Default IDA Corvette damage

I wonder how many Corvettes have been flooded or damaged on dealer and used car lots as well as personal cars?

Many I am sure. Looks like she came in fast with little time for people to prepare.

After Harvey here in Houston, there were huge lots full of flood cars that were towed there.

I’m in Morris county and very lucky my neighborhood was spared and my c6 was safe in my garage. Many were not that lucky. As I write this I am in downtown Milburn where many business have been wiped out, the waters receded but there is 2 inches of mud on Milburn ave. This area isn’t even that bad, Manville,Boundbrook,Cranford and Elizabeth have been devastated. 14 people have lost their lives and many people had to be rescued. Please say a prayer for all affected by this horrible storm.

I'm just West of Philadelphia and we had a LOT and LOTS of flooding, exceeded all of past limits and a few tornados. I'm lucky as I live along the banks of the Delaware River, but we're high up so nothing here, but there are going to be a bumper crop of flood cars hitting craigslist soon, Very soon !

Swamp Boys Garage on You Tube is rebuilding a Corvette. It is a father son duo in Louisiana working things out; I enjoy the Corvette part.

They were hit pretty hard by Hurricane Ida and they have posted the eight minute video of the Corvette and mostly of the Ida damage. It is in South Louisiana. Pretty good video.

BTW, they got the Corvette back from the paint shop the day before
