As Hurricane Milton smashes into Florida, a resident has strapped down his entire house, and several verified fatalities have been reported.
Pedro Casares, a citizen of Orlando, Florida, seems to have taken some drastic measures before to Hurricane Milton’s 100 mph winds striking the city.
Two people have died as a result of the Category 5 storm, a spokeswoman of the St. Lucie Fire District informed NBC.
Since then, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has said that 19 tornadoes have been confirmed in the state.
The theme parks at SeaWorld, Universal Orlando, and Walt Disney World are scheduled to close once more on Thursday after closing on Wednesday.
Pedro, however, has used six enormous yellow straps to secure the roof and the ground of his one-story house.
One viewer responded to a Spectrum Bay News 9 image of the house on X by calling it “the most Florida thing ever.”
Another reader remarked, “Everyone is laughing now, but this man will be a legend when all the other houses are floating down the road and he’s sitting in his new living room swimming pool watching TV powered by a Starlink terminal.”
“He’s thinking outside the box; we need more people like him,” a third person said.
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor has urged citizens to stay indoors after a horrifying video of the hurricane went viral online.
She added during a press conference, “Please stay inside until we can get out there with our teams to assess the damage and make sure it’s safe for you to go back out into your community or to re-enter your neighborhood.”
“One of our blessings is that we were extremely fortunate not to experience the storm surge that was anticipated.”
But it’s not done yet. As high tide approaches, rivers will overflow.
The US National Storm Center added, “People in the middle of a hurricane are often amazed at how the incredibly fierce winds and rain can suddenly stop and [how] the sky clears when the eye comes over them.”
“Then, just as swiftly, the rain and winds begin to blow again, but from the opposite direction.”
According to a Forbes article, Disney will lose $150 million to $200 million (£114 million to £152 million) in the current fiscal quarter as a result of the closure of the Walt Disney World park, while tourists remain stuck.
According to the publication, the financial giant Goldman Sachs has forecast a 6% decline in travel as a result of the weather.
For those who devised the most creative means of surviving Hurricane Milton, the results are as follows:
