Hurricane does not stop intrepid raccoon from raiding the bird feeder
Watch Next

There's a certain level of preparation that's become standard with hurricanes. Making sure there's enough food is typically close to the top of the list.

This raccoon apparently neglected its hurricane prep trip to Walmart when Hurricane Dorian came rolling through Longs, South Carolina last week. Trying to scrounge up some food, it clings to a bird feeder dangling from a tree as the wind blows it every which way.

It's not the first trip the raccoon has made to the bird feeder. According to the video description, the raccoon shows up daily to get its paws on some bird food. With this kind of determination, we're sure the little guy will be back again soon.

It may have gotten wet, but let's at least hope it didn't go home hungry.
