Thank you Mark. This has become kind of a specialty of yours and it's good that people can see the amount of true destruction when the news media is busy gloating about how little destruction and loss of life there was. It's amazing that some structures survived mostly intact while other apparently similar structures next door were decimated. I hope engineers are studying what caused the difference so future homes can be built to withstand 150 mph storms. I like the way you did this with no commentary, just letting the destruction speak for itself in respect for those affected by this destruction. You have performed a service for mankind. Now go have some fun.
We're going to start seeing Mark like Jim Cantore...
*Monika:•*• How is this a platform for either your politics or your hate? You are really an ugly person.
@*Monika:•*• That was a bizarre unhinged and counter-productive post showing the side you oppose that they are correct when they label detractors crazed, rabid haters without a brain.
Pro tip: take your own side in a dispute. Trump supporters should have to prove their own case without your help.
And keep your filthy politics out of a paramotoring video comment section.
He sure did.
The freeway cement pillars in the street give you a real idea of how powerful this storm was. Crazy.
The damage is terrible.
I wish the victims and their families a quick recovery.
Ain't going to be quick. But they will recover.
OMG,,,what devastation, they said in the Billions to rebuild, even the houses on stilts took a hit. Thanks for those cam shots, alot more detail than what i saw on the News Media.. You and your Paramotors buddies stay safe out there. and flying "barefoot" ?? watch your landings... thanks, Mark. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the ride along Mark. WOW, The power of wind and wave hey. Sorry to see so much damage. Beach combing for goodies looks like fun though. Cheers, Jerry
Best video documentation of Laura's wrath I've seen so far! Prayers for all impacted by this event.
That was some great aerial footage Mark! What I don't understand is why people build cheap and 'cute' traditional homes in hurricane and tornado alleys. In 15-20 years, this area will be rebuilt similarly and get the smack again. Insanity.
15 yrs ago in sept Rita wiped all homes clean
Absolutely amazing (but sad)! Some beach houses look untouched, while the rest was blown away!
Thats really sad to see ! Thanks for the great footage ! 👍
Good vid. I worked in Cameron for 10 years b4 we had to close our base just last year. Eerie seeing the whole town destroyed like that. Was kinda hoping y'all had gone down the road where the base was to see what was left but I think y'all stopped just short of it and headed back into town from the video footage. Either way, thanks for the clips. DD
Wow, like everyone else said. One house looks untouched and the one right next to it is completely gone, nothing but a slab!
I live 20 miles away. Lake Charles was always our home when our side(Texas side) got hit. God Bless them.
Wow! Thank you for this! So sad!
Sad, thanks for sharing !!
You got knowledge and courage.
Beautiful video yet sad to see so much destruction. The houses on stilts seemed to have faired better than others which have been totally blown away. Thank you for sharing.
Man that's crazy, the concrete freeway dividers blown around really blew me away.
Water is very powerful.
It looks devastating. Nice video mark.
Intense. Not saying anything while recording made it more intense, until your camera started whistling towards the end. All the carnage sucks but the flight must have been a whole new level.
I worked in Cameron and it was already destroyed from Hurricane Katrina and Rita. I can see the trailers where I slept, what's left of them. It looks like the church survived again!
this is very sad incident. and prayers to those impacted families. I am wondering if people here were alerted , did they escape safely , lot many questions.this looks terrifying .Thanks Mark for sharing this.
As always real and unfiltered!
Amazing footage.
Proud of you Mark
I’ve driven through a lot of these parts of Texas. It’s astonishing that anyone would build 7 feet above sea level, encouraged by insurance companies I imagine.
How was it east of Cameron... That's where the highest surge and damage would of been?
Wow Mark, a few really well built structures on stilts and nearly all built on the ground were swept away. Hopefully a stilt requirement for rebuilding. Wonder how many people "rode it out" and their thoughts now?
That's crazy man!!
This footage. Of a very small place in cam'ron but the city of lake charles looked like this just more over two months later it still looks like a bomb went off here it's crazy
150 to 185 mph winds takes no prisoners also there were concrete slabs that looked like nothing had ever been built there, but the truth is Laura wipe them completely clean....also noticed some of the older homes seem to fair better than new ones that had structural steel in place..again Laura's winds peeled them back like sardine cans...absolutely no problem for total devastation from this storm....sheese...great video!🤠🤠🤠
Wow! Devastated, to see that much loss. Been through several of those, in my life, starting with Camille, back in 69, and not by choice, mind you. Thanks for sharing this with us, but get some shoes on. You never know when you'll have an engine out, and have to put down on ground that could by hiding glass shards, or nails. Right?
What insane shots you were able to document. Prayers to all!
Donating a penny does more good than a million prayers.
Over here in europe we can not even imagine how much wind that must have been. How can you recover from that? a sad sight....
Hurricane Rita in 2005 wiped out ALL beach homes ... ALL... These were all newer since then and higher
Have seen where not all of these homes were on stilts.
It will be quite a while before things are back to what will probably be a new normal. Hoping the best for all.
It's so sad to see the utter devastation, hope you all build back stronger after this.
I can appreciate your sentiment, but I'm hoping folks have more sense than to rebuild in such a dangerous location.
