Officials Tried to Help Florida Man ‘Lt. Dan’ Before Hurricane Milton, but He Refused to Leave His Boat

Before Hurricane Milton made landfall in Tampa, Florida, officials there made an effort to help a man who went by the TikTok handle “Lieutenant Dan.” The man, whose true name is apparently Joseph Malinowski, defied their attempts to disembark from his 20-foot boat and chose instead to weather the storm.

Malinowski was filmed by Terrence Concannon, who uploaded the popular TikTok on October 8 and showed him justifying his choice. Malinowski, who was inspired by the Forrest Gump character, boldly declares his belief in God in the video, saying, “God told me to come out here and acquire a boat. I’m safe with him. We’re going to get through this. He brashly said, “Hell no,” when asked if he would be donning a life jacket, stating that his yacht was the safest place for him to be.

Around 43 million people had viewed the film as of October 9, garnering both local and national interest. Authorities in Tampa were worried about his safety, but Malinowski refused to leave despite multiple attempts to persuade him. The local police said that although they would have helped, they would eventually be unable to get to him due to the storm’s increasing conditions.

Mayor Jane Castor of Tampa first said that Malinowski had been rescued and taken to a shelter during a press conference. Brian Entin, a reporter for NewsNation, swiftly refuted this, posting a picture of Malinowski remaining on his boat as evidence that he had not departed. Later on, the mayor’s office stated that Malinowski had initially decided to depart but ended up staying.

Concannon, the person who first uploaded the popular video, launched a GoFundMe page in support of Malinowski, which raised almost $23,000. The money is meant to assist Malinowski—who has been called a “modern-day pirate”—in buying a new boat because his present one has “seen better days.”

With sustained winds of 120 mph, Hurricane Milton, a Category 3 storm, was predicted to make landfall on Florida’s west-central coast as of October 9. Malinowski made the decision to stay on his boat despite several orders for the locals to leave, putting his faith and the security of his craft at risk.

The 2024 Prophecies Of Nostradamus Are Just As Terrifying As You Could Expect

As 2024 draws near, the enduring predictions of renowned astrologer and seer Nostradamus cast an ominous shadow.

For good cause, we have written a great deal about Nostradamus in the past.

His enigmatic statements, which are threaded throughout Les Propheties, have sparked curiosity about and fear for the upcoming year.

Nostradamus’s Doomsday Predictions

Nostradamus explores a pessimistic forecast for 2024 in his well-known quatrains, which are prized for their purported prophetic abilities.

Even though his predictions are shrouded in arcane language, they foretell approaching cataclysmic events.

Nostradamus predicted that by 2024, the atmosphere would be completely chaotic.

He depicts a universe in his quatrains where the planet is drying up and cataclysmic floods happen.

Nostradamus predicted that by 2024, the atmosphere would be completely chaotic.

He depicts a universe in his quatrains where the planet is drying up and cataclysmic floods happen.

These catastrophic climatic events could lead to an ecological imbalance, which could result in extreme droughts in some places.

Rather than just regular floods, a “very great famine through pestiferous wave” might indicate destructive floods that destroy crops, spread disease, and result in mass starvation.

If this forecast comes true, the environment may unleash hitherto unseen amounts of devastation, making this year extremely risky.

Russian and Chinese Navy are at odds

Nostradamus’s prophecy about a naval battle, in which the “Red adversary” would turn “pale with fear” and “put the great Ocean in dread,” has been interpreted as potentially including China.

This dire prediction could portend a significant naval conflict between China and other countries, as well as rising geopolitical tensions.

Given China’s military capability and the escalation of regional conflicts, an oceanic confrontation appears to be foretold and might have far-reaching implications for global peace.

The Royal Tumult of Nostradamus

One of the predictions pertaining to the monarchy is that a “king without the mark of a king” will be installed in place of the “King of the Isles,” who will be abolished.

These enigmatic quatrains appear to allude to significant discord within the royal family. Many believe it could be a reference to King Charles III, who resigned under intense public pressure and examination.

Future monarchy is made even more unpredictable by Prince Harry’s ascent, who is seen as being unconventional for the royal position.

The Next Generation Pope

Nostradamus predicts that due to his elderly age, Pope Francis will be superseded by a new pope.

His prediction that a younger Roman Pontiff will be elected appears reasonable at first.

However, the prophecy also says that the new pope will “weaken his see” and hold power for a little longer.

A possible interpretation of “weakening” is that the leadership of the church under the upcoming pope will result in a decline in credibility and power.

It creates the chance that scandals or disputes could break out inside the Vatican at this particular moment.

Each of these predictions points to the possibility of storms relating to the weather, politics, royalty, and religious institutions in 2024. These forecasts’ ambiguity has spurred discussion and speculation about what lies next.

Conclusion: The Unpredictability of Prophecies by Nostradamus

Nostradamus’ prophecy has enthralled readers for centuries with its forecasts of approaching political and apocalyptic events.

However, his predictions are so vague that they are subject to debate.

As the globe prepares for the coming year, these enigmatic prophesies highlight the enigmatic nature of prophecy.

Thus, exercise caution and consider them mostly a source of entertainment.
