Devastating..

So sad. All those people lost everything.🙏🙏😔

What do you do after something like this? Unbelievable what these people lost..

Reminder that Fort Meyers is a 60/40 Trump district. How many of these voters will participate in the midterms?

So now FEMA, courtesy of the US taxpayer will send billions, exponentially compounded by Biden inflation to rebuild swamp land which is uninhabitable and uninsurable. Only to watch it all happen again and again.

No more boats for you!

Why would these people go out in the ocean knowing that there is a hurricane coming

Let me guess: Biden calls to congratulate, then soon to be fired bc they did not take the vaccination.

Scary

Sad

It's obv they ignored the weather warnings. Crazy.

So heartbreaking!!!!!!

They are mailing out the State Farm brochures right now and those must be in pamphlet format or these people absolutely will not be paying any soggy ass parking tickets right now

This’s just the beginning of the end

!!!Islamic regime security police attacking Sharif University right now, they fire on students with no mercy,this is the women Revolution, please be women voice,do something please MahsaAmini

rg337734 OMG,This terrible hurricane.

Global warming isnt real. Rebuild. Just ignore it.

Look at the devastation the Democrats/Marxists have caused in this neighborhood.

Ask Zelenskyy for help.

This is why we run from Cat 4s and 5’s except the ppl of Lee, Collier, and Charlotte Counties had no chance to run.

Waiting for abc to spin this as “It’s all DeSantis’s fault”.

Another crappy vertical video. VerticalVideosSuck

WorldNews Who takes a sailboat out with a hurricane approaching? Dumb decision that put rescuers’ lives in serious jeopardy. Those people should pay the full cost of their rescue. And never be allowed to own or operate a boat ever again.

GMA I would hate like hell for somebody to tell me I had to jump off in that water. But then again I wouldn’t have been stupid enough to have been out on a boat.

WildGrizzlyBea2 Incredible, courageous, life saving actions once again by our The U.S. Coast Guard!! They risk their lives, even for the morons who shouldn’t have been out there in the first place. A life is a life to them. They are heroes!❤️

Why were they out there in the first place? HurricanIan has been all over the news. Plus, they live there & knew what was happening with the weather. Now they put first responders at risk! They should be held accountable!

They let just anyone have a boat.

sometimes people need to deal with the consequences of their own actions and sink or swim on their own. DarwinAward

Cuba need reporters and journalists 🙏🙏 HELP check the news 👉Cuba

Biden hasn’t kicked those Coast Guard members out yet?

Why were they out there? Seriously…

That's so crazy 😧

It’s called the Graveyard of the Atlantic for a reason.

I think I heard the people from the sailboat shout “Before you come rescue us I need to know if you are vaccinated!!”

I love the USCG. I do think these folks getting rescued need to pay back taxpayers in this instance.

Do people really ‘not get it?’

i saw several platform it did not workout well but when invest my startup capital €3000 in your trading platform not less than 5 days I made over €30,000 from your trading platform i must confess you are truly wonderful 🫶👇👇👇
