In this particular case in Mexico Beach, if you look on Google Street View at the Exxon station where he placed the camera, there was a tall, very thick light pole with a halogen spotlight at the top that was located at the edge of the station property and I expect that is where he bolted the camera box. You can copy/paste this link into a browser to see what the area looked like (at least as of the 2015 image) where he stationed the camera (DU doesn't form the link correctly but copy/paste should work) -

I dont think the storm picked who lost property based on their votes. Nature doesnt discriminate.

I'm wondering if he put the camera in a metal box and bolted it to a sturdy steel post of some kind?

I have two Toucan's T shirts from a visit 8 years ago. There was a live Toucan on premises.
