Could be. Why would somebody leave that type of car outside next to a tree during a Hurricane...
Looks like a 4 post car lift in the garage could come in handy.
Turns out the guy who lost his just purchased (with 300 miles on it) P1 for which he paid $1M, also lost his RR Ghost. It's the white one in corner of this pic. Rumor has it he might have also lost a couple Aventadors in the same garage out of pic....tough times....

When the surge was ebbing and flowing the story is that the car(s) were essentially sucked out of the garage when the doors failed.
in fact, the garage door was smashed from the inside out as this car and a RR were sloshing back and forth in the storm surge. Both of them floated out and down the street. The RR ended up on top of another car and the McLaren ended up wedged with the Palm...

The force of water is just incredible. We have only experienced flooding via rain; everything just drowns. Those lift were 6ft in the air!
when you consider just 6 inches of flood water can knock over an adult male, and then see the height that the surge reached, you have to wonder how it didnt level everything.
So, the home with the Plymouths, I didn't catch on my own, but someone much smarter on another site IDed it as a stilt home. Once I knew that I noticed in the pic you can see the ocean right behind the home and the home next door has open stilts.
The stilts are a building requirement. In the "Plymouth" home, he enclosed the stilts and made garages. According to code, those enclosures on a stilt home such as garage doors are designed to break away in a catastrophic flood/surge to save the home. If they were rigid and in a strong storm surge it can take the entire home down.
Long story short, the car collection was almost doomed from the start. And the other bad news is, supposedly, anything stored under the home in those collapsible panels would be excluded from the home insurance policy by design....sad...just sad...
