Dodged a hurricane bullet - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

So we had a "hurricane" here on the east coast.

I'm on long island and as everyone was expecting a crazy night it seemed to relatively uneventful. So as a precaution since I have trees on both sides of my driveway I decided to park across the street so I can avoid the possibility of a branch falling on her. Well wake up this morning and boom a bunch of branches on the driveway along with wires, all where my car would have been.

So I hope anyone else who had to deal with this hurricane on the coast got through it unscathed.

Good call on moving your ride! We didnt have it to bad here in VA. No power outage or tree damage. Irony is I live in a place called Lake of the Woods

My cr-z was within literally an Inch of being hit by a fallen tree last night. As soon as the tree fell I went out to check for damage and then moved the car.

I was expecting much worse in NJ, but there's really not much flooding or damage in my area.

Parked my Z in the garage

It did nothing here in ct, so flooding near the Farmington river what that's it. A few accidents on the highway but that's bc ppl can't drive in rain smh. My cr-z was out on the town last night and then in it's garage over night

, she's all set.,

My buddy brought his 08 civic SI to a parking garage for the storm, so did a bunch of other people, he parked it between a Ferrari and an M5.

It wasn't as bad as they were saying, but it wasn't a very nice storm.
