Once the storm is over and all members of your family are accounted for, check over your car thoroughly to evaluate its condition. If there's damage, take pictures of the car and compare the "before" and "after" version, as advised above. And if you have to drive after a tropical storm or a hurricane has swept across your neighborhood, consider this advice from Ready.gov:

Drive only if necessary.
Avoid flooded roads and washed-out bridges.
Watch or fallen objects, downed power lines and weakened walls, bridges, roads and sidewalks.

Experiencing a hurricane can be a difficult ordeal — but planning ahead can help give you some peace of mind about your car so you can focus on staying safe.
