Mohammed Nijem, a resident of Tampa, found that strapping his home down with six yellow straps that extended from the ground to the roof was the best way to keep it from being damaged by the hurricane. His decision went viral.
Local news outlet Spectrum Bay News 9 covered the story and shared a photo of the bizzare sight along with the caption: ‘Viewer Mohammed Nijem is getting prepped for Hurricane Milton,’.
Many people on social media are interested in learning whether his unconventional approach was successful.
One person wrote ‘This is the most Florida thing I’ve ever seen,’ while another shared ‘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,’.
Another said Bro secured his house like a piano when moving. Absolute legend.’
Authorities issued a mandatory evacuation for 11 counties in Florida – so around 5.9 million people.
