A Florida man came up with a “smart” idea as Hurricane Dorian threatened to roll into the region.

Patrick Eldridge, of Jacksonville, told CBS News he parked his Smart car in his kitchen Tuesday morning to protect it from Dorian’s winds and flooding.

“[My] wife was impressed that I was right about it being able to fit into the kitchen,” Eldridge told the network.

His wife, Jessica, posted a series of images of the tiny black car that was parked perfectly in the room.

“My husband was afraid his car might blow away and my car is in the garage,” Jessica posted on Facebook.

The photos quickly went viral, with about 66,000 shares by Thursday morning.

It turned out that Florida mostly dodged the brunt of the storm, but it did get some strong wind gusts and heavy rain Wednesday.

So Eldridge removed the car from the kitchen and parked it back outside, video posted to YouTube by his wife shows.

The Bahamas took a beating from the storm, which left at least 20 dead and many areas in ruins.

The hurricane, newly strengthened to a Category 3 storm, began battering South Carolina on Thursday.

The system, packing sustained winds of 115 mph, is expected to unleash storm surges reaching 6 feet, as well as up to 20 inches of rain as it travels at 8 mph on a path toward North Carolina into Friday, officials said.
