Local media outlet Spectrum Bay News 9 posted a photo on October 9 of Tampa, Florida resident Mohammed Nijem stretching heavy ropes to reinforce his roof ahead of Hurricane Milton. The photo has since garnered about 2 million views.

In the photo are yellow wires stretched at both ends and plugged into the ground, to reinforce the one-story house.

This reinforcement method has received mixed reviews. Some have called it “genius,” while others are skeptical, arguing that the cables could cause more damage if they were blown off the ground. Some have pointed out that the straps need to be twisted to prevent vibration.

Social media users hope to see updated photos after the storm to compare whether the homeowner's solution worked.

Heavy rain, strong winds as Hurricane Milton hits Florida

Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida on Friday evening as a Category 2 storm with winds of around 105 mph. Officials said the storm was still bringing “devastating rains and damaging winds.” Flash flood warnings were issued in Tampa Bay, where the rain was expected to continue for several more hours, according to CNN.

Storm surges of several inches were reported in parts of southwest Florida, particularly where Milton made landfall, including the Florida cities of Venice, Fort Myers and Naples. The storm also left more than 1 million Florida homes without power.

Officials in St. Petersburg, Florida, have cut off drinking water service throughout the city in response to a water main break. Also in the city, a construction crane collapsed, with no injuries initially reported.
