In Florida, a spontaneous car cemetery has arisen after Hurricane Milton. When it razed the state in October, it killed 17,000 cars.
Hurricane Milton, which hit Florida on October 10, left a massive trail of destruction, including damage to around 17,000 cars.
These corvettes are now gathered in one large car cemetery in the state. The material damage is extensive, and the area gives an impression of the extent of the disaster, where cars of all types and models are parked side by side. Here you can find everything from ordinary family cars to models from prestigious brands such as Ferrari and Lamborghini.
Milton was the second major hurricane to hit Florida in a short period of time. Just three weeks ago, Hurricane Helene had already caused major damage in the region.
When Milton hit, many were still dealing with the devastation of the first storm. In addition to the material damage, significant loss of life has also been reported, although the exact number is still uncertain.
Many local communities were almost wiped out and rebuilding will take a long time. It is reported by several local and international media.

Hurricanes like Milton typically occur in late summer, when the sea temperature exceeds 27 degrees. Hurricanes are formed by warm and moist air that rises from the ocean and creates clouds that can develop into powerful storm systems.
Florida is often subject to these weather phenomena, which have repeatedly left devastation in their coal waters.
In the car cemetery in Florida, the sight of the 17,000 cars gives a concrete picture of the storm's consequences.
Although some cars appear to be intact, they all have water damage. Newer cars with advanced electronics are especially hard hit, while older models may be easier to repair.
Among the cars are also rare models such as a DeTomaso Pantera, which at first glance appears to be in good condition. Even so, the impact of the salt water has damaged both motors and electronics, which makes renovation demanding.
The insurance companies have pooled the corrals to try to limit their losses. But most cars will probably end up as spare parts. The image of this huge collection of cars is a reminder of how devastating natural disasters can be to both people and material assets.
It is not the first time that entire car cemeteries arise due to the forces of nature. In 2015, severe weather in Canada destroyed 3,000 new BMW and Mini models. In 2019, the cars were still left in a field. See and read more about the acidic vision right here .
