Hurricane Ian: One man’s new $1 million McLaren washed up in Florida

This occurs as Hurricane Ian continues to batter the Florida coast.

A Florida man took to his Instagram page to reveal that his new $1 million McLaren P1 supercar was washed away in Hurricane Ian. A luxury car owner named Ernie shared a series of pictures on social media of him showing his new yellow car adrift in stormwater in the Naples neighborhood.

Along with the image, he wrote: “The car went through the garage.” In another post, he shared a photo of his McLaren with the doors open. Ernie wrote: “My hurricane supply cart.” He posted another photo of his bright yellow McLaren parked next to Rolls-Royce inside a garage.

So far, the post has 58,342 likes and many social media users commented on the submerged car. “I’m so sorry that’s heartbreaking,” another user wrote, “so sorry to see that man.” “Oh my gosh,” commented the third.

This occurs as Hurricane Ian continues to batter the Florida coast. Dramatic television footage from the seaside city of Naples showed flooding engulfing beachfront homes, inundating roads and washing away vehicles.

The US Border Patrol said 20 migrants were missing after their boat capsized, with four Cubans swimming ashore on the islands of the Florida Keys and three rescued at sea by the coast guard.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said the eye of the “extremely dangerous” hurricane made landfall shortly after 3:00 p.m. (7:00 p.m. GMT) on the barrier island of Cayo Costa, west of the city of Fort Myers. .

Ian will affect several million people in Florida and the southeastern states of Georgia and South Carolina.
