The story behind the picture

Reportedly, Logan said that he and his girlfriend were tired of seeing the flag just lying out their window for months. So one day, he took it out and fastened it to a broomstick. Katelyn was reluctant to face the storm and they had stocked up beer prior to the storm and he choose the one he is holding in the picture. Evidently, the water's edge was only minutes away from his home and Logan knew it would be appropriate for a unique shot like this one. Already knowing the direction of the winds, Logan held the flag in the correct direction leading to a photo, which is viral now. Logan reportedly knew the terrain of the water's edge and has faced stormy weathers in the past so it was not very difficult for him.
