Default Tropical Storm Hanna

Word on the street is that this storm is going to rake it's way up the east coast. Hopefully it will be just some rain and a bit of wind, but if it gets bad, those of you without a garage to park in, what will you do to protect your Z?

Back in '03 when Hurricane Isabel came this way, it was pretty bad out. It doesn't look like Hanna will even hit hurricane strength, so I am not as worried, but still, hypothetically for discussion, what would/ will you do?

Park it in doors I think would be safest. I have a garage so am not worried. When the Z goes up for the night today, it's in until Sunday at least.

I think tomorrow afternoon, according to the map. These things are really unpredictable though.

I'll be at work all weekend, I'll probably park my car in one of our hangars. Bad thing about all this is, I bought a 240 yesterday as a beater, and I can't insure it now since the Hurricane is on its way.

check out weather.com, looks like it'll mostly be rain+thunder with slight winds (15mph at most)

If it got bad enough I'd park my car in the garage at my job and just leave it there.... Get a ride with someone else. All the times I drove people home, someone freakin' owes me!
