I'm riding out the hurricane...I have a generator, 25 gallons of gas, stocked up with food and water. Im looking in my one car arcade garage and debating which arcades to save and sacrifice. I will only be able to elevate 5 or 6 games... Gonna try and save Sinistar, Qbert, Frogger, Tron, Joust and Xevious....I picked those because they are the most rare and/or hardest to find. I have a few dupilcates at my metal building 45 minutes north of me on my 4.5 acres of country land so i can sacrifice dk, PP, centipede, dig dug and stargate..Im thinking of laying one or two games on their sides and then sliding a game on top of it. I also have some cinder blocks i can utilize and some other rigid house hold items i can sacrifice to help elevate games. I am not concered about the pins...the water wont get that high where i live if it floods...for Katrina i got about 16" of water in the house.

The metal building has about 30 games (27 arcades and 3 pins...most projects...some not)...it is climate controlled..there is no saving those if it floods there....i can only pray it doesnt flood....it is a no flood zone but back in 2016 that area had a 100 yr storm and i had about 14" of water cover my entire 4.5 acres...it rained hard 3 days straight...and at that time i did not store games there...but now its packed with games...its a 25'x20'...10' walls.

BTW..I live in Kenner which is about 7 miles west of new orleans....the metal building is in Hammond..which is 45 minutes north from kenner....my home here in Kenner flooded with about 16" of water for Katrina...and at the time this area was classified and a flood zone..but the lowest rating of zones, like the 1% to 2% chance of flood and the only time it ever flooded was for Katrina...since then, changes were made..levees added..pump stations updated and it is now my home is in a no flood zone....this will be the test today!

I will post post pics of the arcade right now and what i have in my living room and also in a shed in my back yard metal building pics later after I find them on my phone.

For now, here is the arcade.
