Not Florida man, but his next door neighbor Georgia man. Come to thing of it, inbreeding doesn't recognize state lines.
Anyway, this guy learned that 148 MPH is not fast enough to outrun a patrol car even though178 MPH the night before was.

I grew up West of there and know the area well. (Obviously it looks "different" today.) Notice all the telephone poles as they motor around. Their small boat is on or near the road, not necessarily the river channel.
My niece and her family left their Gulf coast property and headed to the East side of the state to escape the storm. The Peace River flooding in the middle of the state made the drive back home Saturday a 7 hour trip!
The Peace River doesn't have a wide, unimpeded flow to the gulf. It'll be a while before all that water recedes.
