    But one person's unconventional hurricane prep is going viral.

    Spectrum Bay News 9 took this photo of a house that is literally strapped down:

    The picture quickly went viral with people wondering if it was actually genius or not.

    "Concrete anchors in the ground, this is sick actually," one person said.

    "I am intrigued. I am not judging. I’m genuinely fascinated," another person said.

    Twitter: @JesseWFAA

    Everyone seems to have an opinion on this house.

    "Yeah, that'll show the storm," this person joked.

    Twitter: @philenespanol

    "As much as I hate Florida, I love Florida," another person commented.

    Ultimately, one thing is for sure: we need a post-storm update about what happens.

    no it will not. water is one of the strongest elements . the ground will become saturated, the spikes will loosen up , and the rest will be history.
