Well, I talked to Mark about an hour go and they were on their way to the HLP , Rodeo, vehicle. It was moved from where it was strapped down about a block or more away. It was right down at the beach in Gulf Shores. The hotel Jeff Flock was in had surge that rose about 1 full story, or more... Sounds like the rodeo has a missing windshield. The webcam was still working this morning... We new this because the time stamp was still updating... The image was black.. Not sure what that was all about.. I should hear from them later and i hope to report more info on what they found later tonight..

I dont think they moved it afterward... The surge broke the starps loose and moved it a block + from where it was...

Is feeding SUVs to a Cat 4 the 21st century equivalent of lighting cigars with $100 bills?
