ok, so my daughter has lived in Hollywood, FL for almost 2 years. This is her first ever "hurricane alert". She is only about 5 miles from the Atlantic. Sure she will be fine -- 2nd floor of her brick apt building -- but her poor 'soft top' jeep! Anyone have any suggestions for her or her car (there are no garage options for her).She is just to the west of 95, so she is not in the evac zone.
 
Mini storage unit? It might help her through the storm. Otherwise, she may just have to do an insurance claim for the repairs.:(
 
Janice,
no worries - we are out of the cone - it shouldn't even be a rain event. For future storms though, Hollywood is only about 30 minutes southeast of me. If she needs help or shelter, please give her my contact info. As for protecting her car - not much she can do unless she has a friend with room in their garage. If she parks near trees, chances are they'll come down on the car. If she parks in a big open vacant parking lot, chances are flying debris will mess up her car. A smart option would be to have a friend follow her to a local mall that has a parking garage, leave her car there, get a ride home with the friend and go back for her car after the storm passes. But seriously - if there's anythign we can do to help her out let me know.
