The footage was posted in Reddit’s “Next F****** Level” forum by David Satterfield, the owner of Deadwords Brewing Company in Orlando, Florida. It has amassed over 50,000 upvotes and more than 2,000 comments. You can watch the full video here.
Nicole made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane just south of Vero Beach on Thursday morning with sustained winds of around 75 miles per hour. As it moved through Central Florida, the hurricane weakened to a tropical storm and eventually a tropical depression; cities such as Orlando and Kissimmee experienced wind gusts of 66 and 52 miles per hour, respectively, Fox 35 News reported.
Satterfield told Newsweek that he closed his brewery last Wednesday and Thursday to “keep staff and customers safe” from Nicole.
But Satterfield was wrong.
Satterfield said he motioned toward the driver to let her know he’d come to her. But as his now-viral video shows, the driver didn’t listen. Instead, she walked onto Satterfield’s front porch and hand-delivered the package to him. After a brief exchange, the driver told Satterfield to “have a good day” and headed back to her truck.
Satterfield said he admired the driver’s “tenacity.” But he didn’t think she should’ve been out during the storm.
“As hurricanes go, this was not massive. But, during those hours, it was sketchy—certainly too sketchy to be out delivering (at least in my opinion),” Satterfield said."[M]y package of battery chargers was certainly not worth the effort and safety risk."
