KEY WEST, Fla.
—
If a hurricane is barreling toward you, it's obviously not the best time to visit a tourist attraction and take some photos.
According to ABC News, a livestream at the Southernmost Point Buoy captured video of a man snapping pictures of the landmark as waves crashed around him – and then into him, soaking him and knocking him to the ground.
Apparently, he wasn't the only one braving the surging waters. Other videos and screenshots purportedly from the same livestream circulated on social media.
