The Aftermath of Storm Debby in Sarasota | Daily Life & Updates | Lynette Yoder

[@patriciahagedorn5694]

The destruction of all these homes is just heart breaking. I pray that no lives were lost. I love how your family has come together for support and clean up. This is so emotional to watch and view in disbelief on how devastating the loss was. My prayers to your family. Thank you for the update.

[@judywyse7088]

We visited Sarasota and Pinecraft - Detwilers, Yoders, Der Dutchman. etc. in March 2024 because of your channel. We are so sorry for your losses, and you are in our prayers. Your attitude, hard work, and trust in God's sovereign rule over all things is a blessing. Keep up the good work !!

[@darlenemc3586]

It's heartbreaking to see everyone's things by the curb. I'm sending hugs and prayers to you all!

[@joanmatchett8100]

I thought the same thing , heartbreaking

[@DebraHaskins-r7y]

Continuing to pray for all affected by the flooding. You're right Lynette, our Heavenly Father is good ALL of the time. He will and does see us through everything. Blessings and prayers...

[@janetgray8737]

Lynette, when you go through horrible things like loosing everything in a hurricane, flood, etc., it takes awhile to get back to normalcy. It is hard to get your feet back under yourself. I am sorry that your parents have had to go through it. I can see that Harper struggles when she goes over to your parents. She remembers the fun times she had there and now things are in disarray. She is too young to understand. Bless her heart. Prayers are being said for all those affected by Hurricane Debbie. Hang in there!

[@ConservativeVeteran]

So glad you're not 'blaming' God, but giving Him the glory. He said it "rains on the just and the unjust." So even bad things happen to good people. I'm praying this will all soon be a distant memory.

[@peterwhite9261]

Prayers for all affected by the flooding. Clean-up is one thing. I pray the aftermath does not bring more disease with it. The girls are adorable. It is nice to see the boys and Oaklynn help with dishes.❤

[@denisekirsch3759]

Watching these last two videos have brought back SO many memories of us losing our place on Sanibel Island. No one can prepare you for what it is like to see all the damage. We were very fortunate that we had a home back in Southern Illinois. You can see the pictures, but until you actually walk in and see it,there are no words. The smell,silt and sand was horrible!!! It will be 2yrs in September and now we're are just getting to finish it and hopefully be done by end of year. My heart ached for all of you!! So thankful your parents have a place and a sweet daughter to help them. Sending you all love ,hugs and prayers!! God will see you through all this!!😊

[@pennihairston4907]

I'm so sorry your parents have to go through this. Prayers to better days ahead.

[@Aenes-rp5lj]

Dear Mrs.Yoder! Many uplifting prayers and thoughts from Austria to Florida! All will be well again. Your mother looks simply wonderful in her cape-dresses despite the adverse circumstances. If these very elegant dresses could be bought worldwide, I am sure, the Mennonite Church would become very rich.

[@bethdeck9825]

Your family is in my prayers along with the rest of family. God bless you all!

[@heidihomsher6743]

The pictures of the flooding are just so devastating to see. Prayers for your parents as they navigate this difficult time.🙏😔I love how you still thank God for His goodness and faithfulness as you all go through this together as a family.

[@janetboltz6387]

God bless you all!

[@debbiekearns7702]

My heart truly aches for what y'all had to endure. Thank God everyone is save

[@laurale8299]

Bless little Harper. This is so hard for her to comprehend. Still praying for your parents and the other flood victims. ❤🙏

[@valeriecardwell9816]

Continued prayers for your family and all the others affected by Debby.

[@betsylindsay8480]

So sorry your family and neighbors have to go thru this. It’s so stressful, even with loving hands helping. Florida Native, 72 years of hurricane experience here.

[@terrieaves1682]

Continued prayers for all of you. I'm so sorry. ❤🙏

[@pamelafranzen2771]

Your family is in my prayers! My mother lived through a flood that destroyed the businesses and many homes in the town I grew up in. Floods are so very dirty and ugly. But as time passes things do get better and the sun does shine again. Take care!

[@luciddreams1122]

I'm so sorry your parents have gone through that with their home storms are bad over there ,but pleased to see your parents okay considering what they are going through 🙏❤️❤️🙏

[@marybethbagin4565]

Hi Lynette: it’s just so heartbreaking. All of it. I had 6 inches of water in my basement in May. The power was out so no sump pump and 4 inches of rain in less than half an hour. There’s no comparison to your disaster other than the overwhelming feeling of helplessness. I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing or even where to begin. It took a couple of days for the water to recede and then I just started making a huge pile of ruined possessions. It took 3 weeks to get the basement back to normal. Now, anything on the floor is in plastic totes. Lesson learned!

[@trishakrenek4171]

My heart goes out to all of you. ❤

[@please-wake-up-now]

It’s really tough to see the impact of the storm like this. Sending all the good vibes to everyone affected. Sometimes a community comes together in ways we never expect! 🌈❤️

[@pampayne9033]

Lynette, Sorry that your family and others are going through all of this. God bless.

[@delledonne1]

I was really looking forward to this weeks update. While I know that things are still in upheaval mode it was nice to see your Mom smiling! My heart went out to her last week, the devastation and shock showed on her face and it worried me. Today her smile just lit up your video. I hope and pray for all of you that going forward things get better for all of you.

