Flood Water Ruins Dozens Of Cars In Vinoy, Florida Valet Parking Garage

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 it’s got water in it, I know they’re 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.

“It’s just frustrating cause we’re supposed to go tomorrow and leave for a 10-day vacation at Sanibel Island. So now we’re stuck and we don’t know what’s going on,” said DeLong.

And he doesn’t know if his vacation gear is ruined, along with his SUV.
