HI, don't know if you remember I mentioned seeing a Kia Soul parked in downtown Gulfport during landfall of hurricane Idalia. Well, that Kia Soul is famous! I'm here in Gulfport now and picked up a copy of the local paper, The Gabber, and there's a whole article about it as well as a poem dedicated to the vehicle. I guess I wasn't the only one wondering where it's owner was, seeing the water rise above its wheels. Here's a link to the paper. Enjoy.

Believe me, once the colder weather up here starts, the Flamingo's will be making a beeline back to the Caribbean.
