Dozens of hotel guests at the Vinoy Renaissance in St. Petersburg, have waterlogged, and likely totaled cars. The valet parking area filled with stormwater during an afternoon downpour.
“If its got water in it, I know theyre no good,” said car owner Dennis DeLong.
Visiting St. Pete for a conference, DeLong discovered his 2019 Honda Ridgeline is among the dozens of cars swamped by floodwater.
“Its just frustrating cause were supposed to go tomorrow and leave for a 10-day vacation at Sanibel Island. So now were stuck and we dont know whats going on,” said DeLong.
And he doesnt know if his vacation gear is ruined, along with his SUV.
