Well I didn't evacuate mine during Katrina, and here are the pix, but as you can see that my Formula was the least of my problems.

Before people start bitching about how could I leave my Fbody behind, I had to get both of my trucks out of there & one of them was hauling my 3 Harleys. Something had to stay & the Formula had the best insurance. I am getting it back from Progressive, so it will be hitting the LS1tech series within a few years.

Click on the thumbs.







Here is a little video of it after the storm, please right clik & save as.

It's been a very sickening month for me.

I hope you guys are okay through all of this. If hurricanes keep coming at you guys then you should probably move away from the coast though. I'm sure it is nice down there when there aren't large hurricanes coming but it may not be worth it to live there too much longer.

That's my line lock switch, supposedly water proof, we're gonna find out.

I'm moving to North Louisiana, so's my wife has a place to work, but I'm gonna rebuild on my lot in Biloxi. Guess I'm just gonna end up with 2 houses.
