Shirtless Florida Man returns to greet Hurricane Laura in Louisiana, see the latest video

He did it again.

Lane Pittman, a Jacksonville, Florida-native who found internet fame after filming himself in 2016 half-naked, with his red hair blowing in the winds of Hurricane Matthew while holding a U.S. flag, made a "last-minute" decision to hunt down Hurricane Laura in Louisiana.

Pittman told the USA Today Network that he left his home on Wednesday afternoon and got a few hours of sleep at a friend's house in Pensacola. A friend who served as his camera operator woke up at 3 a.m. and headed for Louisiana, less than two after the storm made landfall in the state.

"Chased ole’ Laura down! We went through the eye," Pittman said in a message to the USA Today Network. "It was pretty wild. Def haven’t done that before." 

Pittman said this year's video was filmed in the northern part of the state, likely near .

"I think it was a Cat 1 by the time we caught it," Pittman said.

Videos of Pittman headbanging to hurricanes get filmed about once a year. In the first year, he headbanged to Hurricane Matthew and the next year, Hurricane Irma, both times in Florida.  In 2018, he was filmed in North Carolina during Hurricane Florence and in 2019 in South Carolina during Hurricane Dorian.

This year, he decided against using the famous Slayer track "Raining Blood," opting to headbang to "It’s Caution: Dangerous Curves Ahead" by Alabama metal band Maylene and the Sons of Disaster.

The video of Pittman in Louisiana received more than 4,000 views in the first hour of it being posted to Twitter. Over time, his previous videos have received millions of views online, but the view count isn't what drives him to venture into the storm.

"Videos like this are something that anyone can laugh at and have a good time," Pittman told the USA Today Network in 2018. "Whether you think it’s awesome, or I’m an idiot, at least you’re getting some comedic relief."
