It's just another day on the set of Chicago's "WGN Morning News."

No, they didn't hang up on Oprah again. But Friday morning, as the WGN crew reported on extensive flooding in south suburban Chicago, anchor Robin Baumgarten couldn't help but point out an unmistakable giant statue of The Incredible Hulk towering over the backyard of one home.

Just seconds after the WGN chopper focuses its live shot on the "Hulk," its apparent owner comes charging out from his home to send a message to the station's viewers: This storm's got nothing on us.

"Safest house in town!"
