As Hurricane Milton approached, Santos shared a video on TikTok showing how he carefully covered his car.
Santos’ first TikTok video has nearly 70 million views. In it, he said, “There’s a Category 5 hurricane, I have a new Corvette, and I’m just nine miles from the ocean.”
His post quickly went viral, gaining millions of views. However, many people were skeptical of his plan.
Critics flooded the comments, wondering why he didn’t just drive the car away from danger.
Some jokingly suggested that he was merely gift-wrapping his car for the storm.
Despite the backlash, Santos remained confident in his decision.
He later posted an update video after the storm, revealing that his Corvette was unharmed and in perfect condition.

“We’re actually in Palm Beach on the East Coast, so it doesn’t really make sense for us to evacuate.
“If we’re gonna go north, we’re not really going to make it very far, we could probably end in a worse situation,” he said in a video.
He reassured viewers that he was not worried about his car floating away.
Santos had planned to keep the vehicle in a garage, which might get a couple of feet of rainwater at most.
He explained that the plastic wrap had ventilation, allowing air to escape as water filled up inside. This setup was meant to keep his car safe during the storm.

Comments shifted from criticism to support.
As the storm passed, many of the initial doubters changed their opinions.
Some viewers expressed relief that Santos’s car remained undamaged. Others praised him for taking care of his belongings.
Can’t be annoyed at someone who takes the initiative and thinks outside the box – I bet it was a lot of effort too, one user said.
Id like to know how was his car. He was protecting something he worked very hard to get, the second user commented.
Sounded smart to me, another wrote.
He’s a smart man. If I had used that wrapping technique, I’d probably have a Corvette now instead of six kids, someone said.
I dont understand, why are there any haters? Seems to be like a smart idea, another said.
