Are you taking all the road worthy cars Phil?
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.

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?

I'm sure the Wob hive mind is working overtime to try and protect you and yours.
Stay safe Phil.

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.

Mini Shrimp love it but it's only temporary as I can imagine it's shit because Vauxhall.
Let's not beat around the bush.
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.

The p0488 error code points to the egr valve being at fault, possibly dirty.
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.
