Can u help me run from Gustva ?
I live between Baton Rouge & New Orleans, only have a carport (no enclosed garage) . Looking for an enclosed space to store my 08 redhead during Gustva should he bear down on us as currently predicted. 
Anyone have any ideas?
If Gustva is to hit us head-on or to the east, I will relocate to Baytown Texas where my son lives,otherwise I'm in need ..................\

My suggestion would be to drive 150 miles inland and ride out the storm. If it is what they say and the levees don't hold were gonna have another Katrina. A garage isn't gonna protect you or the car. I'm glad to see that they're starting their evac plan now. No lives need to be lost this time

Wish I could help, but my garage will be (is) full. Just a note, I saw on the local news broadcast that the hotels in the Shreveport, La and the Longview, Tx areas have been booked up and only a few rooms are available.

I live in Palm Beach County Florida and when we were getting hammered a couple of years ago we would take our extra cars to the local airport parking garage. The sides of the garage are open but the cars fared well.

I feel your pain. I live in Ft. Lauderdale we are always under the gun for hurricanes. Before I bought my house I would take my car a large mall with parking garage and park in the safest place I could find, never had a problem. Just an idea for you.

Storm chasers use parking garages as a very safe place to ride out the storm. Get on an upper floor in the center of the building and almost nothing can get to it.

My suggestions are:
1. Leave the area and go to your son's early enough to avoid the 'contra flow'.
2. As advised above, find a commercial garage (airport, hospital, or mall) and park against the wall. Good spots go early.
I will be remaining behind working but my redhead will be secure.
Hope you fare out well.

Get while the gettin's good. My family is on the way up to Dallas right now. I would love to offer a spot to you, but unless you want to sleep in the yard, I'm all out. The family has claimed all of my spare space! Good luck from a fellow Louisianian. Stay safe!
