A car hurricane can cause severe damage to your car. It could be caused by water infiltration or exterior damage. There are some things you can do in order to protect your car during a hurricane.
You should plan where you will park your car if you have to pack it full.
Your best option for parking your vehicle during a hurricane is to park it on a hill or on an area that has been cleared off trees and large objects that could fall onto your vehicle and cause serious damage. Another option is to park your car in a garage that has been set up for this type situation.
If you don't have a garage or an open area to park your car, you can try to find a place that has roofs that are located on higher ground. These places may be free or have designated parking spaces for cars in case of a hurricane.
It is possible to park your car in a street that isn't flooded, away from trees and objects that could be damaged by a hurricane. You might also consider parking your car in an enclosed space, such as a school/shopping center.
When there is a hurricane, it is important to take care of your vehicle. Make sure your vehicle is clear of power lines and fallen trees. You should also be cautious of flooded roads, as this can cause significant damage to your car.
Places to park your car during a hurricane
Look for a location that is high on the ground and offers protection from high winds or rain. For hurricanes, you can park your vehicle in a garage or other open space within the house.
Once you have your car parked, inspect it for any signs of flooding or other damages caused by the hurricane. Foul odors or any mold or mildew may indicate water damage that you should not ignore. Contact your insurance company immediately if you notice any of these symptoms.
Photograph your car before the hurricane so you can compare the condition. This will make the process faster and more efficient.
If you have to travel to the affected areas, don't drive. Avoid driving on roads that have been flooded or washed away. Also, avoid driving in standing water because it may conceal downed power lines you won't see.
Doing this can be dangerous and can result in serious injury. Make sure you use your seat belt and take all safety precautions.

How to Navigate With or Without a Compass?
Although a compass does not tell you where you're going, it can help you get back to your home in case you lose your bearings.
There are three options for navigation:
-
By landmarks
-
Magnetic North (using a compasse)
-
By stars
Landmarks are objects that you recognize when you see them. They can include buildings, trees, rivers, and others. Landmarks are useful because they provide a visual clue to where you are.
Magnetic North is simply where the Earth's electromagnetic field points. If you look up at a skyline, you will notice that the sun seems to be moving across it. However, the earth's magnet field causes the sun to move about the earth. While it may appear that the sun moves across the sky, in fact, the sun actually moves around its horizon. At noon the sun is directly overhead. At midnight, the sun will be directly below you. The magnetic field on the earth changes daily, so the direction of the North pole's magnetic North pole can change every day. This could mean you can be off-course by quite a bit in one day.
Stars can also be used to navigate. Stars appear over the horizon to rise and lower. These are fixed points that can be used to pinpoint your location relative other locations.
