Wow! Incredible. In some of those other pictures you can see that the windshield is gone! Blew out I guess. Took some force to do that.

The rest of that gallery looks like bombs went off.

Damn what a mess!!

No build sheet on the tank and it sucked the licence plate right off of it.
That close to the beach, I wonder how deep the water was?

I hope he had insurance on the vette.

Looks like it was a sweet ride before the storm.

I will have some of mine when I get back into St. Bernard. It should not be as bad as that, but I am waiting to see the flood damage.
