In a viral image shared by Spectrum Bay News 9, Pedro fastened six large yellow straps from the roof of his one-story house to the ground, prompting both humor and admiration online.
One commenter joked, “Everyone is laughing now, but this man will be a legend.”
Meanwhile, the storm has claimed two lives, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis confirming 19 tornadoes. Theme parks, including Disney World, remain closed, and financial losses could hit $200 million.
