​Man Headbangs To Slayer In Middle Of Hurricane Matthew

In a moment of inspirational patriotic defiance against strong winds, an American man has headbanged topless to heavy metal band Slayer while holding an American flag in the middle of Hurricane Matthew.

Lane Pittman stood in the middle of a road in Jacksonville, Florida, headbanging to Slayer's 'Raining Blood'.

He posted the video to his Facebook page on Friday and it has since been viewed more than 18 million times.

"Had a request for some hair action during the 'cane. I granted it," Pittman wrote on Facebook.

Hurricane Matthew ripped through Florida on Thursday and into Friday.

Over 150,000 people were without electricity in Jacksonville over the weekend.

It is estimated that over $6 billion of damage had been caused by the hurricane.

U.S. President Barack Obama has declared a state of emergency in the area, freeing up federal money to help the States repair damaged infrastructure and remove debris.
