Santos’ first video, which now has almost 70 million views, read, “Category 5 hurricane, new Corvette, nine miles from the water.”
The Florida man later followed up with anotherTikTok, explaining his decision.
“If we’re gonna go north, we’re not really going to make it very far, we could probably end in a worse situation.”
He later added, “So, in terms of floating away I’m not really worried about that, it’s going to be in a garage with maybe two feet of water, max, ‘cause we’re only dealing with rainwater, not really a storm surge.”
Santos explained the car was equipped with ventilation on top, so “as it fills up with water, the air is just gonna be displaced out of the top of the plastic.”
“Y’know what?” said someone. “I’m glad you didn’t need it! It shows that you take great care of your things! We work really hard for things like this! You truly value the things you worked for in life! Good for you!”
Another expressed in disbelief, “I cant believe this actually worked.”
Others, however, still remain skeptical.
“Definitely unwrapped it before the storm even hit just to prove his point,” wrote one user.
Someone questioned, “What if he was never in the hurricanes path and we all got click baited,” mentioning that it hadn’t even looked as if it’d rained.
Santos is considered one of the lucky ones after millions were forced to evacuate from their homes on Florida’s west coast
