  • MSNBC’s Ali Velshi joins Andrea Mitchell from Naples, Florida to report on the catastrophic storm surge the city is experiencing. “There's debris all over the place. It's entirely flooded,” says Velshi. “There’s no beach left in Naples.” He warns the city is "not even close to the worst of it yet."

Just needs one wave to pick any of them up and smash their head on the pier, or the posts, and they're gone. And what of the risk they'd put rescue people at, trying to save them? People who deliberately put themselves in harm's way should be left to the consequences.

    I'm in Naples Florida right now I live about 40 minutes away from where this is being filmed. I'm shocked the storm surge is this bad, usually we don't get that bad of storm surge (at least as far as I know).
    Edit: Before any more people say anything about climate change, just know that I'm not a climate change denier.
    Also before anyone else starts berating me for "not listening" and "not being ready", I'm surprised simply because storm surge numbers (as far as I recall) are usually not very accurate for our area and so I'm surprised at the accuracy of the stats this year. I was listening to the news and i prepared for the storm and I'm doing fine. In fact the forecasts showed that it wasn't gonna hit Naples as bad as it is now, it wasn't until Monday that they realized the path had changed.

    The devastation in Florida is heartbreaking, it is very difficult to see these homes and businesses destroyed and strewn about. Florida is such a beautiful and upbeat place, and to see this loss is to understand how precious and valuable life is. Many prayers of hope and strength for rebuilding and healing are needed there.
