Guest goldraven Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I was in Hurricane Hugo in 1989 in Columbia, SC. That was a Cat 5 off shore, when it hit it was a very strong Cat 4. Basically, these things are f**kers...we had our windows closed, doors locked, and water was still shooting through the seams in the windows and doors. Not a light dribble, but yes, shooting through them. Everything in the house was wet...although our house did stay up...just needed a few good days of drying out. The constant roar of these types of strong storms in unforgettable, ask yourself if you really want to go through this. If you are going to stay, get prepared for power outages and food shortages. I was on 9 days of no power with only PB&Js to eat...which wasn't too bad. and get ready to help those around you after the storm. If you are seriously worried about how your car will fare through this, if the building it is in may not stay up...I suggest moving it. Hurricanes dont mess around!, the building will fall if it isn't the most stout of objects. On a side note, being in the eye of one of these is one of the most incredible experiences I will remember, complete tranquility and a blue sky at the top of a spiraling tube of cloud for 20 minutes...then absolute hell from the other direction for another day. Good luck to all of you, I will be watching! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Joel, GET THAT Z SOMEPLACE SAFE! And yourself and loved ones! Mike, same for you! Do it! I don't want to see anything happen to yall's cars or your people. That goes for everyone in the path. Well, the path has changed abit for the worst in my area. Its moved closer to us and will be close to a direct hit... All I could do was put my car under a heavy duty car port attached to the house. I don't feel to good about that at all. There are huge pine trees all around our house, and that worries the hell out of me. I hope my next post isn't to try and sell whats left of my Z. We will go to a shelter that was offered to us at the local GTE building, where most of the GTE employes will be going that stayed to ride it out. I feel my family (3 elderly parents) and myself will make it thru this, but my car, thats the big don't know for me.... wish us luck, and I'll post again soon as the power is back up and running (they are telling us 99.9% the power will go off). Later guys, be safe if your in the path!! joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
