As the tweet garnered a lot of attention online, he shared photos of the tube’s residents and said they were all safe. “All the froggies are safe and accounted for,” the user wrote on Tuesday. “They found spots to hide deep inside the leafy palm fronds behind our backyard pond.”

Here are some still pics of the froggies 🐸#HurricaneDorian pic.twitter.com/sysl18NUSx

Also for those asking, all the froggies are safe and accounted for! They found spots to hide deep inside the leafy palm fronds behind our backyard pond!

The user also said she wasn’t interesting in killing the frogs, which some claimed was an invasive species.

I’m fully aware these frogs are an invasive species (a few have mentioned this) but based primarily on my inability to KILL LIVING THINGS and secondarily on them having long ago extirpated any native species in my area, I will NOT be killing any frogs. Thank you!

The user also urged people to donate for rescue operations and the rebuilding of the Bahamas, which was worst hit. The video was shared by many who had faced similar experiences, while some also cracked jokes.

Frog: Why are my ears ringing?

Didn’t the wind chimes seem to take on a different tone, like they had a frog in their throat?

That is the frog choir they sing when the wind shakes their houses. They’re quite tired of you giving the chimes the credit for all their beautiful singing

So glad they found you. I always wonder where the little animals like the frogs and birds will go during the hurricanes.

I once found a little froggie nested in between rose petals. pic.twitter.com/yyOglkR58V

Ohmygosh, so cute!!!! In my head they are all brothers and had just set out on a journey for the first time away from their home, one which will lead to -adulthood- when they sensed a storm coming and had to look for shelter. https://t.co/ebiTsfykvv

Mine have their babies in the chimes downstairs. Been bringing the family for over 20 years. They get in the downpipe & sing at night . Love seeing the new babies.

Nine counties in Florida have issued mandatory evacuation orders. They included parts of Duval County, which includes Jacksonville, one of Florida’s two biggest cities, and some areas in Palm Beach County.

The category 5 storm killed at least five people as it pounded the Grand Bahama Island for about a day. Dorian, which over the weekend became one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes on record, inundated homes with floodwater in the Abaco Islands in the northern Bahamas ahead of its expected advance on the US East Coast.
