Shirtless Florida Man Travels To Myrtle Beach To ‘Fight’ Hurricane Florence Along With The American Flag

I’m not saying this is smart (it’s not), but I’m also not denying the entertainment value.

Floridians are notoriously cocky when it comes to hurricanes. Our weather is kinda wack anyway. One second it can be sunny, two minutes later you have a torrential downpour with 20 mph winds, and a few minutes later it’s like it never happened. (That happened to me and my friend last week. We sat outside to eat cake and sip coffee and OUT OF NO WHERE, downpour. Soggy cake, anyone?)

We face hurricanes a lot. It’s funny– every time there’s a hurricane REMOTELY in our area, my family from New Hampshire calls to check on us. I never realized how big of a deal hurricanes were to people who don’t have to deal with them every year. Around here, we have hurricane parties, if that tells you anything.

That brings me to this. Some dude from Jacksonville Beach, Florida (OF COURSE he’s from Jax Beach. OF COURSE) decided to drive down to Myrtle Beach to face Hurricane Florence’s winds with his bare chest, because he’s “free and American.”

He started a GoFundMe and wrote, “Pay for my gas/coffee and I’ll go fight Hurricane Florence. MERICA BABY!!! We stick together.” He exceeded his $150 goal, raising $847.

“Just being free and American. I don’t let nothing oppress me, especially no dang, freaking hurricane,” he told Fox Business Network reporter Kristina Partsinevelos.

No dang freaking hurricane will boss him around. ‘MERICA USA USA USA! That quote of his will go down in history, right along the great quotes of Abraham Lincoln. I’m sure of it.

He’s pulled these sort of stunts before in the past. It’s kind of his thing. But OF COURSE he’s from Florida. SMH.
