A Florida man, known as “Lieutenant Dan,” made headlines when he chose not to evacuate ahead of Hurricane Milton, opting instead to weather the storm on his 20-foot sailboat anchored in Tampa Bay. Despite urgent warnings of dangerous storm surges and flash flooding, Dan was convinced he was following God’s will and had faith that his boat would protect him. As the hurricane unleashed 100 mph winds, torrential rains, and severe flooding, concerns for his safety grew. Remarkably, Dan emerged from the storm unharmed, later downplaying the ordeal, saying it wasn’t as bad as he had anticipated.
