ahh so i just got news that school is canceled because the hurricane is basically directed straight towards college station/ bryan

im kinda worried about my cars
i have a 2 car garage but 4 cars
i guess ill go home and re arrange them by value?
i get this feeling the ford should be able to hold out some stuff
but my brothers tC probably not..the civic is fine outside

im not really sure what to do...
suggestions


good luck to those of you that are also gonna be effected by Ike
stay safe

ive been through hurricanes before..but im actually worried about this one..
what kind of things should i unplug from the outlets
what should i really do....?

once again good luck and stay safe

 

Just stay safe!

 

? Geez, I dunno what you should do...create a steel tent over them? Obviously the convert needs to be inside, but I don't think there's much else you can do besides throw a car cover on the ones outside to protect from minor debris.

I would say unplug everything in your house, maybe even shut down your circuit breaker if you can deal without power for a while if you're expect some serious damage?

Good luck, wear a helmet!

 

Board up the windows if you can and id suggest unplugging everything...cant hurt. I dont know if flooding is an issue at all but if so, I would suggest putting more expensive and more important items high up to avoid any water damage.

 

Oh, and GL BTW

 

Oh, cmon....you're worried? In CS?

I live in Angelton. It's heading right for us as a cat 3. by the time it gets to you guys, (gig'em!, btw) it'll be a cat 2/1.

As much as I'd like to go to CS to beat the hell outta Ike, I've gotta go with my family to that town with that other little school, with all the tea-sipping hippies.

anyway man, good luck. Hopefully I'll have a home to come back to

 

I would worry more about that awful football team in College Station than Ike.

 

I'm quite certain that if I lived in an area terrorized by hurricanes or tornadoes, that I would have a reinforced safe room in the house where all of my most valuable items (and people) would be in the event of danger.

 

just stay safe man.

 

I'd GTFO instead. Stuff is insured. There's no sense in staying behind with/for it. Make sure you car is full of gas, grab your most important stuff (I have a fire safe with all important paperwork, wedding pictures, cash, etc) and go. It's not necessarily the hurricane that will get you, it's the aftermath. Be part of the solution by leaving, not part of the problem by staying and having to be rescued. You can always buy more stuff.
