Default Hurricane Ike to texas

As u guys know Hurricane Ike is on its way to Texas. My? Is if an evacuation is called would u leave or stay? That’s if u live in Texas. Personally I would stay because I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA this will be the first time I been on a TS or Hurricane.

if i lived on the coast where it was going to hit i would leave somewhere farther inland (if its a cat 3 or higher). My cars always outside but I'm in San Marcos right now all we will get is rain from it

EDIT: Looks like houston might luck out.. to far to tell but it sure looks like its going farther south like corpus christi

Ive been throught several hurricanes since I live in S FL. As long as you have full coverage on your car then dont worry about damage to them. If things get bad just bend over and kiss your *** good bye lol . In all seriousness just make sure you prepare. I have a vid of car fighting with my carport roof sad to say the car port ended up on top of my car lol.

Redrum,

I live on the coast, off of Trinity Bay. So far, it looks like the Houston area will get rain and tropical storm winds. But, that's only the current prediction. Humble is pretty far inland, so you should be ok. If you have a garage, obviously put your car in it. Bring in all loose items from the yard or patio.

get your car into a self storage unit. That'll help keep it from being damaged.

Man all you guys hang on down there and be safe. Dont worry about cars, they can be replaced. Put some rocks in your pockets so you dont blow away.
