Jack Doherty got a taste of Mother Nature’s wrath last week.

The YouTube star was forced to pack up all his belongings after his Fort Lauderdale home was completely flooded amid our torrential downpour that caused massive gas shortages, chaos and misery.

On his Instagram, the 19 year old social media phenom documents his own personal disaster as he walks ankle deep in his spacious home.

But the Long Island born teen’s biggest loss was outside: A brand new royal blue Lamborghini that he purchased just two weeks before the deluge.

In a subsequent update, the mega influencer shows his millions of followers (8.9M on TikTok) that the luxury supercar was towed back to the dealership.

As for his crib, Doherty is moving out. You see all his stuff packed up in storage containers as giant vacuums attempt to suck up the filthy water from the floors.

One bright spot: After just two weeks of ownership and roughly driven only 200 miles, that bad boy (price tag: $200,000 and up) is most definitely still under warranty.
