‘Legendary’ man strapped house down before Hurricane Milton

Pedro Casares became an internet sensation after his creative hurricane preparations went viral.

In anticipation of Hurricane Milton, Pedro strapped down his home’s roof using a system anchored eight feet into the ground with cement.

This unconventional method intrigued many – both in real life and across the internet – and followers eagerly awaited updates after the storm, The Mirror reported.

Pedro’s daughter, Raisa, provided reassurance, revealing that Pedro’s house emerged virtually unscathed after the hurricane struck on October 10.

Raisa posted on TikTok that while the storm caused only minor damage, their home remained intact, without even a single shingle being lifted. She expressed gratitude, saying they were “very blessed” to have avoided significant harm. She also shared a video showing the minimal debris around their home, showcasing her father’s thoughtful hurricane prep in action.

Raisa noted that her father intends to keep the straps in place for the remainder of hurricane season, as Florida is still at risk for more storms. The video also captured how calm and collected the family remained, appreciating that their unique approach had worked.

The response from social media users was overwhelmingly positive. Many praised Pedro’s ingenuity and practical thinking, with one commenter calling him a “real handy man.”

Others were relieved that Pedro and his family were safe, with one remarking: “Your dad is smart. I’m happy to see you’re safe.”

Pedro’s story quickly became one of resilience and smart preparation in the face of a natural disaster.

Not only did it provide a sense of relief for those following the updates, but it also highlighted the importance of quick thinking and creative solutions in high-risk situations.

Now, Pedro’s iconic roof straps are likely to be remembered for years to come!
