My SLS - and the Coming Hurricane
They moved the hurricane track westward, and it is now headed right towards the garage of my SLS. It is probably protected against wind, but there is a chance of flooding, since it is near water. It's close to an inlet of water, not right on the coast. But there is a mandatory evacuation order (due to storm surge warning) ... and my car can't move.
(no gas, nowhere to move it to). I store it with just a gallon or two in it, and the local stations are all out of gas. It's near st pete beach florida.
I am 4,000 miles away watching on the internet.

Thanks. I called the local MB dealer but they closed up shop at the end of Thursday. So I couldn't see if they had a suggestion or would let me park wherever they park their vehicles. (they are inland. Wind damage is possible at their location, but not water).
I called my insurance. I have the lowest possible coverage because it is parked in a garage and not driven. BUT the good news is it IS COVERED if it gets flooded. So I will receive cash value for the car less a $500 deductible.
We'll see. Weather channel says it is in big trouble. NOAA says it's about 50/50 if it will get flooded. So I'm hoping NOAA is right and I have a chance.
(It's perfectly optioned for me. 12 spoke alloy wheels and the B/O upgraded stereo. Silver/red). If it survives it'll hang out in south beach starting in later october.

Well the bad news for Naples was good news for my car. The storm turned inland early, which started it's degradation earlier than expected. This resulted in much less wind and water where my car is located.
The garage did not get any water/flooding. So unless some wind rattled something off the walls inside the garage (doubtful) it is fine!

Good news on the SLS. My Aunt's house in Clearwater just had all her 8' fence blown down and lost a couple shingles so all good
