Those of you who live in areas frequented by hurricanes, what do you do for your spyders? Just moved from AZ (where there is virtually no rain ever) to an area that can get those big storms. If I had to evacuate I would have to take the SUV with the dogs- not sure where would be a good place to store the spyder. What say you all with experience in these matters?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I'd figure out a way to chain it down, and then say a good prayer for when returning becomes possible... :shocked:

Above sea level & Concrete
I live in Tampa Bay and the best place in a hurricane is the highest elevation you can find and surrounded by concrete bloc construction. If you are on the water, go inland. Those high tides can be murder. Pulling a trailer in high winds can be extremely dangerous. So if you tow the Spyder to higher ground, do it early. Most of our bridges close when the wind reaches 40 mph. Just remember the rising water can be more destructive than the high winds. Why do I continue to live in Florida when we have all of these storms, because I love it here. Some places have tornados, some have earthquakes, some have mud slides or forest fires. We have hurricanes. It just a fact and we learn to live with it.

Having a trailer would also allow for more stuff to go inland with you as well... :thumbup:

No problem
Let the big windsurf blow. Im writing this aboard my sailing vessel here in Key Largo as Isacc is screaming past me. Move the spyder to high ground to where it can not get flooded and in a location where it is not likely to get hit by wind bourn debris and place its cover over it. I parked mine under the Key Largo bridge at an elevation 10 feet above sea level and parked my car on the windward side of the spyder to protect it. My tiki garage is only two feet above sea level so I had to move it up.

Well I live a block off the water but my house sets up pretty good. But If I was really concerned I would put it in a parking garage a few miles away. At least level 4.

One or the spyders cousins is the sea-doo. Hope mine floats. .
Does the name, "Titanic" ring any bells?? :shocked:
