I have a two car garage and I have the car parked on the far side, as far from the tree as it could be. There is nowhere to park it that it would be away from the tree if it is out of the garage, I live on a hill, and the back yard slopes too steeply for me to move it around to the back. I think if the tree falls on the house, it’s much more likely to take out the kitchen and front door than the garage. It would be more likely to fall across the driveway, since some of the limbs overhang the part of the driveway closest to the street.Oh geez. Is there anywhere you can move the car that would be out of the line of the tree falling in any direction? Aside from the getting online thing, if the tree does happen to fall on the house or even if it doesn't fall but you get enough damage/prolonged power outages/whatever that you want to leave, you're REALLY going to want to be able to use the car (not to mention that the car air conditioner will save you from the heat for awhile).
Just received this - predicted flooding ON THE EAST COAST NE FL!
Purple is water .....

My god. That is really really close to my sisters house .Have family with house and boat on canal off Tampa Bay so been watching close.
Tampa suddenly says they feel a tiny bit better because the tide is lower than it should be.
What? That is ominous.
Then a short while later I see this.
The storm is sucking the water out of the bay - which makes the storm bigger ... stuff out of the movies.
The plus for the folks close to this water it means less water surging in when it hits. So you get a few less feet of water. Good for my family as they are on canal.My god. That is really really close to my sisters house .
How did you fare? We're in New Orleans, and the house held, though it shifted. The aftermath was brutal, but we feel very blessed.As someone who was in the direct path of Ida last year, my heart breaks for all in the path of this storm. Hope everyone got out to safer places. No property is worth your or your family`s lives.
I know people in Naples….heartbreaking
They harvested as much fruit off their trees, etc. as they could yesterday and headed inland this morning. This is so scary! I don't envy all you East Coast folks right now.If it's already flooding, they should probably leave. We haven't even started getting bands yet, just the forward pushing winds.
San Marco and Riverside will absolutely go under water; those areas flood when we get an inch of rain...it's going to be 10+" according to this morning's forecast. Black Creek area too.
Starting to get some winds.
Not sure what you're watching, but there are coastal communities that were already under feet of water two hours ago, and the eye is only partially on shore right now. It's bad.Is this shaping up to be not as bad as expected, or is it still just too early to tell? The news I'm watching isn't covering much beyond the radar, but the times they have newscasters on location, things don't look as bad as I was expecting them to look (yay). Fingers crossed!