@@rustyicepick8462 There is no safe spot to build anywhere in this country. All locations have danger.
@@philgiglio7922 I hear ya Phil. I live in Ca. and used to dream of building a cabin in the woods when the back-to-the-land thing was happening here. I'm glad I didn't. Poor fire management, homes in the forest with poor access and drought have made living in such places foolish. So here's the problem: With danger lurking in every location (floods, fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, rising oceans, drought, etc.) how much longer will insurance companies be willing to bail us out when disaster comes? All of these disasters are going to get worse as the world heats up. Perhaps there will be new building codes and restricted building areas.
@@rustyicepick8462 The new building codes after Hurricane Andrew have helped South Florida. Now, how do we stop Louisiana from sinking?
@@philgiglio7922 On man. I don't know. It could possibly be returned to it's natural state (get rid of the levees, let the Mississippi run wild for a hundred years) but no politician would touch the cost and the dislocation of the residents. I suspect that simply ignoring the issue will result eventually in displacing the residents and businesses anyway and given time the levees will break and the Mississippi will reclaim the area once it is clear that no one wants to invest the money to save it. A tough lesson for sure. Like saying to a Californian, 'no, you can't live in the forest.'
How about Cameron?
Man the deciduous were stripped bare. It looks like fall there.
Mother Nature is the true Boogie Man...
Barefooted landings possibly painfull sometimes.
I was just thinking how bad it could be if he had to do an emergency landing/relaunch somewhere else. Like a gravel road😬
I don’t understand why people put mobile homes next to the beach???
Cameron population is around 400
Very sad for the property owners and the businesses it will take an age to repair all that.☹️🇬🇧
@5:26 an argument for building codes? That home looks untouched but otherwise, man what a mess.
9:46 building looks like it was blown into a tree... like split by the tree
10:17 How is there an RV out there? wow...
it got blown over there
My heart broke for the pelicans. Thanks, as always, for the humanitarian work and transperancy.
The dead pelicans are the most disturbing thing to me.
Imagine buying a beach house
Sad to see all house in ruins But, why anyone wants to live by coast they should know the risk of hurricane went very often
Dang..............................so much destruction!
I would be alittle worried about other search and rescue aircraft flying around out there. Get blended by a helicopter or something.
I bet Meauxs will be back I'm a month
Mother Nature is a cruel 😢 mistress. Prayers for the town folk
👍😁👍
Thats mother nature letting us know that we shouldn't be living there
Jeremy Richardson Yeah. Hurricane Rita did the exact same thing years ago. Dumb place to live.
Lol who’s just all alone in an FLA is the real question someone come get there medics
😳😳😳😳 Omg
How's Critter lol
O' wild this is enteresting i just wonder if this drone guys can go and. Help catch the devil and saved the ennocent children
It reminds me of fallout
😳
🇺🇸🇺🇸💪👀👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I would assume that all the houses completley demolished, weren't concrete block. I'm sorry but expect your house to be gone if it isn't. Its expected!!!
All the houses that survived were wooden construction. A wood structure is just as durable as concrete block, which would have been under 7 to 10 feet of water. Don't you think that would have destroyed all concrete block construction? That's why they built wooden houses on pilings. Recent construction survived because of good building codes.
The myth of the superiority of concrete block construction is not true.
Poor pelicans
Mother Nature showing that she is STRONGER THAN
BURN
LOOT &
MURDER
🙏❤🇼🇸✔
And by Mother nature, you mean the devil? God Almighty didn't do this work. This was another geoengineering experiment.
@@mdgtexas what drugs are you on lol
@@mdgtexas freak 😂
@@mark675 why y'all gotta hurt my feelings? 😆
Look up HAARP they have documentaries on weather manipulation, one mans "mother nature is another mans God" but then again most of these science fiction tards act like science is their God. Calling them on drugs because they read the bible is what is ridiculous!
And not a si gle bit of coverage of any kind of this in Australia. It's all just stupid Corona.
So Sad! Wish I could build back all their homes out of concrete structures!
Sure, let's build houses in the middle of the ocean, what could go wrong ?
Some think they're out of sight. Blue and white awning, not a coincidence.
Rich people🙄
ALQIAMAT ALLAHSWT 😇
They choose to live in a hurricane danger zone I don't feel bad for any of those people... The common sense thing is to not live in an area where you run the high probability of getting hit every year
One specific spot has a low chance of being hit every single year.
The only bad aspect is that we who live in appropriate homes in appropriate locations pay at least $1000 per year in higher insurance rates to cover these oceanfront homes. They should pay for their own risk.
@ Beach home or permanent residence, they all are in an area where the owner should have to fend for himself and not be subsidized by the rest of us. Home insurance rates in Florida are about double the national average, specifically because of hurricanes. Many companies have elected not to do business in Florida and cherry pick low risk areas. Both factors make us as high as California in home insurance rates.
Yes there is some difference in insurance rates for those more than three miles from the ocean, but it is nowhere near enough difference to keep us from subsidizing the beachfront property owners.
Legends has it that if you are early enough to the video then Mark pins your comment
That first guy taking off in the beginning is so sexy. Haha, jk. Great video man!!!
You are way too low, hit a line and you will be hurt..
He'll be more than hurt
