Man finds tiny frogs hiding in wind chimes from Hurricane Dorian

New friends!

As Hurricane Dorian looms ever closer to making landfall in Florida, everyone is strapping down or scrambling to get out of dodge — including the local fauna.

So where does a small creature go to escape Mother Nature's wrath? Some oceanic birds like seagulls keep circling in the eye of the storm, and some animals like owls and snakes will just dig even deeper underground to escape the storm.

But some will find a more aesthetically pleasing place to hide out. Like, for example, wind chimes.

All in all, six little frogs were just chilling and waiting out the storm from the comfort of the wind chimes. Twitter agreed that this guy had to be Brother Nature, because he was certainly blessed.

As it turns out, this is normal behavior for our new amphibian friends — according to Mac, they were seeking cover, but also generally like to sleep in the chimes during the day for protection from sun, wind and excess water.

So batten down the hatches (and chimes) and stay safe out there, friends (frogs and humans alike.)
