With the future warnings that they've had I would imagine they got those new units out of there. They probably scheduled more train cars to clean out the holding yards.

I travel a good bit on I-85 & I-75, ATL,GSP,RTP. I have seen a ton of '04 F-150s being trucked out of the VA holding area.

Ford's hurricane plan?

In Norfolk at the Dominion Tower there is an 8-level concrete parking garage, levels 6 and 7 were full of new F-150s from the Ford plant. They were well protected there, above the water from the Elizabeth river and not on the open top level where blowing debris could damage them. This garage is beside the river and the water during the storm was 1-foot deep in the bottom level.

By the way the midtown tunnel under the Elizabeth river filled with water and will be unusable for a while, there are several tunnels around here and I can't recall ever seeing that happen.
