Where and how to keep your evo safe if a Hurricane is coming?
So i want to ask fellow Evom owners, where do you store/keep your evo if a hurricane is coming and you have no garage?
What do you do to keep her safe?

Damn, please don't tell me a big one is about to hit SoFla... My Evo IX is in there in storage. 
A good place to keep it is up high with coverage all around. Like a parking garage with different levels. Do you have full coverage?

I was thinking the same thing at first.
After living in New Orleans for a few years; Trust me, you don't want it down low...

agreed. down here in concrete paradise/houston, the first thing and last thing that happens when a storm comes is flooding. one level above ground would make me feel safe though since were AT sea level, not BELOW it

i do have full coverage, yeah i guess a garage will work if they dont steal it. Road trip is next to impossible if there is a Natural Disaster i work, and a road trip away from a hurricane in florida is like trying to dodge a bullet because to leave florida i have to drive 10 hours up to reach Georgia and half the time the hurricane passes through florida and goes up to higher states anyways

I'd worry more about flooding here. Id rather park a car on high ground near trees than on low ground with no trees in sight. It doesn't take a lot of rain to get a foot of standing water in most areas of Florida.
Try and put something securely over the car. I know it sounds crazy, but a high end car cover with bungee cords holding it on might work. Just try and cover the wheels too since sand and water at high speeds will eat the finish off them. EDIT: Also, once you find out which direction the wind will be coming from, park the car on the opposite side of the house/building you live in, just drive it up in the grass. It helps.
As far as something not falling on it - good luck. I have seen trees/sheds/roofs fall and miss the car under/next to them, then roll across the parking lot and smash a car 150ft away. Total random chance. Make sure your insurance is paid up and put a few thousand of "Aftermarket part" insurance on it too. Maybe gap insurance as well if you are making payments.
Parking it a garage could help as well, but its still no guarantee it will be safe.
