GOLD. As floods hit Chicago, a news crew took to their helicopter to report live from the scene. What they didn’t expect, though, was this guy.

IF ANYONE can prevent an environmental disaster in its tracks, it’s the Incredible Hulk.

Well, sort of.

As vast floods hit Chicago in the United States, the news team at WGN’s Morning News took to their helicopter to report live from the scene in Burbank.

What they didn’t expect, though, was this guy.

Yes, that’s a giant Incredible Hulk garden statue. And yes, that’s his hilarious owner.

“Notice there’s no water in his backyard? It’s too scared (of The Hulk),” anchor Robin Baumgarten joked.
