Glad to hear you weathered the storm ok. I am in Tampa in a neighborhood with old wooden bungalows and LOTS of old trees. I left my boxster in my wooden detached garage which, thankfully, withstood the wind and didn't have a tree fall on it (unlike my neighbor's garage). But if Ivan pays us a visit I am definately evacuating. Tampa was VERY lucky with Charley, a cat 4 monster that would have leveled half the city. Even the tropical storm force winds of Francis (the wind gusts here didn't exceed 50 mph) caused alot of damage and knocked out power to millions of people. And a direct hit would shove water from the bay all the way up to Carrollwood. So, with the double whammy of wind and flooding, the only safe place for my boxster, and me, is far away from here.
