I guess it sure is easy to be a Monday morning quarterback.

If you watched his videos in their entirety, he stated he would upload AFTER flooding had subsided...so it would appear he only documented during the storm (which if you think about it, at the very least is good for insurance purposes).

Regardless, why does it bother you that he recorded his life events while saving what personal items/possessions he could?

Be glad that an enthusiast saved *three* Bimmers from the scrapyard...two of them being an E36 M3. To a true enthusiast, this guy did some ingenious thinking/action to save some increasingly rare cars.

I'm glad we have folks like him, regardless of car make.

I'm in Florida and with Irma coming I may be taking a page out of your book. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
