Are we talking scraping, or are we talking bottoming out with force?

It felt like the middle. Although the guy watching said he saw the muffler catch.

IMO if it wasn't forcefull like crunch!! and more like a scraping rub, probably nothing.... I would check the rocker panel, muffler, and muffler connections to make sure no part got pulled appart .....Also check the evaporation system in the rear just under the trunk (black box thingy) and inspect the shield for dents.... or tears...

Hopefully is nothing!!!
