VIDEO: Concerned Reporter Provides Shocking Update On Stubborn Tampa Resident Lieutenant Dan After He Refused To Leave His Boat During Hurricane Milton Despite Stern Warnings
Lieutenant Dan, the Tampa Bay man who went viral after refusing to leave his boat ahead of Hurricane Milton, has survived.
The authorities had urged Lt. Dan to vacate the area where his sailboat was docked before the approaching weather system, but he decided against leaving despite fears over one of the worst hurricanes in history hitting Florida on Wednesday.
It turns out he was alive and well as of late Wednesday night, with NewsNation’s Brian Entin providing an update via a recording after things died down.
“I’m fine,” he insisted.

“He was passed out 🤣He came out looking around like, is it here yet?” someone joked in the comments.
“And at least $20K richer from his GoFundMe that can go towards paying off his legal fees from where he recently served time in prison. He played you guys like a violin 🎻.” another user said.
