Australian man drinks beer calmly during storm
A man sitting calmly drinking a beer while a wild, sandy storm ravages the streets around him has gone viral on social media platform TikTok .
The video posted by vzmith shows a man at the Rec Hotel bar in the city of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, calmly sitting on a stool by a barrel, while tree branches are ripped from their trunks and seats are blown over.

The video has the additional comment by the user of “Aint no 125kmh winds stopping this trooper from enjoying a frothy and a durry #fairdinkum” and has been viewed 715,000 times and with 85,000 likes.
One user commented on the video that “He’s the bloke that would go ‘abit windy aye’”.
Another said: ‘Man has absolutely seen worse. This? Just a bit of a gale!’
And another user said, “He wanted some fresh air” while one confirmed it was a “Bit of a breeze. No worries.”
The storm in which he calmly drank the beer caused havoc across Perth and Western Australia last week. Millions of dollars of damage was incurred as some described it as a ‘little tornado’, which took off roofs and resulted in damage to property across the region.
