Hurricane Milton was ripping through Florida with fierce winds reaching up to 100 mph, causing major destruction. But in Orlando, Pedro Casares decided to try something different to protect his home.
While most people were boarding up windows and moving to safer places, Pedro fastened six huge yellow straps from the roof of his one-story house straight down to the ground. It was a bold, unusual move that caught the attention of many.
When Spectrum Bay News 9 shared a photo of Pedro’s strapped-down house on X (formerly Twitter), people couldn’t stop talking. One commenter joked, “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.”
Unfortunately, Hurricane Milton has already claimed two lives, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis confirmed that 19 tornadoes have torn through the state. Theme parks, including Disney World, are closed, and the financial losses from the storm could reach $200 million.
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor urged everyone to stay indoors while the damage is being assessed. The US National Hurricane Center also warned people about the deceptive calm during the eye of the storm, reminding them that the worst could still be coming.
In the midst of the chaos, Pedro’s innovative idea has made him a hero in the eyes of many. As the storm rages on, people are waiting to see if his clever solution will be enough to save his home from the hurricane’s destruction.
