He probably means the building's garage had those cars in it, not his brother himself. Just guessing.
My sister's building in lower NYC was flooded up to the mirrors, anyone who didn't move it has a total loss on their hands. She was able to beg/plead with another garage on higher ground a day or two in advance, others not so lucky. You can imagine it wasn't easy to find high ground parking in the city on short notice.
