Residents along Gulf Coast are facing the next Big Weather Challenge. Experts warn that this system will unleash heavy rainfall, with 3–6 inches expected.
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida are under flood watches. Residents of The Villages—one of America’s largest golf cart communities—are urged to take proactive steps to protect their beloved Evolution golf carts from potential damage. As a community that counts on comfortable outdoor living and frequent golf cart trips, Golf carts are more than just transportation here—they’re part of the lifestyle. That’s why safeguarding them during storms or flooding conditions is crucial. Here’s a quick guide for Evolution owners to weather the storm—keeping your family, house, and golf cart safe:
1. Stay Informed — Timing & Threat Levels
Expect rain and potential flooding, bookmark reliable local weather sources (National Hurricane Center, National Weather Service) and enable alerts on your phone. Pay attention to watches and warnings.
2. Shield Your EVOLUTION
Flooding is a major risk during tropical storms. If you store your cart in a low-lying area or near a drainage slope, relocate it to an elevated and dry location. A garage on higher ground is a good ideal. If open-air is your only option, move them to a higher ground away from flood-prone zones.
Turn off the cart completely. Disconnect the lithium battery to avoid short circuits.
Avoid flooded roads. Never drive your golf cart or car through standing water.
Invest in an All-Weather Enclosure. For Village residents preparing for the incoming storm, an all-weather enclosure is peace of mind you can zip up. Protecting it from volatile weather is key. These custom-fitted enclosures seal your cart from rain, wind, and debris.
3. Maximize Safety at Home
Fill and place them at low entry points to block rising water, especially garage doors.
Clean gutters, drains, and swales near the house to aid runoff.
Storms can knock out power systems. Have a backup plan:
- Stock up on flashlights, batteries, portable chargers.
- Keep at least a 3-day supply of food, water, and medicine.
4.Inspect, Assess, Restore
Once the storm passes, begin by thoroughly drying your golf cart, including the seats, console, and charging port. Inspect for any signs of water intrusion or electrical damage before attempting to charge the battery—only do so when all components are completely dry and under supervision. Finally, clear any debris from around your home and cart to ensure safe operation and prevent further damage.
Stay Safe, Evolution Family
