Hope this storm leaves us alone.. My Excursion, which would go thru anything, blew an engine Monday, leaving us with only our Smart car for 2 people (Wife and I) and 2 large pups, into which we definitely won't fit, if we have to leave. Can't even move the boat.

Tract looks a bit better this morning. I will take any shift to the west! Got the boats off the lifts and moved to higher ground. Hoping for the best. Saturday dove shoot was cancelled. Bummer!! Hope everyone stays safe.

It seems like most Hurricanes in the Gulf always track further west than originally predicted by the time they hit land.
Everyone in the panhandle needs to batten down the hatches and get out if you are on the track. This is going to be a big one.

The only thing I don't like about it is there is no back seat and I cannot transport the dogs. I've got over 100K on it and it's still going strong. My wife was the one that wanted it and I took her to the dealer and like you, I was amazed at the room in it. Just have to get used to driving a car with no hood in front of you. I take it to Sams to buy the big packs of TP, Paper towels etc and have plenty of room.As to safety, there are airbags and roll bars all over. I was told Roger Penske designed it. I know he owns many dealerships in the US .

I saw a video of hitting a wall at 60mph and roll cage stayed intact showing how strong it was. They said the driver would be dead from the sudden drop to zero, but the roll cage survived. Is there no way to modify the storage area for the dogs. In my Ram, I took out the rear seat and built a cushioned floor and a back panel for my dog to travel back there. Hook points for her harness to keep her safe.

We might be in trouble with this one. This was the morning high tide. Another 3 feet and a lot of houses near me are wet! Worried about the next tide cycle for sure.

This was my dock about 10 minutes before the water peaked. Got about 18 inches in the house. Sure glad I moved the boats!

You guys ate in our prayers. We will get the same storm over here on the east side. Just nowhere near as bad. Bummer down and stay safe.
