how protect your car during storms

If I was in the path of Irma, I would try to bring my car to either a parking garage or a nearby mall with a large garage, and park it at the highest level I could. If I had the option, I'd avoid the top level. 

Any thoughts on this?

Good thinking Rocky!  Im a step ahead of you . Just got back from dropping the Riv off at the local colleges' parking garage. Right in the center, all covered up, strapped down & ready for the worst. Doesn't look good for us here in Orlando, keep your fingers crossed for us!   Drew

You certainly don't want to be on a lower level or below grade to avoid potential flooding.  I wouldn't want to be on the very top either.  Depending on how many levels there are, a floor or two from the top would be my choice and I would park as close to the center of the structure as I could.  I would also avoid parking near stairwells and elevator shafts.

Exactly right Pat/ I have worked on dozens of parking decks in the NorthEast and the best spot for something like this is the floor UNDER the highest level, because as you obviously know, on the highest level will keep you dry but not help when a tree lands on you car. the lowest level is sometimes below grade/ 'nuff said.
