its gonna be sad to see all the hondas that got destroyed. I wonder if there will be like some kind of website with all the cars that have damage from the storm, or like an auction or somethin.

Snopes is a rumor site. That is a poor photoshop at best. Look at lighting and angles. Look at the license plate. Notice the side skirt/bumper PLACED through the hatch. This was a pic of a parked wrecked CRX that was placed over another pic and then a motion blur added.

all you had to do is read what the text said under the picture/// is fairly obviously a composite of different images and text overlays.////The storm image onto which the other components were overlaid is in fact a frame from a video of 2004's Hurricane Charley making landfall in Florida://///

ANYWAYS, while I was in Biloxi helping with the Salvation army, in all reality I personally counted 48 individual EFs in various states of "OH ****!" Most were flood damaged, others had been crushed by debris.
