This comes as Hurricane Ian continues to ravage the Florida coast
A Florida man took to his Instagram page to reveal that his brand-new $1 million McLaren P1 supercar was washed away due to Hurricane Ian. The owner of a luxury car named Ernie shared a series of photos on his social media showing his new yellow car drifting away with rainwater near Naples.
Along with the photo, he wrote, “Car went through the garage.” In another post, he shared a photo of his McLaren with the winged doors open. Ernie wrote, “My hurricane supply truck.” He posted another photo of his bright yellow McLaren parked next to Rolls-Royce in a garage.

This comes as Hurricane Ian continues to ravage the Florida coast. Dramatic television footage from the coastal town of Naples showed floodwaters pouring into beachfront homes, flooding roads and swept away vehicles.
The US Border Patrol said 20 migrants were missing after their boat sank, with four Cubans swimming to shore in the Florida Keys Islands and three rescued at sea by the Coast Guard.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said the eye of the “extremely dangerous” hurricane made landfall just after 3 p.m. (1900 GMT) on the barrier island of Cayo Costa, west of the city of Fort Myers.
Ian is expected to affect several million people in Florida and the southeastern states of Georgia and South Carolina.
