ADVICE EMPTY YOUR DISHWASHER AND PUT ANYTHING YOU WANT TO PRESERVE IN THERE. It's waterproof and secured to cabinets so it's more likely to survive a storm.

Just one of the many reasons I won't use Facebook. <snort>

I really liked the part about "secured to cabinets" reasoning.

The picture below shows the famous "The Last House Standing" in Gilchrist, TX on the Bolivar Peninsula, after Hurricane Ike. It was built explicitly to withstand a Cat 5 hurricane. The other 200 homes were not. Their dishwashers were securely secured to the kitchen cabinets, tho.

The owner lost his previous home 3 years earlier on the same lot to Hurricane Rita. A retired electrical engineer, he had a Galveston engineering firm oversee the rebuild. The house sits on 14-foot steel column stilts that are secured 20 feet into the ground and raises the ground floor 22 feet above sea level.

It should be noted that Hurricane Ike storm surge ruined every kitchen appliance in the house, including the dishwasher.

They successfully protected important pictures and other valuables inside several waterproof Pelican cases.

The Onion just isn't as inventive and creative as the NYT or the Washington Post these days.

Every now and then you might see someone drive by, or even walk up to the marker and take a picture.

Yeah, those people are gonna die.

How exactly do we come up with damage estimates for these storms BEFORE they're even over? Feels like these events are turning into money grabs ..
