TROPICAL STORM DEBBY IN SARASOTA 2024 | AMISH COMMUNITY PINECRAFT

Sarasota was hit hard as Debby came through super slowly in August 2024. Unprecedented flooding occurred very quickly overnight. My parent's home had 5 ft or more of water and many, many others very similar. It was a devastation. They prepared for some flooding but no one expected it to be this bad. Thank you for your concern. I will do follow-up video soon. Subscribe if you're new. Please be kind in the comments. xo-xo Lynette
*ad revenue from the video will be donated to my parents.

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.

[@robynknight9041]

I’m so sorry Lynette. The rainbow was beautiful! You can replace things but not lives. I’m so glad your parents are safe!

[@margaretalletson84]

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..

Our family lost everything we owned twice because of flooding from a hurricane and tropical storm. I still remember how thick the mud/sludge was. The smell is something you never forget. One of our floods was in August. We were displaced and had to stay at various homes until we could get it cleaned up. It took 4 months just to get clothes and household items replaced. Red Cross and Salvation Army provided very little. I hope their new home is everything they want it to be!

I helped my mom after my younger brothers and she lost a home to fire. In hindsight there are blessings to be gained through the disappointments of life. Rebuilding and being alive to do so is just one of them. We get awaken to just the human aspect of helping others through rough times, uniting for the cause together. It is a loss and we do mourn but we can laugh at the craziness of all of it too. Rising out of the water to a new birth or out of the ashes to revive again is a test of endurance and enduring to the end. God bless you all through the devastation and strength for the future of new beginnings. I have been wondering if you were effected by the storm when I heard it went through Sarasota. Thank God all are safe and alive. Prayers to you and your families.
