Hurricane Dorian & Protecting my New Ranger!

[FX4Offroad]

So, I just picked up my Lariat on Monday and hurricane Dorian is expected to hit this coming Monday...yup, 1 week.

I live in South Florida and the track is moving further south at each advisory. Garage is full of "stuff" that has to be taken in or it becomes flying debris. No room for my truck or my wife's Escape.

Our house is surrounded by trees so there's that too. Fortunately we have impact windows but roofs don't like trees.

Going to prepare several houses of family and elderly neighbors this weekend and hunker down. We will latest prepare for the worst and hope for the best. At the latest advisory, Dorian is expected to hit the coast as a cat 4 just north of West Palm Beach then veer north up the state towards Orlando. Good luck Mickey Mouse.

Wish us Floridians luck. We'll need it.

Oh yeah, pray for my new truck. ;-)

Maybe it's time to see how the new truck does on a road trip?

Could you just rent a storage locker to put your truck in?

Lots of elderly family and neighbors I assist. We'll be fine. Would suck if the new truck was damaged but hey, that why we have insurance.

Actually I recently looked into that for my job so I know this area doesn't have any availability.

Good luck - I rode out a hurricane at my parents house many years ago and it wasn't a particularly strong one - but it was pretty rough. They were out of power for almost a day and when driving around afterwards it looked like a war zone - palm fronds down EVERYWHERE.

It doesn't help that the body panels are really thin and dent pretty easily. Hopefully you get thru it with no issues.

Hunting for a parking spot for mine as well. It's common practice around here for people to leave them in parking garages. If I can't find a spot in a family members garage then that may be where mine rides things out. Good luck out there, be prepared and stay safe. Don't let the media scare you.
