Not to be outdone by Frying Pan Tower, a man in Myrtle Beach took to the streets to face Florence.

Lane Pittman ignored authorities and took to the street in Myrtle Beach shirtless, holding an American flag and headbanging to heavy metal music. He told Fox Business Network, “Just being free and American. I don’t let nothing oppress me, especially no dang, freaking hurricane.”

If you missed Frying Pan Tower’s patriotic stand watch now:

**Don’t try this! We urge everyone to follow the recommendations of authorities – stay inside and out of danger. Evacuate if told to do so.*
