I remember that. Brown molasses covered everything. When you heard the plane you ran for cover or else you got the molasses all over you.

Yeah I guess I’m too far south. I was however, driving my female home from RSW up 41 (due to a trailer rollover on 75) and in some of the barren stretches we passes a “fresh squeezed juice” stand. Seemed oddly out of place but figured maybe I’d check it out one day.

If your car was left outside and that shizz got on the paint it would be ruined. Homeowners were also reporting damage to the house roofs and filing insurance claims.
