Natural disasters have a nasty habit of showing up where and when they aren't needed, which is every time!
However, many people prepare for the worst and hope for the best. People have bunkers in their homes to protect themselves in case of earthquakes and build houses to withstand a flood.
Unfortunately, natural disasters never announce themselves before showing up. So, this TikTok user, @dottshot, got stuck in the gym during a horrific flood.
The TikTok user, DottShot, went for a shower and waited for the rain to become a drizzle during his daily gym use.
Once he finished in the bathroom, Dott Shot prepared to leave the gym, after all the heavy rain had become a drizzle. He wasn't prepared for what he discovered.
Dott Shot left his gym, Planet Fitness, and encountered a flood. He's checked the weather report earlier and expected 5-6" of rainwater left on the ground.
The flood flowed into the gym making it more difficult for Dott Shot to stay indoors. He attempted to mitigate the situation by standing on chairs and equipment.
Dott Shot eventually stood on a Stairmaster machine and waited for the emergency rescue machine. He clarified that he didn't let the water into the gym but it seeped in.
Dott Shot could see into the parking lot and discovered his vehicle wasn't going to make it through the flood.
Instead of thinking of his problems - being boxed in a flood and losing his vehicle - Dott Shot distracted himself with TikTok videos.
He showed the aftermath of the flood showing that his vehicle wasn't the only damaged item. The gym suffered a lot alongside the cars in the parking lot no thanks to the fallen trees.
The TikToker asked other users to pitch in and help him get a new car. He hoped his video evidence proved he wasn't a phony.
TikTokers got emotional at first but said his multiple videos were overkill. Some wrote,
"Bro has made 70 videos on the flood."
He eventually deleted his other videos, leaving only two that contain footage of the flood inside the facility.
Other users made it into a joke by saying,
"He chose the hard level on the flood escape"
and
"[He's in] a Natural Disaster simulator."
He didn't think he could survive the ordeal.
His entire account had seven videos all about the flood, but it's recently been reduced to two.
