Remember Florida Man? Well, he's back and showing Hurricane Florence exactly who's boss
If you want to see a video showing Murica's defining moment after Hurricane Florence made landfall, then you're in luck. Internet users made sure that Lane Pittman – the man who became a viral sensation in 2016 and was dubbed The Florida Man for holding a US flag and headbanging while standing in the strong winds – was in Myrtle Beach when the latest storm hit the coast.
In spite of the authorities urging everyone in the area to evacuate, or at least stay in a secure area of their own home, Pittman was seen holding the flag proudly and battling the 85mph winds as heavy metal music blasts in the background.
Florence was forcast to make landfall in the beginning at or near Myrtle Beach but ended up landing more north than was originally projected. The hurricane's raging winds and rainfall ended up being the perfect stage for Pittman to take on the storm. Fox News reported that the video went viral on Twitter with more than 6,000 views in less than three hours.
