I live in South Florida and one of the reasons I bought the H2 is that flooding has gotten worse every year and so have the intensity and frequency of Hurricanes. Katrina just did us a lot of damage and inconveniece, thank God my family and friends are all well. However, I could not have made it home Thursday night without my H2. I own several commercial properties and one is a Gas Station. We pretty much stay open for anything unless the power goes out and it did this time (actually still don't have power at this location). So I closed it up, and had to drive the employees home, bc the roads were already flooded and their cars would not make it through. I just bought the h2 a lil' over a month ago and it is the only vehicle I felt safe in. We left right in the middle of the eye of the Hurricane and my main concern was high wind gusts, the night was completely black with no lights working, streets were pretty empty with cars already abandoned and stranded in water and trees were down and blocking roads everywhere. With the H2 I made it through the flooded streets, over much debris and delivered 2 employees to their homes and families and made it back to mine as well. I don't recommend driving in a hurricane, it is dangerous and stupid. In this case, we didn't have a choice, it was not safe to stay in the location we were and the H2 was the only way out. I am so happy to have this new vehicle. Please pray for those in the Fl panhandle and gulf coast states, Hurricane Katrina is one nasty storm cause she moves so slow and is getting stronger and stronger. We underestimated her down here in South Florida. There are still over half-million people with out electricity tonight. I just got my internet back on now.
