Who else is ready for Sandy?

Well as many know in this area, Hurricane Sandy is gonna kick our a**. So ive been trying to weather proof the Camaro as much as i could. Towels all over the inside of the car, two car covers, and theyre tied down. Times like this i wish i had a garage Hopefully she makes it out alive..close call for Irene last year. Anyone else in Jersey getting ready? Wish us luck guys and stay safe anyone in the area.

Re: Who else is ready for Sandy?

got my power back after 4 days.... Seems like FEMA is on the ball this time around lots of help coming in. Had to wait 2 1/2 hours to get gas the other day but hear they are opening the ports up to the fuel barges so fuel is coming in now!

Re: Who else is ready for Sandy?

Hey all, Finally got my power back since the storm hit last Monday.. Lots of down trees in my area and the winds were real bad like everywhere. Besides going crazy all week from having no power, the Camaro made it out ok. Both covers lifted up off the car, but stayed tied down. Just lots of leaves that were caked on and debris. No damage. That really sucks for that bird that had the garage collapse on it. hope anyone in NJ and the surrounding states affected made it out ok with the storm last week and the Nor'easter last night. Stay safe everyone