[@tracewalker8772]

Thanks for the update Lynette, I’m continuing my prayers for the community! 💕💕

Hello Lynette!! I'm so very sorry your sweet parents are having to go through this devastating loss!! We lost our home to fire in 1993 our 3 kids were still at home they were 15, 12, and 4. It was so devastating for our family. But God was faithful and restored what we loss. Our family, friends, and neighbors came together when we needed them the most!!! I love that yall are doing that for your sweet parents!! I'm so thankful for God's promises he will never leave us or forsake us he loves us and he knows what we need before we ask!!! Continued prayers for you all!!! Take care and God bless you all😊❤

So heart breaking for everyone! Sending prayers.

[@susanrnbc]

Love that you call the evening meal supper! I grew up doing that and have continued the practice! We only have dinner on Sundays. 😊

[@normalopezingle7732]

Sending prayers my friend in North Carolina was flooded as well. She has lost a lot. They rented the house but the land lord is in his 80's and does not want to replace the carpet. I am worried about mold for them. Prayers they get through all of this as well.

[@lifeaccordingtocynthia5657]

Our lives are so fragile and fleeting but in God's hands. It is amazing how quickly this storm came in and did so much destruction. The weather across the U.S. has been really wild and unpredictable. I'm just so glad your parents have a nice place to stay for now until all this gets sorted out and they can finally move on. You and your family are so dedicated in helping when help is needed. That is precisely what families should do, come together during hard times.... but celebrate the good times as well.

[@marilynfdavis891]

Flooding is horrible-especially when humidity is 100%- 💜

[@Sarah_Kilmer]

The community I live in had devastating floods 2 times in 5 years, it’s horrific to experience. Seeing belongings on the curb to be thrown away is horrible. I’m praying for your folks and your community. 🙏🏻

[@NotLouder1]

God bless you and your family. I lived on Alta vista st and used to walk my dogs past your parents house. I’ve lived in the pinecraft area my whole life it is so sad to see this community destroyed over night.

[@joannaaffrunti1446]

So hard to see all the devastation! Keeping you all in our prayers. We live in the Tampa Bay area and I always dread this time of year.❤

[@KathyCrenshaw]

So sorry for all the loss of homes, my community recently experienced a flooding as well, 10% of our population affected. It’s soul wrenching to witness.

[@EdwanaCole]

I’m sending prayers for your family and all the other families.

[@lindanorrell7812]

So hearth breaking to see your parent property as well as others Trusting the Lord will make a way for them all to quickly get things back to normal Pray for your father will get better Thank you Lynette for sharing your family with us

[@missbabs1959]

[@joycesmith1854]

I’m extending prayers, love and good thoughts to your family. I’m so sorry about the damage to your property. God is good!

[@susanseifert925]

Continued thoughts and prayers🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@BettyHorn]

Continued prayers. We drive around and it's almost like nature is reclaiming everything. It's surreal. And yet, for as long as I remember, there has always been storms and cleanup. When Donna hit in 1960, the water was coming in through our walls. And we had nowhere to go. But we just keep on plugging along. After all, it's home. Again, many prayers.

[@curban616]

It’s very hard to put a like on this video. My heart breaks for your losses but thank God your family is all ok. We live in Lakeland so I understand the storms devastation. We have lived here since 1978. I moved from Ohio as well. My heart is with you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@sandradummer4726]

Hi Lynette and family, bless you all for all you are having to deal with.

[@madit3135]

Thank you for the update! Been praying for you guys and your parents. That purple floral dress was stunning on you! In Florida, we can wear whatever we want in "fall"; I think it's perfect!

[@ladybird74786]

God bless you guys, Lynette ❤

[@deborahhopper4832]

It’s good to see things are drying up a bit. I know it’s so devastating now but things will gradually get better. This reminds me of Spencer IA just this summer how streets are lined with belongings and the smell you mentioned, so powerful. Plus with the heat and humidity ☹️I’m praying for your folks and for Sarasota. 🙏

[@lizbundick6334]

Continue to pray for your precious family!

[@boething]

I’ve been thinking about you a lot and praying, too. I love your videos!!

[@lindahurst3538]

Two years ago, because of how much debris was left clogging our drainage systems following Hurricane Laura, our neighborhood flooded following a freak storm. I’ve never experienced anything like it. We lost everything! Our streets were lined with mountains of furniture, Sheetrock, doors etc. So I know first hand what you’re going through. The difference is we had no flood insurance! I cannot tell you how devastating this was. Thankfully our church friends helped us clean up and get through it. Believe it or not you will get through it and looking back you’ll find blessings. You are in our prayers! Hang in there!

[@LynetteYoder]

That is truly devastating 🥺

[@LoneState]

Continued prayers for all sweet Lynette. 🙋☕😺🙏 Sherry & Donnie

[@doreenbenson9129]

So sorry for all your parents (and many others) are going through ! I am sure it is all very hard and daunting for them! I pray they see God’s hand of blessing through this difficult season. PS that second dress is so beautiful on you!

[@amandamendoza4181]

I’m by so sorry your family is going through this! I hope your parents are able to find/build a new home in a safer area when the time is right! In the meantime, know that prayers are being sent!❤

It looks like New Bern, NC after Florence came and hit our town. We were very lucky we only lost a few shingles.

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha 🌺 Praying for you & Yours and all affected by Debbie! The you Lynette for bravely showing the house. I'm sure it's horrible. Take care! 🌺

[@gracefarm394]

With the humidity and moisture, I can only imagine the smell. In our desert environment flooding is sometimes an issue here in NM. Thank you for sharing about freezing the albums to try to save the photos. Continued prayers for your parents I am sure they are exhausted, 💗🙏

[@LittleHouseatthefarm]

❤ continued praryes for your family,looks like you'll have a lot of changes coming in the future
