According to the New York Post, the 61-year old actor, who was in middle Tennessee helping flood victims at the time, reported that his home sustained some storm damage.
Fans of the TV show, which ran from 1979 to 1985, were quick to spot damage to another of Schneider’s prized possessions: his “General Lee” car.
“Well… When something like this happens you have two choices: Tears and laughter. I choose laughter,” the actor wrote on Facebook under a photo of the orange car with a toppled tree covering the rebel flag on its roof.
“So… What’s your caption? Here’s mine: ‘Miss Ida stopped by to see the General at Miss Shirley’s last night…’” he joked before letting fans know in the comments that the car is a stunt car and that he’s planning on fixing it.
TMZ reports that Schneider has several “General Lee” cars, which was a character in its own right on the popular show.
After sharing the photo, Schneider tweeted that he was on his way to his mom’s house to “get a real look at the damage” before returning to Tennessee “to continue flood relief.”
