Cyclone Milton is set to make landfall on the west coast of Florida on Wednesday night, with authorities anticipating substantial quantities of damage and flooding. Evacuation orders have actually been released for much of the shoreline, suggesting locals have actually left whatever they can’t take with them. In many cases, that consists of extremely pricey supercars.
Videos released to TikTok provide us a glance at the expensive high-end cars and trucks left by owners as the storm methods. The clips reveal row after row of Aston Martins, Lamborghinis, Corvettes, Ferraris, G-Wagens, Porsches, and more stowed away into parking lot and delegated take care of themselves.
The majority of the cars and trucks are the type you ‘d get out of the Florida vehicle scene– brand-new, unique, and brilliantly painted. There are a number of standouts we genuinely make it through the storm untouched, specifically the cute Fiat 500 Jolly and the flame-painted C3 Corvette.
Parking garages raised from water level aren’t the only methods supercar owners are trying to safeguard their valued ownerships. Another video released to TikTok reveals a C8 Corvette owner covering their automobile in a huge plastic bag in effort to keep it from handling flood water. Ridiculous, or genius? Just time will inform.
Some owners aren’t fortunate sufficient to have access to garages. Samcrac on YouTube released a video the other day revealing them restructuring their collection into an area on their residential or commercial property far enough from trees, so that in case of a tree falling, none of their cars and trucks are struck. Otherwise, they’ll be subjected to the complete force of the storm. We’re hoping that 599 makes it out alright.
It’s not simply supercars individuals are leaving. Owners who can’t get their automobiles into storage or out of the location have actually turned to parking their cars in other high-elevation locations, such as bridges.
WVUE Fox 8 on Facebook shared a picture of automobiles left parked on a bridge that links St. Pete Beach to St. Petersburg. Meteorologist Craig Setzer shared another image to X (previously Twitter) revealing lots of parking lot on the shoulder of a bridge in Pinellas County, where St. Petersburg lives.
Stay safe out there, folks.
