Some individuals suggested that Ernie ought to have moved his vehicle to a higher location when he had the opportunity. One person said, “Why wasn’t this car transported to a secure spot before the hurricane? L move.” Another person added their tried-and-true solution in the comment section: “Floridian pro tip: Always park your cars in the airport parking garage. Worth every money to be protected by other cars and high above the floods.”
