TROPICAL STORM DEBBY IN SARASOTA 2024 | AMISH COMMUNITY PINECRAFT

[@honeydew4576]

I love how Lynette is so beautiful. Rather than being mad at God for the flooding, she says, "Thank The Lord for not letting the permits for the renovations go through." Now, that's a thankful heart! Praying for all of you.

[@bkj2508]

Oh my goodness!! I am shooting prayers up for you all. Sorry, for your parents loss of there home. I am so glad they were not home. Thank goodness for all the help you all had, from friends,community,. So blessed were you all.T he rainbow was beautiful!!! Will pray for all of the people that were flooded. Tell your mom and dad I am so glad they are safe, but sorry for what happened to them. Love you all!!

It was shocking to me that a tropical storm could cause that much flooding. I've lived in a coastal city in Florida for over 50 years and have not seen flooding like this before-from a tropical storm. I'm praying for your parents and the Amish Community. I was blessed watching your video and hearing how your community is helping one another and walking in thankfulness in the midst of adversity. You are showing us what it looks like to walk in love with one another, what it looks like to be a Christian, and how to trust God no matter the circumstances!

[@yvonneplant9434]

Fwiw, the Amish are the only Christians I have any respect for. They mind their own business. They don't proselytize. Some of them do come into Philadelphia from Lancaster Co, PA to sell goods in the Reading Terminal Market. They are efficient and hardworking. Really good people.

[@gailfleenor6583]

I can't help but cry when I see all the devastation. My heart goes out to your parents and all the others that had flooding. Sending hugs and prayers to your family, Lynette.

I feel so bad for everyone involved,especially for the family of the man who drowned in his truck nearby.Already some shady unscrupulous people are taking advantage of the elderly.One case being an elderly man living in Laurel Meadows whose house was flooded,an “Inspector “ came by and told him he would remove and replace the drywall that was spoiled for $15,000!.The volunteers who visited him told him absolutely not.One of them was married to a retired firefighter.He came with some of his buddies,they tore out the dry wall,replaced it all for free.Also,unsure of the name but an Amish cabinet maker promised free cabinets.Such kindness amongst the community.God bless you all..

Nice job on documenting the flood. I live just south of you in Punta Gorda, and I’ve rebuilt after several hurricanes. You are right, you just can’t describe the smell or the overwhelming, oppressive heat. Hang in there, each day gets easier as you clear away the mess and bring order to your parent’s lives. As we navigate through our lifetime we learn that there is a reason for everything, and a year from now you will be in a far better place. Sending prayers and hugs.

"Devastation" is a perfect word for all of it. Very glad your parents were safe and that the incredible community is taking care of you all. It's kind of amazing how things work out, that their renovations hadn't begun. Still, it is a loss, and I hope they are holding up okay. Thank you for sharing what happened, because it hasn't really been in the news much and that's unfortunate. Best wishes to you all as you make your way through this.
