As the tropical cyclone hit New York City and caused severe damage and massive floods, one man took the situation a little less seriously than others. Instead of panicking, he decided to make the most out of the circumstances.
In a now-viral video he posted himself on Instagram, the man can be seen calmly floating around while on top of a raft, as if he was on a summer holiday.
But wait, there’s more…
Not only is he on a raft in the middle of a flood, but he is also smoking hookah at the same time.
