After every major disaster involving flooding, the states not affected get a delayed reaction flood -- a huge second flood of ruined cars that have been superficially cleaned up and quickly moved out of the flood zone (where people are on the alert about it) and are being sent through the dealer auction network and pawned off on the low end, predatory car dealers who buy them so cheap that they can still make a big killing while offering them at very enticing prices.
