One user commented on the video that “He’s the bloke that would go ‘abit windy aye’”.

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.
