you've ever put out. Every day was waiting with baited breath to see that you were OK.

Love the Woo! So glad your safe. I say this respectly, sometimes we have to think beyond ourselves , as not to indanger others ( slide and cause yuk) love u woo

[@DevonaRavenhold]

I am thrilled that you made it back safely. The ice and snow are melting a bit, but did refreeze again overnight. Stay safe and soak up the Florida sun!

[@mrsteel10213]

I feel the super excitement you feel and the weight you took off your back. Ive felt that many times, as if your eyes widen up and your mindset settles for enjoying even the smallest things that gives us joy.

[@hoffdogify]

I have to say, you’re not actual family, but the way I was worried about you on this trip, you may as well be. Nicely done, my friend.

[@caroleflynn761]

Many people were praying for your safe return. Welcome home.

[@martinfey578]

As i commented in one of last weeks videos, I'm sure that series of vlogs will be one of the most memorable Adam has ever done. My biggest concern wasn't so much about Adams driving skills, but how easy it is to become a part of someone else's accident in those conditions. Luckily it all turned out fine and we are glad for that.

[@My5StarLife]

As a women who loves to decorate her house I'd watch you run your errands and buy furniture. If its within you're taste you could even hunt around for old Disney items from the hotels and parks they resale in your area. But that's just my cup of tea. I do love your road trips to small towns and theme park videos. Can't wait for you to be able to go back to Disneyland!

[@leamarie1974]

You weren't totally alone driving back to Florida, Big the Foot was with you. 😊

[@geraldcamarillo2939]

Haha

[@theirishhammer9108]

I actually have his cousin, Big Da Feet in my car.

[@robertmalcomson4777]

The DailyWoo continues to be an excellent channel to check out daily. Adam's patience and calmness during that drive through Texas was admirable. It was awesome to hear traditional "not operational!" quotes as he drives by ramp after ramp that was closed haha.

[@scorejason]

Its dangerous to drive in those conditions for a short distance. The fact that you drove through the Republic of Texas in those conditions is incredible. My friend, you had someone watching over you, no doubt about it. Glad to see you back in Florida.

[@MG-si8fw]

Excellent statement "Republic of Texas"! 6th Generation Texan back to 1840.

[@tinytattoomike7943]

Glad you made it safe Adam Here’s a tip if you get caught out driving in bad weather If it’s almost freezing watch the spray coming off the vehicle tires ahead of you if the slush/spray disappears that means it turned freezing time to slow way down if you Don’t see spray coming off the tires also watch the vehicle taillights ahead of you they’ll get super clear /crisp when it goes freezing I use to not only drive 18 wheelers I trained for a while also 😉

[@dorothylewis1207]

Thanks for advice. Things I never knew.

[@moon_child7294]

Good to see you made it safe. I miss Florida so much. It brings me a little comfort to watch your videos and makes me not miss it so much. Thanks Adam!!! Have a wonderful day!

[@gingerroot3226]

You may consider yourself 'lucky', but realistically you just made very smart decisions. Staying on the interstate, only driving during the day, driving slow, etc.

[@skimasker3049]

I still get nervous just watching those videos. Hardly any gas, water and not to mention COFFEE.

[@geraldcamarillo2939]

Yep he was lucky

[@claudiabottom4086]

Glad you made it safe Adam. You documented the storm of the century.

Hi Adam I’m so glad you’re home safe and I have to say I watch all of your videos and love the ones where you just ramble and speak from the heart. Thank you for being who you are and sharing your life with us I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you I know it’s gonna be amazing

You did a great job of documenting the difficulties of traveling through an epic snowstorm. Surprised you did not have more difficulty than you did. as a Texan I watched your videos and got more information from them than from the news.

[@barbie3sunset]

Well, I told a couple of friends last night moving out of state tomorrow. "Just remember life likes to throw speedbumps at you to test what you're doing is what you really want, and some of them can be some whoopers." Glad you kept to what you wanted, and came out safe.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

It was thrilling to me to see where you were, how you were, if you were,...........kept me on the edge of my seat, hoping, praying for your safety, & well being. I am only 1/552,000 subscribers who did in fact find you videos exciting. I traveled along side of you & big da foot. It may not of been what you wanted to video, but it was a true life experience you shared with those of us whom might not ever encounter those conditions. Thank you Adam. Your a brave soul!

[@JasonPullara]

Winter tires and added weight in the back of the car would not have helped you going through texas. That was a northern-style blizzard they got hit with, and they are simply not prepared for things like that (understandably). The only thing that would've really helped your situation were ice chains and a spare 5 gal of fuel to get you to another town.

[@nellgrill3845]

Added weight;. A few bags cat litter if traction is needed. ❤️👍😏

[@FrankCostanza456]

Except up here in the North, we typically have the mechanical infrastructure to go out repeatedly plowing and sanding throughout storms. Add that to freezing rain they got and it was a nightmare scenario to drive on.

[@auntieshayshay]

So glad you are safe and sound!!! I did a winter cross country trek in January with my dad many years ago. We went from the South Bay Area, CA to Georgia. A snow storm had just hit. When we left Barstow, and crossed into Arizona we were in snow the rest of the trip. It was pretty grueling, even though we were equipped with snow chains and CB radios...
