A dad from Florida was determined to save his home from Hurricane Milton, using an impressive sandbag shield, and the footage went viral on TikTok.
Scarred by the destruction of Hurricane Ian, which tore across the state in 2022 and destroyed their home, Guy Lollino made sure the family did not suffer the same fate. “Not today,” wrote Nicolette Lollino (@nlollino), 25, as she shared her father’s creative solution. He constructed a protective barrier of sandbags around their Vanderbilt Beach home.
The video garnered more than 1.5 million likes and over 27.9 million views, with viewers marveling at the dad’s ingenuity. “The house was dry after Hurricane Milton; there ended up being about 2 feet of water outside,” Lollino told Newsweek, praising her dad’s successful preparations.
