You wouldn’t believe the surprises Hurricane Milton keeps throwing our way! It started off as this small, tightly wound storm, but now it’s turned into a massive beast, intensifying faster than in recorded history. It’s got everyone on edge, especially in Tampa Bay, where over 3 million people are bracing for a dangerous surge of water. It’s a flood-prone area, so the stakes are high. As the hurricane developed, the unusually warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico helped it gain strength.

Then, it expanded even more through something called eyewall replacement. But here’s where it gets interesting: amidst all this chaos, a runner surprised everyone! Citius Mag shared a wild video on X, showing a reporter discussing the hurricane while, in the background, this jogger is just running along in sports shoes, totally unfazed by the weather. The caption? “Your run streak isn’t that important.” How true!

In the video, you can see this Florida man jogging in the hurricane, with trees bending and water splashing everywhere. The reporter was clearly amazed, saying things like, “Wow, the Florida man right there is jogging in the hurricane. Look at the trees, Blake! You can see how windy it is; it’s coming through right now. Everybody’s just waiting to see how close the center of this storm is going to be to Tampa.” It’s a crazy scene, and the runner’s determination against the storm backdrop is both inspiring and bewildering, which leaves track and field in shock!
