Replying to a redditor:

> While filming the hurricane scene in "Forest Gump" how long did you have to hang on to that pole?

> Hello Everybody! I was up there for quite a while. It was a night of filming, they had giant fans blowing at me a DC9  jet engine blowing at me and a huge water cannons spraying water at me. So, of course, I was strapped in with a harness up on that mast because during all that they were also rocking the boat up and down. So it was fun a tiring night, but a great scene.
