Pedro Casares, who gained viral attention for strapping down his entire house in preparation for Hurricane Milton, has provided an update after the storm. Pedro, who lives in Orlando, went viral for using eight-foot-deep cement hooks and large straps to secure his home’s roof before the hurricane hit. Many people were curious to know if his unconventional hurricane prep would work.
Following Hurricane Milton’s landfall, Pedro’s daughter, Raisa, shared an update, confirming that the straps worked perfectly. She reported minimal damage to their home, stating, “Nothing, not even a shingle lifted.” She expressed how fortunate they felt, adding, “We’re very blessed.” In a TikTok video, Raisa showed that their house had only minor damage, much to the relief of those following their story.
Pedro isn’t in a rush to take down the straps just yet, as it’s still hurricane season in Florida. Social media users have praised Pedro’s quick thinking, calling him a “smart man” and a “real handy man.” People were relieved to hear that both he and his home made it through the storm safely.
With Hurricane Milton leaving widespread damage across Florida, Pedro’s creative approach has sparked interest and admiration. As residents continue to recover from the storm’s impact, Pedro’s story stands out as a success amid the chaos.
