Everything is nailed down, bolted down, or tied down!! Car is in the garage, under the cover! I'm hoping the forecast is wrong but time will tell! Are you going to E-town next week for the Big 3 Shootout?? Probably will go if weather cooperates. Thinking about the All Chevy show on 11/10 at Atco also! This is when the air starts to get good, maybe a new PB but I doubt it.

I'm from central mass so its not going to be too bad for me. Im just keeping the car in the garage and I put a few things away in the shed so they won't blow away. I'll probably be working outside a little bit tomorrow Haha.

College is closed down tomorrow, phone is charged, Camaro has a full tank of gas, got plenty of beverages, flashlights, a good cooler, ice, chips/crackers and GM High Tech's/schoolwork ready to go. I have all of this because I know my power will be gone for a while if this storm hits us hard like it's supposed to.

Baltimore here.
Parked the car as far back in the driveway away from trees and power lines as I could. Got plenty of food, batteries, and other supplies. I'm fully expecting a power outage tomorrow. I know I'll be off work for a couple days as it'll be flooded out.

Food, drink, gas, candles, flashlights, and pulled the car out from under a tree. If we lose power for a while ill make a fire and use the cast iron dutch oven outside.
Good luck everyone.
