    Hey, I'm heading off to Collge Station this weekend, but I have plenty of room in Brookshire, TX, if you want. I live in a hangar.

      I'm not leaving my house. However, they did issue a mandatory evacuation of my zip code. Thanks for the offer though.

        You really should evacuate. Yopur home and belongins aren't going to be any safer with you sitting amongst them. That's just my opinion.

        You can just drop your car off if you want it to be out of the storm.

          ^ Serious, I wouldn't underestimate the power of one of those things, even if you are 30+ miles from the coastline. At least get the 1600 and the Audi out of there, if you can get them to whiltebeitel's hanger they would probably be out of harm's way. But, they are just pieces of metal.

          Keep us posted.

                Best of luck.

                I do not think I would put one in a underground garage not knowing how the place drains out and what type of street flooding there could be in that area. Just seems risky in case the underground area of the garage filled several feet deep in water.

                I would rather it be well above ground in a parking garage towards the center of the structure and as close to as many walls blocking it from direct outside access.


                Pat good luck and stay safe...

                    ^ Eh, good point, I was just talking about keeping it out/away from the elements. Knowing 1600/2002's, I'd even consider putting some towels in between the trunk and the trunk gasket (and the doors and door gaskets) so it can soak up any water that finds it's way inside.

                      This whole thing is crazy. I'm counting on my house fairing well because it's brand new and surrounded by larger houses.

                        Good job!! I'm wondering how bad of a T-storm we'll have in Dallas as a result of this.

                          As I understand it will still be a category 1 hurricane when it reaches dallas.
