Irma causes tree to fall on a dad's rental house, he hollers accordingly
Watch Next

When Hurricane Irma knocks a tree onto your rental house, you hoot and holler.

At least that's what Irma's latest hero John Nahabedian's dad did. Screaming almost unintelligibly at the top of his lungs, he describes the way the tree crashes into his house: "If you look way up yonder there by the chimney, yeah you can see where it just knocked that whole thing off." And see where it knocked that whole thing off, we sure can.

Now we know the proper protocol if we ever have a situation like this to react to. Thank you for your service, our nation's new Yosemite Sam.
