I'm in NW Houston and I've got the IS in the garage, and it will stay there. If I leave it will be after the storm if the power goes out. They say the power could take 18 days to come back on. So if the power goes out we will be taking the wife's company car which we don't care if it gets messed up. Also if the power goes out I can't open my garage anyway.

With the IS here the worst that can happen is flooding (which may total it), if I take it, dings and scratches will just **** me off.

GAP insurance on the IS I hope ?

Hope the storm doesn't get out of hand, and good luck.
