Default Hurricane Ike

How did everybody do in Houston and surrounds? My 996 was safely in the garage along with the lawn furniture. Still no power, so sitting at the Houston Galleria typying this.

I'm sorry you had to go through such an ordeal. I went through Katrina and Rita; lived in Mandeville. Water missed my garage and Porsche by about 2-3 feet. Best of luck.

No issues here in the Galleria area. Power was out for a few hours only and no water anywhere close.

I had my Esco jackstands ready if needed though.

Hope all Porsches made it ok!

Ditto - in the garage with the lawn chair and table. Still don't have power - and just got back enough water pressure to take a shower __ and I live inside the loop! Crazy.

Unfortunately, had to drive the car today for various reasons - going like a sissy over some of the debris...

That's a good boyscout, very prepared!

Must have been a little crazy watching water getting closer.
