So a family with SIX small children stayed in beach home during hurricane! Lucky but questionable sanity.
I just shake my head.
Epically bad parenting
I was thinking the same thing. They probably don't know what causes them! I'm sure they'll want all kind of hand outs with that many kids.
Guess you don't need an IQ test to reproduce
I might stay in a modern home facing a Category 1 storm only. Do you leave your home for thunderstorms? And the storm was expected to hit a bit away, so they felt semi safe and then it was a bit late to make plans (hotels would be full, and they're not local, so they would have to go in car to sit in parking lot up by Austin). A lot of stilt homes are rated to survive fine up to Category 3, the reporter left that out, this home was built EXACTLY to handle this so the builder bought a defective door, don't blame that on the occupants. .. . And they survived fine, 1 busted door is not deadly, they made a fine call as shown by the results. You had ZERO people die in this town and you all lecture is shouldve been evacuated, no, the facts just proved exactly the opposite. Normal people can't react in fear to everything and we just ask ok are odds of death under 1 in 100,000 and then say ok thats low. People drive cars out to restaurants when they have each year a 1 in 30000 chance of death from driving, so we DO accept risks for fun.
Knowingly, putting yourself in danger is one thing. Putting your children in danger is unforgivable.
Putting your children in danger is unforgivable? In hurricane or other times. Letting a child ride a bicycle puts them at danger. Letting a teen handle a gun to hunt puts them at danger. Stilt homes are built to survive category 3 and this storm has cat 1, no problem. Do you go to Florida for vacation, that place has highest risk of random lightning strikes so I guess we all should not vacation in Florida.. . . No one in the entire county died from this storm, it was a minor storm and houses have gotten strong. With no one dying all the 100,000 who didn't evacuate were proven right. But media likes to scare and people have gotten soft.
@@mostlyguesses8385 so that is your uneducated guess, LOL trolls
@@mostlyguesses8385 You a clown 😂 Just rent a motel lunatic and stay off the comment section .
@@punapeter ... I'm a Texan now, we know hurricanes, this was minor... The news people love to yell but locals know .. zero dead. Out of 4 million along TX coast. So they show 1 busted door and idiots think ooohhhh you should have left and also 1 million more, to avoid the zero deaths, that's illogical.
@@mostlyguesses8385 That's exactly right! You are correct. I am a native of Florida, I've lived in Florida for over 60 years and the one thing I am most afraid of here is our super dangerous lightning. We are the lightning strike capital of the world and I live near the shark bite capital of the world. So I can tell you how people die of lightning strikes here every year and I hear of multiple shark bite reports all summer every year. There are many dangers here and you don't have to stop vacationing here, just be very careful and always be aware of the dangers and risk.
If you have to build your house on 10 ft to 20 ft Stills then you should not be living there😊
100%
Why do you need a lesson first going there on vacation knowing a hurricane is coming with children there also. smh
well they're okies... duh what's an ocean?
Well don't live there. It's not like this hasn't happened before
well they're okies... duh what's an ocean?
Don't know why people think a beach house is safe when a hurricane is coming...
well they're okies... duh what's an ocean?
@@punapeter it's "that big blue wobbly thing where mermaids live." (Baldrick from "Blackadder."). 😄
OMG! That would be the last place I'd be with a hurricane coming in. To stay there was insane!
Stilt homes are made to stand up to Cat 3 storms, this Cat 1 was nothing. A bust door is not a sign the house was about to collapse and hurt people. Your kids are more at risk of dying when you choose to eat out and drive to restaurant, so you too choose risk in some cases. There is 1 in 30,000 risk of child dying in car from people driving them around, yet no one stops doing that. That's insane, driving for Happy Meal and risking your child
@@mostlyguesses8385 ok Raised on Happy Meals kevin, who has no kids.
@@punapeter ... Driving is #1 killer of kids 0 to 17. Followed by guns. And then yell at people who survive a hurricane with zero injury. Weird logic, suburbia may look safe but isn't.
@@mostlyguesses8385 Must suck to live where you do. It's safe where I live. Stay in school.
I bet kids get shot where you live it just is so common it don't make the news. But hurricanes do. It's weird we don't look up facts on risks but lecture about hurricanes. Know how many kids die from fires from furnaces and stoves?? I bet you don't but you use these. What awful parenting not even looking up risks even in age of internet. I don't care but what idiocy pretending to be wise and yelling at others. Fun.
