Good luck
No. We loaded us, the dogs and the mother in law in the pickup truck and left.

The Challenger, Pontiac and Plymouth are at the house.

The storm track changed, the eye is due to almost go over our house. However, it's coming in at a more "normal" angle so unlike Zeta last year which came in at nearly 90 degrees to this one, we shouldn't catch the stupid angle wind. Hopefully.
What did the garage roof was a tornado. So long as we don't get any, in hoping we still have a house to come home to...

Though getting here to Texas took 12 hours (it's a 5 hour drive usually) due to stupid outside permit loads, accidents and road construction.

I'm beat.

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

Fingers crossed it'll be ok. Hard to comprehend this side of the pond where, in most places, needing to evacuate is pretty much a never-never occurrence. Especially to have the unknown if your house is even going to be there.

Do they cut services for safety? Or is power+water available the whole time?

Have all neighbours left too?

Hard to imagine being in that situation really, must be terrible to have to choose what to take just in case. Fingers crossed for you.


Less annoying tag line.
Just when I thought I was out they dragged me back in.

I've got 7 cars now and I'm trying to get the wife to agree to a small camper van. We do have space on the drive though....:-)

I've had to cull 3 recently, but it hasn't made a dent in the space on the drive. :lol:

https://www.troublecodes.net/pcodes/p0488/
Clogged passages are far more common than faulty EGR valves.
I'd agree with that, looking at the state of the EGR plate channels on the Honda Jizz. I didn't even get a fault code.

Well, it picked up energy, it's now nearly a category 5 (150 mph wind right now)- almost the same as Katrina. By 8pm tonight it'll be directly over our house.
Power stays on as long as it can. Water is in the towers so there's a few days of good water before it needs to be boiled.

This gonna be bad.
