Why are you leaving it in the attic?
Sorry to hear I hope you are ok and make it through! If you have any tarps that would help a lot in case of water leaks
Situations like this SFF builds make so much sense!
Good luck OP! Keep us updated!
Best of luck brother. See you on the other side.
Good luck OP. stay safe. Hope to see an update once its over with.
Stay safe and good luck
Put a gps tracker on it.
Good Luck! Hopefully you have offsite backup, or at least take the drives with you if it’s possible. A padded NVMe drive tucked into a pocket should be doable. Cause data is much harder to replace than hardware.
Hope it turns out well.
We stayed for Irma in 2017. At the time it was the strongest Atlantic hurricane recorded. By the time it went over my house in Riverview, it was a Cat 1. Still intense. Can’t imagine a Cat 4 or 5. Good luck
If you can wrap it in plastic or tarpaulin as well that’d help with any water ingress. Stay safe, dude.
Edit: just seen you’ve already done that
Good luck, sir! Can’t imagine what all this must be like.
Any chance to carry GPU and CPU with you?
Stay safe man and good luck.
🫡 To a fellow gamer. Hope you’re all safe and back home soon
gpu?
stay safe brother on the other side of the pond, good luck from italy!
Good luck man. We get a fair amount of hurricanes here in the east coast of Canada, or at least the tail end of them, but nothing like what’s bearing down on you. The Cat 2 we had a few decades ago did an extensive amount of damage so I can’t imagine the damage that will be caused by Milton. Stay safe and I’m glad to see people are not being stupid and trying to weather the storm.
Is it me or is there a hurricane at least once a year in the us
Grab the CPU, GPU, SSD and ram sticks barely take up any space and you’re basically saving 70% of the PC cost
Stay safe. Wishing you well.
Hope you don’t lose the roof
Good luck OP. I hope you and all your loved ones (including this beauty) can manage to stay safe!
Wrap shiz in cling wrap! Cling the walls, cling the doors. Hi, Billy Mays here and I’m here to tell you about cling wrap.
I’d get some plastic around that cardboard. Won’t take much water to fuckin shred those boxes. Or sealable plastic bins. Lastly, since you’re leaving your items there, put your name and number all over it. Last thing you want while you wait for homeowners insurance to determine if they’re gonna honor their agreement with you on cash reimbursement is for some chud to find it and steal it lol. PCs aren’t cheap
You can wrap the entire box with tape if you have tape and enough of it and it will waterproof the box just in case