All this dramatic reporting! OF COURSE staying that close to the water during a hurricane is a bad idea. OF COURSE things are going to be destroyed. They report as if this is so uncommon and catastrophic. OF COURSE it is! So glad no one was hurt AND learn NOT to do that again.
Could you imagine what Beryl did to those small caribbean islands. She flattened them😢
90% of St Vincent is destroyed 😢
Those kids will remember this experience the rest of their lives, it can be traumatic for them Mom, that was endangering not only yourself but them too. I'm glad y'all are okay, but don't let it happen again you might not be so lucky next time.
There has to be some construction common sense. Those homes are built right down into the sea. smh.
I knew hurricane buryl was going to happen over 2 weeks ago and nobody listened
I don’t feel sorry for these people they build right on the waters edge!!! now they’re gonna want the government to help them out
… which means that the tax payers will be subsidizing the reconstruction …
i dont get why people would buy and live in a home that close to the water? i mean every single hurricane season you have to be ready to run? always have to be ready to rebuild. it just seems dumb.
The odds of a hurricane any year about 1 in 10. Modern homes are built to defend people against up to medium storms. So maybe every 20 years theres a big storm coming in 2 days you flee from. And stilt homes are extra strong, a busted door is not a collapse of the house. More people die in inland areas from tornadoes so the coast literally is safer, you gotta check the numbers not just go by scary news stories. The north has people locked inside 6 months and they have heart attacks come spring so big picture the coast is safer place than Iowa or Pennsylvania. I live in Kemah Houston and we also had the extreme high winds and no one died, and now tomorrow we will have paradise again. To accept fear and live in the cold north, when the numbers also are against you, is not wise. But people like to tell others to be wise, its pretty funny. My own family will die fat and sad in Minnesota, and I was raised there but that's a less worthy life when so much time is spent a prisoner. So yes people should live in the warm areas even if 1 in 100,000 may die.
Your and my tax pay for disaster repairs probably
There are no "iconic" homes in Surfside. The only "iconic" home ever built in Surfside was the octagon house, and that got blown away years ago, along with the Surfside pier.
Sure hope the "iconic" restaurant Red Snapper Inn will be back up and running again someday.
Wanna live on water well gotta pay! Isn't Free.😂😂
You should have your parent license revoked. Put your kids thru that right on the beach. You really should b put in jail for child endangerment. Pitiful parenting.
Prayers
Those homes have no place to be there. How dumb.
Yes, I must say living in Houston is a risk..every hurricane 🌀 season you have to cross 🤞🏿 your fingers and toes that we don't get hit 🎯...While we still wait for power to be restored..I thank God every one is ok
Center Point Energy is never ready for the storms. Now a lot of people are suffering in the heat
Mother Nature will humble you and make you rethink your life choices!
… second verse … same as the first … and on, and on … and the beat goes on …
For me the climate is changing now i think its not safe anymore to builds a house close to the ocean its not just this country the water is rising either fire or flooding or turnado
Strong Captain Dan vibes right there bud
Those iconic homes have been begging to be destroyed for a long time now 😂
1:14 this is why emergency services aren't available till after the storm 🌀
Those people aren’t from the beach and it shows. Leave it to the Okies.
Evacuation??why not???
Terrible announcers voice😳
What is WRONG with people???!!
YOU KNIW theres a Hurricane coming...
EVALUATE IF YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN, DON'T BE THST stupid as to put ANYONE , including yourself/ Your Family in Hsrms Way !! SMH. ....
West Texas has more tornadoes, you should leave and not put your family at danger. Montana has no storms. Stop putting your children at risk. No one died from this hurricane so why are people lecturing like thousands died. Stilt homes are made to survive and it did. Why do people like to lecture based on no knowledge?
Reporter was a bit wacky. what is "over washed". why is A frame deemed historic, was it made in 1950? No, its from 1990s.
Just given some free advice, why would you put all your eggs in one basket on a beach that gets hurricanes? You might not get them all the time, but your A-frame is literally in the ocean during high tide. You couldn’t really expect it to survive. Anything significant would you? So building a city in a bowl like New Orleans is dumb you know building cities on fault lines in California. It’s dumb Building a house in the ocean and expecting it to survive is dumb.
