Haven't heard about it. Is this what everyone has been talking about with the whole ground shaking thing that happened?

My question is, should we worry for our cars safety, if they aren't in a garage??

Was just at the beach in Cocoa Beach FL. Waves are getting massive. Too choppy to even paddle out. Tomorrow will be insane. 15-20 ft

Well, I guess I'm just late.
I also hear that mostly coastal cities will be affected (like Ocean City.) If that's the case, maybe us Baltimore/Owings mills ppl won't be affected?

we're not within direct line of the storm, I don't foresee it being a big issue. If you're worried though, just park your car in a random office building's garage parking deck. The last thing tow truck drivers are going to do is to tow your crap in the middle of a hurricane.

Check your auto policies as well, some won't cover natural disasters.
