Authorities say they offered evacuation help to a Tampa, Fla., resident who recently went viral on TikTok for not leaving his sailboat ahead of Hurricane Milton — but he is staying put

Malinowski, now known on TikTok as “Lieutenant Dan,” recently moved to Florida and lives on his 20-foot sailboat at the Tampa Bay Harbor. He said he has been homeless for the past 10 years — living on the streets, on his scooter and now on his sailboat.
