Irma - SW Florida
Headed for higher ground but there may be an 02 vert flood car available soon. My garage elevation is about 8-9 feet above sea level in Fort Myers Beach and that may not be high enough.

Great news.We were very fortunate and blessed. Our house, Corvette and other cars came away unscathed. And we were in the direct path of Irma.
My thoughts and prayers are with those who were affected.

Thanks.
In our community of 1700 homes, other than lanai srcreens, some downed trees and filled canals, there was no reported home damage. This should make for a good marketing point for Pulte homes.

maybe the tires, front rear springs, glass what else? maybe plastic trim pieces? the corrosive nature of the water must wreak havoc on everything else.
