Florida is no stranger to hurricanes. Between Ian, Irma and Andrew in recent years, the people of Florida are as well adjusted to natural disasters as any group on Earth. So when Hurricane Idalia made landfall this week, the people of Florida were ready; once again reminding the world why the stereotype of Florida man exists.



From surfers to kayakers to cyclists, Florida men produced plenty of viral videos from Irma’s record-breaking 8-foot surge. So in honor of the Florida man, here are some of their best – and craziest – storm-defiant moments from the past few hurricane seasons.
