WATCH: Florida man suggests wild plan to fight hurricanes and goes viral

As Hurricane Dorian pummels the Bahamas and looks poised to graze the eastern seaboard with its battering winds, a Florida man says he has the solution.

In a video that now has more than 10 million views, an unidentified Florida man filmed wearing a Hawaiian shirt and speaking in a thick New England accent, explains to a Florida Today reporter how the U.S. military should intervene to stop the massive storms.

Gesticulating with his hands while standing outside of a mobile home park in Palm Bay, the man suggests ice bombs.

“I don’t see how they haven’t come up with some kinda way to combat these storms yet,” the man said. “All this warm weather and warm water. We have a Navy. Why don’t the Navy come and drop ice in the warm water so it don’t — so it can’t get going as fast as it’s going?”

Not just pinning responsibility on the Navy, the man also suggested the Air Force may have a way to fight the fury of the swirling storms.

“There’s gotta be ways to combat this, instead of just pointing at the thing and sayin’, ‘Well, now it’s getting worse,’” he says with a chuckle. “Yeah, we know it’s getting worse. But you tell us, ‘Oh it’s the warm weather. Oh, it’s the wind.’ Well we have an Air Force. Drive some Air Force planes around to get the winds going the opposite way. The Navy to go in circles, to fight it the other way.”

The suggestions by the mystery Floridian went viral, leading to other Florida men, such as former Gov. Jeb Bush and Miami-based documentary filmmaker Billy Corben, to weigh in over Twitter.

“I love my State,” said the 66-year-old Bush, who served as the Sunshine State’s governor from 1999 to 2007 and later mounted an unsuccessful bid for president in 2016.

“Donald Trump’s new FEMA administrator,” suggested Corben. Why? “Because Florida.”

Musician and actor Ice-T also joined in, adding, “This guy is a Whitehouse adviser Right?”
