A shed near the Southernmost Point Buoy in Key West, Florida has now become internet famous and garnered a name.
“Fred the Shed” as his youtube fans have dubbed him, is a yellow shed situated next to the large, painted buoy that marks the southernmost point in the continental United States. His followers are cheering him on in the hopes that Fred can handle the winds and storm surge from Hurricane Irma as the storm approaches the Keys Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Fred lives! This verified photo shows the storm damage to the bouey and wall, but Fred .. is still standing.
We did find video of “Louie the Bouey” that shows some damage from the surge and waves.
