Holly Beach community in Louisiana hit hard by Hurricane Laura

I'm 60 years old and have lived in Florida for 30 years and Gulfport Mississippi for 5 .People know we have hurricanes and yet seem surprised everytime a hurricane hits.

Prayers from Panama City, FL. These hurricanes are no joke. As a guy who stayed during Hurricane Michael, and literally witnessing somebody’s house getting thrown in the air, it’s so sad to see the destruction. In Panama City we still have a lot of damage and fallen trees not picked up. Hoping for the best for the people affected by Hurricane Laura ❤️❤️

When you build in a location like that, you KNOW it's just a matter of time.

What saved the houses was how swift the storm was.

Well you build on the water expect to get wet

They got so lucky the storm surge wasn't as bad as forcasted.

Disasters everywhere from coast to coast. Natural disaster or economic disaster...the results are the same.. Homeless people everywhere, Tents everywhere, RVs everywhere.

The wise man built his house upon the rock,the foolish built his house upon sand,so the water wash it away....

This reminds me of driving through Port St Joe upto Panama City Easter 2019. Very similar scenes to this only much worse as most of the houses on stilts were ripped apart, and for mile upon mile. I'm a Brit so we just don't have weather events like this, although we are getting pretty historic floods in places every few years as the norm nowadays but not with such widespread damage as I saw in the Panhandle after Michael tore through it. I've never in my life seen so many snapped trees either, thousands upon thousands of them, as far as the eye can see. Panama City was not a pretty sight either, so many severely damaged properties and all this was over half a year after it happened, I hope it's looking better up there now. Hats off to the southern folk that have to endure these enormous storms year in year out around the Gulf and down the Eastern Seaboard, you're a hardy lot and you're prepared to suffer greatly for that year round warmth lol!

A demolished large RV. Please explain why someone would leave a big RV in the path of a CAT 4 hurricane ? Why not hook it up and drive off ???

I'm surprised there's anything left of any trailers with those winds.

Houses on stilts with water damage is insane. Usually that takes a good sized tsunami in most parts of the world.

The only reason for a Motor Home or a trailer to still be out there during a hurricane like this got to be no money, nothing else makes any sense.

I love it when no one speaks in the background. Our eyes can assess what has happened.

Someone commented on a post yesterday, that said they were stuck in Holly Beach.. I'm hoping he got out🙏 He said at the time the water was too high to drive through 😕

Oh God bless the people of this town 🙏🏾✨

if you choose to build on an ocean front that gets storms and hurricanes...it is what it is....shrug..

Sad part is this is jus the beginning of hurricane season.... I'm sure this isn't the last one.... But I'm definitely hope so enough destruction

Prayers are being sent for everybody all over this world my heart goes out to those🙏🙏🙏💜💜🕊🥰❤

You know all those campers had roof leaks or they didn't want a payment.
