Pedro’s daughter, Raisa, offered reassurance by sharing that their house sustained almost no damage after Hurricane Milton made landfall on October 10.
In a TikTok post, Raisa reported that although the storm caused some minor issues, their home remained intact, with not a single shingle displaced. She expressed her gratitude, stating they felt “very blessed” to have avoided major damage. Additionally, she shared a video highlighting the minimal debris around their property, demonstrating her father’s careful hurricane preparations.
Raisa mentioned that her father plans to keep the straps in place for the rest of hurricane season, as Florida is still susceptible to more storms. The video also depicted how calm and composed the family was, celebrating the success of their unique approach.
