Side note - people need to be super careful buying used cars for the next several months because of scammers cleaning up flooded cars and brining them north to sell. Check under the carpets and so on, etc. Avoid Florida cars.

Idalia brined them, not the scammers. Just to be clear.

right, the scam is taking a flood car north and not disclosing flood damage to an unsuspecting northerner.

It seems like it always happens every time there’s a bad flood/hurricane etc.

I remember used lots in Oklahoma getting flooded (heh) with Katrina cars back in 2005-2006.
