Measures to protect cars from typhoons - In our case, we survived with body covers.

Measures for cars during typhoons

Last Saturday, an unprecedentedly large typhoon No. 19 hit the Japanese archipelago. Many areas were severely damaged, and it is reported that it will take time to recover from the damage. My family also experienced a large-scale power outage when Typhoon No. 21 hit western Japan in September last year.We should never think that our place will be okay.I was reminded of this at the time.

Regarding this typhoon No. 19, I have seen many car enthusiasts on twitter.Evacuate your carThe company had taken measures to prevent the accident. Naturally, our family had to take measures as well, but we currently have five cars and usually use theTwo cars in the parking lot at home, two cars in a blue parking lot a short distance from home, and one car in a covered parking lot near my husband's office.It is parked in the form of a

This time, I will put the GT3 in a covered parking lot near my office, the Panamera and air-cooled Porsche 911 (964) in my home parking lot, and the BMW 320i and Boxster in a blue parking lot.As for the GT3, Panamera, air-cooled and 320i, well, they are okay, but it is the Boxster that concerns me.

Although the body cover was applied, "With a big typhoon like this one, the body cover might indeed be blown off...I thought to myself, "I'm going to have to do my best to make the Boxster endure this.(Incidentally, our family uses body covers made by Nakabayashi Industries.)

Miracle of Body Cover

And on the day of the typhoon's arrival. The news said, "This typhoon No. 19 will hit Shizuoka Prefecture and Tokyo.I had thought that Kansai might not be that big of a deal, since it was said to be "a very big deal," but contrary to my expectations, the rain and wind were quite strong and lasted for a long time, even in this area. "If it's this bad in Hyogo Prefecture, the area where the typhoon hits is going to be in trouble.My husband is still worried about the Boxster, even though I told him that I was going to go with him...

I wonder if I'll be okay...even though I'm wearing a body cover, it might be bad if it rains and winds like this...

The rainstorm continued for a few hours. The storm continued for several hours, but in the evening, when it finally subsided and the rain stopped, my husband hurried to check on the Boxster. When he returned a few minutes later, he said

Oh my gosh, I was fine!

And.

There's still a bit of wind, so the body cover bulged out, but the airflow is well out through the ventilation holes, so it doesn't flap around at all. I did flip up the body cover to feel the body.It's not wet at all, just a little damp, and the top is fine.I realized once again how important it is to have a body cover that fits the car well. Well, well, well... Nakabayashi Industries, kudos to you!

He said.

If the body cover was not fitted to the car, the body cover would flap around in a rainstorm, causing damage to the car body each time, but this did not happen at all with Nakabayashi Kogyo's body cover.

I'm sure that if I told Mr. Nakabayashi Kogyo about these things, he would say, "I'm sorry.No, we're not there yet, we'll make it even better!I guess you would humbly say, "W. This typhoon reminded us that our lives are protected by the efforts of Japanese professionals, including in the matter of flood control.

The world is made up of someone else's work.

Thank you, Professionals, for all you do.
