Florida Man Was Forced To Strap Down The Entire House, Here’s What Happened

A resident has strapped down his entire home as Hurricane Milton rips across Florida, and multiple confirmed deaths have occurred.

Orlando, Florida resident Pedro Casares appears to have taken some extreme steps before to Hurricane Milton’s 100 mph winds hitting the city.

A St. Lucie Fire District representative told NBC that two persons have perished as a result of the Category 5 storm.

Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida has since stated that 19 tornadoes have been confirmed in the state.

SeaWorld, Universal Orlando, and Walt Disney World’s theme parks closed on Wednesday, and they’re expected to close again on Thursday.

Pedro, on the other hand, has secured the ground and the roof of his one-story home with six massive yellow straps.

Following the publication of a picture of the house on X by Spectrum Bay News 9, one viewer reacted to it as “the most Florida thing ever.”

“Everyone is laughing now, but 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, this man will be a legend,” another commenter said.

A third said, “He’s thinking outside the box; we need more people like him.”

A terrifying video of the hurricane has gone viral online, prompting Tampa Mayor Jane Castor to encourage residents to stay indoors.

“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,” she said during a press conference.

“We were very fortunate not to see the storm surge that was predicted, which is one of our blessings.”

However, it’s not finished. Rivers will flood as high tide arrives.

“People in the midst 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,” the US National storm Center continued.

“Then, the rain and winds start up again, but from the opposite direction, just as quickly.”

Disney would lose $150 million to $200 million (£114 million to £152 million) in the current fiscal quarter due to the Walt Disney World park shutdown, according to a Forbes report, while travelers are still stranded.

The financial behemoth Goldman Sachs has predicted a 6% drop in tourism due to the weather, according to the publication.

The following is the outcome for those that came up with the most inventive ways to survive Hurricane Milton:
