MIAMI, Florida -- A sign language interpreter provided a few moments of levity as Floridians prepare for one of the worst storms in its history.
The emotive interpreter flailed his hands and jerked his face as Florida Gov. Rick Scott gave a briefing on Hurricane Irma on Saturday morning.
The man, dressed in a blue suit and a dark shirt, was seen at one point sticking his tongue out with his thumbs pointed upward. During other moments he made terrified faces as Scott warned of powerful winds and deadly storm surges.
Some Twitter users expressed guilty humor over the interpreter’s show-stealing moves.
