A man in Florida found himself needing to strap down his whole house; here’s the story.

Hurricane Milton Hits Florida

As Hurricane Milton tears through Florida, a resident takes extraordinary steps to secure his home. Tragically, several fatalities have been confirmed.

Drastic Measures in Orlando

Pedro Casares from Orlando has strapped down his entire one-story house with six massive yellow straps. This preparation comes as Milton strikes the city with gusts reaching 100 mph.

Fatalities and Tornadoes

Officials report two deaths linked to the Category 5 storm, according to a St. Lucie Fire District spokesperson on NBC. Additionally, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has confirmed 19 tornadoes across the state.

Theme Parks Close

Major attractions like SeaWorld, Universal Orlando, and Walt Disney World closed on Wednesday. They expect to remain shut on Thursday as well.

Online Reactions

One viewer called Pedro’s house “the most Florida thing ever” after Spectrum Bay News 9 shared a photo on X. Another commenter joked, “Everyone is laughing now, but this man will be a legend when all the other houses are floating away, and he’s in his new living room swimming pool watching TV powered by a Starlink terminal.”

“He’s thinking outside the box; we need more folks like him,” a third person added.

Safety Advisories

Tampa Mayor Jane Castor urged residents to stay indoors as spooky videos of the hurricane circulate online. “Please stay inside until we can assess the damage and ensure it’s safe for you to return,” she stated at a press conference.

One silver lining is the absence of the predicted storm surge, which saved many homes. However, Castor warned, “It’s not over… high tide will bring flooding.”

The Nature of Hurricanes

The US National Hurricane Center explains that during a hurricane, people often marvel at how the fierce winds and rain can suddenly cease when the eye passes overhead. However, the storm quickly resumes, this time from the opposite direction.

Economic Impact

According to Forbes, Disney may face losses between $150 million to $200 million (£114 million to £152 million) this fiscal quarter due to park closures. Moreover, investment firm Goldman Sachs anticipates a 6% decline in tourism linked to the storm.

Creative Survival Strategies

Here’s what people are doing with the wildest ideas to survive Hurricane Milton.
