If that happened, Florida is in deep trouble.
That ain't gonna happen though.

Exactly.

But, again, we have man-made global warming, so who the fuck knows?

Practicing for go-live. Moved trailer to end of driveway, Tundra for blocking.
Flatten the tires on the trailer, less air will get under it

Frankly, we got the help we needed, when we needed it, via local, state, and federal agencies, as well as private groups and everyday citizens with bass boats and monster trucks. Government's role ought to be to save lives, bring government services like courts, water, trash, courts, etc. back online, and to clear the streets. That has mostly been done.

At this point, very few folks are still flooded out, and, while most of the flooding victims didn't have flood insurance, it isn't like the government refused to sell it to them. All that is happening now is people who didn't plan for something bad happening are getting taxpayer funded handouts because something bad happened to a lot of people at one time.

If an apartment building or condominium burns down, the government doesn't hand out taxpayer money hand over fist, but if it's a widespread event, hey, free moneys for e'erybody.

[end soapbox rant]

Can you hook the trailer to Mrs Datawizs ride? If you can pull the Honda out and put it on the trailer and then pull all three into the space.

Kinda late now, but I just read yesterday that garage doors need to be pinned to the ground. Hope all goes well for you, Craig.

Our garage doors are now locked and have massive storm bars on them. Winds are starting to pick up now. Gonna be a long day. It will be the worst near 7 pm. Fortunately, the eye is staying off of the coast now, but may hit Tampa.
