Need help ASAP maybe...

I may be over paranoid but I just bought some coral 4 different pieces and on the way home my friend's car breaks down, 45 minutes away from my house. I am sending this with his phone...how long do I have before I should start worrying about my coral? I realize that coral gets shipped overnight and survives. But they are shipped in more water than what my coral is in and have ways to help maintain temp.
I live in Florida, and it's hot as shi* outside. Should I worry? I should be home within an 1-1 1/2 hours.
I know this is probably not in the right section...but thanks for the help

I wouldn't worry. Just keep them out of direct sun and don't lock them in a closed car either.

Yep, most corals can survive hours of direct exposure to air and sun.

ok good, I went to the jiffy store and got some ice and a styrofoam cooler. I have the coral in the brown bag in the cooler with some ice on the outside of the bag. not too much ice though, enough to kind of keep it cool. good idea or no???
