JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Florida man parked his Smart car in his kitchen to protect it from Hurricane Dorian.

In a Facebook post, Jessica Eldridge said her husband, Patrick Eldridge, was “afraid his car might blow away” so he parked it in their Jacksonville home’s kitchen. She wrote on Tuesday that their other car is parked in the garage.

Dorian is skirting Florida’s coast, narrowly missing Jacksonville as it heads northward along the Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina coasts.

The Category 2 storm devastated the Bahamas, where rescue crews have only begun taking the full measure of the damage.
