Hurricane: Whose Damaged Gray MCS was that?

It was horrible to see so much destruction on the Atlantic seaboard from the yesterday's hurricane (more coming). I saw one MINI piled up on another car and another gray MCS with white bonnet stripes on the side of the road, apparently damaged from the storm which hit Richmond, VA.

I feel for everyone who suffered losses from these storms.

Not sure whose it is... but at last count on the River City MINIs forums, 4 MINIs drowned...

Anyhow, we've already been talking about this on another thread... https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...83674#poststop

Thanks for referring to the other thread. It's scary to read about the (unconfirmed?) 4 MINIs that drowned.

Hurricane Frances Category 4 with 140MPH winds) appears to be headed our way late Friday/Early Saturday. Always remember that material stuff can be replaced, lives are not!

Richmond Flooding

I swear I saw a silver mini floating in all the flooding in downtown Richmond VA. Poor mini! And yes, new minis can be bought. Safety first. I'm in North Carolina and we have to watch up here too. My family is down in Tampa and if the last hurricane would have been there over half of my family would have been homeless (mom, step father, sister, brother, cousins, uncle and potentially my other uncle and grand parents). Its very scary what the weather is capable of. My mini (Wasabi) is currently housed in my garage safely though

Wow, I've been out of the loop on what's going on in the world. Best of luck to all who have been dealing with all the severe weather. I need to look at some news!