Yes most stilt homes are made to survive a Cat 3 hurricane. This stilt home was fine, 1 door failed. Hurricanes happen once every 10 years to a Texas town, and big hurricane 1 time every 40 years. Compare to winter which strike every year in the North and locks its people up 6 months. No one should live in the north by these numbers. But we need idiots to man the farming areas so keep thinking hurricanes are super scary.
That reporter should have stopped in at the neighborhoods of Sleepy Hollow and Columbia Lakes on her way back to Houston and really got her eyes opened !
Sir what you emergency ive fallen and cant get up. Sir all service are suspened. Your on your oun . Thank you have a good day.
Please please did beyonces mom get that insurance check for her house she didn’t want?
Hurricanes are nothing new on the coast of many states and yet people still build homes on the coast.
Stop building homes ten feet from the gulf and walla! No destroyed home. Imagine that. Beaches with no houses or condos to get destroyed by a hurricane. I am not even a genius and can figure that out.
The stilt house survived fine. 1 door failed. House will be occupied in 1 week. Most houses survive up to big hurricanes now, which happen to a place once every 30 years.
Exactly. It's insane people still build on the beach. Even in houston on the northside I wouldn't live just cause the hurricanes are f*kin annoying. Glad I'm 200 miles west now.
With respect, it seems not sound to say no one should build on beach cuz a fraction of homes are lost ... We can see on satellite and run from a Cat 4 or 5 so no one will be harmed, and small ones 1 to 3 are survivable by stayin (roof torn off don't kill ya). So that leaves money, are enough homes destroyed it is high cost? I'd guess 300,000 live within 1 mile of ocean in Texas, and maybe hurricane cat 4 and 5 comes once a decade, and ruins maybe 30,000 homes (so 3000 a year). This via math is 3000/300,0000 yearly so at $300k each home is $900m annual ins cost /300,000 homes is $3000. So the 300,000 each pay $3000 yearly insurance. This seems a fair affordable price. Basically 1% risk of losing home a year, so 1% of house value is the ins cost.... One could say due to tornados no one should live in Midwest , right???? At least there's a nice beach in TX, there is nothing in Kansas we should remove all people from Topeka??? Actually a tsunami is due for Hawaii and West Coast they too should be removed? Skipping facts and just focusing is not good analysis... Or I could be wrong, just wanted to raise the issue. Midwest is cold and awful, even if South is costly do we put cost above pleasure always???
@mostlyguesses8385 that depends. Do you have enough money to take the risk and not have it harm your finances? Insurance is only required when making a payment monthly. If owned outright then payment to an insurance company could be invested to make money not just give a company your money at a net monthly loss. Insurance is a scam. Instead the law should dictate capital earning on investment to cover cost of say a car wreck. It would be a way to increase the wealth of the entire nation. Instead law dictates you give that money to a wasteful corporation each month. Democrat policy. Keep the populace poor with no investment into capital resource so they own you financially.
Sople still buying there. So ridiculous
That's that karma for you they hated nyc so badly nature finds a way to equalize
If I didn’t live on the island east of surfside, we wouldn’t have been here. (We live north of the seawall) Once our mayor issued voluntary evacuations on the west end of the island, vacationers and those in RV’s here were packing up and leaving.
I’m pretty surprised the owner of the house for the family they interviewed didn’t insist these people leave before the storm hit. Word here was surfside had mandatory evacuations. 🤷♀️ idk jmo
I suspect the stilt home was rated to survive a Category 3. And it did survive fine, 1 door failed. News media keeps yelling for evacuations but no one who stayed died, isn't that weird, zero died and still they frame the people as dumb for staying. So against all evidence they still push for evacuation. Modern homes can survive fine a Cat 1 and Cat 2, at least the structure stays and people just get bit wet. Kids will be fine, we had a few house fires and its just a fun story we re-tell.
Lmao 😂 they had plenty of time to leave smh they chose to stay there so 🤷
I bet they're pro life but put their Kids in that danger. Where is cps???
Terrible.
Beachfront bargain hunt
Living this close to a beach in general is just asking for this lol i think we need to value common sense over luxury and stop building houses so close to jist be destroyed by the ocean in a few years. Its not an if its a when . Its going to happen sooner or later. Why do it .
Huh?

Off topic. This is about weather.

People that put their homes in these locations pretty smart, not🤣🤣🤣🤣 and, causing the insurance rates across the country to rise from poor decisions like this.. stupid is as stupid does. Don’t ask for sympathy from me.
