Sleep in the basement, listen for sirens, leave some windows open - less vaccum so your roof doesn't get lifted off.

Oh its just rain from here on out. It was just the initial push of the front that had the severe weather with it. They say we are supposed to get between an inch and 2 inches with this storm.

Oh and I dont have a basement

And deep freezers.

Seriously, when I was a kid, just about all old folks would have a deep freezer on their screened in porch. My aunt said it was because when they first got popular that they were so loud when running that you couldn't stand to have them in the house when you were trying to sleep, and through the years old folks just tended to keep them there for the extra space inside.

A lot of folks kept washing machines on the porch because they didn't have indoor plumbing, and the water had to run out of it somewhere.

Yep, in case of pump failure or some other problem with fuel supply under boost. I've read of more than one 4.6 expiring due to a faulty pump under boost.

I remember driving thru Tennessee and seeing that in the 60's (from the 3rd seat in a Pontiac Safari wagon). Seems like the barns had "Stuckey's" painted on the roofs.

Was it a screened in porch, or a 'breezeway'?

lol Hell I've been doing that all winter. The addition with the laundry room isn't completed yet. Still under construction.

We always just called it the porch, I guess because most of the people I knew were too poor to have a house big enough for a breeze way, lol.

Yep, remember the Stuckey's barn ads well (I loved those pecan logs they had, best ones ever) there used to be a ton of them in Ga, and Al. when I was young. Also the "See Rock City" barns and the "See Ruby Falls" signs were everywhere. I figure it was a good way to get your barn painted for free if you were lucky enough to have one that could be seen from the highway.
All great tourist traps to catch the "yankees" headed to Florida on vacation.

I remember Rock City too now that you mention it but not Ruby Falls. Never thought about the Florida connection but makes sense.

And what tires are you running?

It is indeed fuel pressure. It idles at about 39 and then goes from there.

My boost tops out at about 12 psi. It's actually a boost/vacuum gauge so at idle its about -25 vacuum and at about 1500 rpm it goes up to about 0 and at full throttle its 12psi.

The tires are BFG KDW New treads

245/45/19 in front and 295/35/19 out back.

It was the only 295 width available in 19 when I bought them. They are the same size tires that came on the Corvette Z06 a couple of years back (before they went to 20's).

Good luck guys. The storms we had lastnight did some damage but nobody confirmed any tornados as of yet and so they are saying that it was from the straight lines winds that came in front of the storm as it rolled thru. They said that there were trees down and 2 mobile homes got flattened by the winds.
