Re: What is something you wish you had during a hurricane?

Acutally tomorrow at work, I am going to see if I can fit through the rear doors, if so I am going to drive it in the theater and park by the entrance to auditorium #12 in the hallway

If I don't, gonna see if I can get it in the recieving room where we get stock.


If I cannot get it in there, gonna park it under a overhang, under a stairwell, and surrounded by walls in the back of the theatre or up front under the overhang, by the box office, depending on which way the wind is blowing.

Anything special you're doing with your cars - that is if you don't normally have access to car shelter?

The 'sort of SO' is bailing on you? What's up with that?!

Air, Wish I had Air.....


This sucks another major storm... Here is a trick to keep your fridge cool longer.. Freeze a case or tow of water bottles in there... As they melt drink them, but they are ice and will help keep it cool...

By the way guys, fill like some 2 liters (leave a little space for expansion) with water and freeze those.


Block ice works much much better and lasts alot longer then bags of ice.

And if it melts, its bottled water

My fridge was very cold during the 11 days I was out of power during andrew.

I'm putting my car in the UCF garage...its concrete & steel, not sure if it gets any more sturdy than that. I figure if the car gets messed up thre, it was meant to be. I really can't think of any place safer to put the car during the storm other than North Dakota.

Re: What is something you wish you had during a hurricane?

garage is reall sturdy, I reccomend maybe going to the 3rd floor? and parking in the middle.

It still covered, but on all floors the sides are open, and on the 3rd floor you are highest up but covered with a roof. If I decide to park their as well I think it woudl be saver for you guys to park on either side of me, you know just in case any debris makes it up there

Yeah I saw that my phone ALREADY acting up... same thing happened with a few peopel at my work.

I think my car is gonna be parked at my work. Reason being, I might be staying at my work for this whole fiasco, and its like 1/2-3/4 mile walk to get to my place from my work, maybe quicker, never cut through the apartment complexes on foot. I would have a hard time getting my car on campus and finding a shelter and I do not wanna be stuck on campus somehow.

As for the garage, any of the garages woudl be good, I reccomend, going for the 3rd floor, and maybve parkin on the ramps, halfway up the ramp toward the middle there is usually a wall or support structure, I woudl park next ot one of those, and in leave it in 1st gear. I woudl try and do it as high as possible without being on the top. there are TONS of woods around UCF thats why I woudl aim higher. These garages do have open walls all the way around, and are not completly closed off, your car will get win but seems unlikely you will get anything to hit your car.

If you want you can PM me where you park it and I will go by(if I can) and keep an eye on it if you get stuck somewhere.
