to ever hit the United States, made its ruinous landfall less than 30 miles south of Young’s small home on the water in Venice, bringing 150 mile-per-hour winds that tore through the area. The damage was hard to fathom — entire blocks were razed or unrecognizable — but it was also random.
“I never expected it would look like this,” Young said. “I’ve been trying to pick stuff up and then I get sick and sit down.”“What made her house go down and ours didn’t?” Rhonda Racki asked her husband, Ron. Their single-story home perched alongside Young’s property was mostly intact, and by Thursday evening they were grilling chicken beneath their carport.
The Rackis had recently updated their white home, and an insulated roof covering was cemented onto their back patio. The covering blew off and wrapped around a nearby utility pole, but beyond that, their house was mostly unscathed. Inside, it was pristine.Maybe the renovations helped, they reasoned. Maybe their other neighbor’s house, which is a couple feet taller, blocked some of the wind.That’s what Young was hoping for, too.
Praying for lady and others 🙏
I find it offensive when people say the 'prayed and their prayers were answered' when their neighbors house was blown down. You must really think you're special and superior if god himself decided your neighbors house was ok to be smited to oblivion, but listened to your prayers
Similar to hurricane Andrew Katrina and MANY others been there done that but the sensationalizing lamestream media acts like it's the first time this has ever happened
Went through typhoon Pamela in Guam. Same thing. Tin shack standing undamaged next to the remains of a concrete block building that was totaled
I'm gonna guess it's less random, and more to do with building standards for houses. A well built house is more likely to be resilient to extreme weather than a poorly built house.
😭
Not really. If the wind didn’t get them the flooding IS. Apparently a dam has broken in North Port and the water is rising.
