This amazing Texan started a dance battle in the middle of Hurricane Harvey

Nothing can stop this guy's sweet moves.

In times of darkness, even the smallest ray of light can lift your spirits.

That's what Deandre Wilson, a man from Austin, Texas, has given us. Wilson posted a video of himself dancing on Sunday while Harvey was blanketing his area with rain -- and he even incorporating the water into his moves.

Honestly, we are impressed.

After Wilson's cousin posted the video with the caption, "Somebody get my cousin, he think he in 'Stomp the yard,'" others decided to join in on the fun. The result was a pretty epic dance battle via Twitter.

Each dancer brought their own unique spin to using the rain, and it's very hard to pick a favorite.

It might not seem like much, but many Twitter users commended Deandre for bringing about some small amount of joy into their lives during an otherwise stressful and scary time.

Move over singing in the rain, now it's all about dancing.
