      Definitely would not stay in an RV or even a typical house anymore. I’m from Terrebonne Parish, LA and we never left for hurricanes. We made the right choice and evac’d to Houston last year for Ida. Our house, like most, was damaged but the loss of power, fuel, food/water and supplies was worse. The storm was terrible and people who stayed regretted it. Even if you survive the storm, the area will be without goods and services so I say everyone should play is safe and evacuate. You can replace things but you can’t replace people!! I hope the best for everyone and y’all stay safe!!

      UA-cam RV channel Prepper Wayne lost everything when hurricane Michael (cat 5) hit Panama City, FL just north of you about four years ago.

    I ended up in my 5th wheeler 2 years ago in the Fort Myers area. There was a Tropical Storm coming but it ramped up to a cat 1 when it hit us. Our 5th wheeler went up with a big gust of wind and slammed back down. We now own a park model in the same area. We are heading out right now! (Sunday) I will not stay in anything not hurricane rated ever again!

      my brother was in Lehigh acres and rode out Irma because he was going to try to protect his house and had no money to run anyway. His house has stood up to many big hurricanes. Concrete block with extra reinforcement- built over code standards to rebar and tiedowns. House did great, he lost his yard shed. Never stay in anything mobile. Stay safe.

    I just drove down I95 from Richmond,VA to SC. I saw about 500 RVs heading Northbound and assuming from Florida? I also drive down with a caravan of Builders Services pulling lots of RVs for the employees and lots of other communications RV trailers, insurance trailers, food trucks, water trucks, and gas trucks heading southbound to Florida. A lot of people heading that way to help in the aftermath! Brought a tear to my eye when I realized the gravity of what I was seeing and praying for all those affected by this storm.❤️🙏

    I road out a Hurricane 1 in Kingston, Jamaica (work trip). Being on shore in a hotel built for that, we were evacuated from the job site. I agree with you, get out and now ahead of the rat race. If it lessens to a tropical storm and you left when not needed, you can always come back. Not worth chancing it in an RV. Load up and go!

Good luck and safe travels!

    I just stumbled on your channel, probably because you mentioned the potential hurricane, plus I follow several RVers and van dwellers. We have been in the Tampa Bay area for many years now, and don't get real excited about the storms much anymore. If you haven't already left the area, I would suggest heading to Juniper Springs to ride out the storm. It has a beautiful camping area, and should be far enough inland to miss the worst of the storm. Your decision to leave the area early is probably good as waiting until everyone is leaving always causes severe traffic issues, and sometimes gas shortages. Good luck out there!

    As fulltimers for over 5 years, i'm surprised you don't have a water filtration system and keep stocked up on propane. We always keep extra propane, diesel fuel, gasoline for the generator and we have a water filtration system as well as emergency food supplies just for these types of emergencies. There is absolutely nothing worse than standing on lines for supplies and fighting over bottled water and toilet paper. The answer to your question regarding staying through a hurricane? Absolutely not! We are in Texas and we are watching this hurricane to make certain it does not suddenly head west. We practice "pulling stakes" in less than 30 minutes packing everything up to as fast as 15 minutes leaving items behind in a serious emergency. i follow these damned hurricanes several times a day. Stay ahead of this thing by heading inland at least 3 hours. Please get ahead of the mad rush to get out! Good luck and safe travels. Scott & Cherryl.

      He headed North and East yesterday in this rare case it is a good plan as like you said this one could swing west. If I were him, I would have either headed due North to Atlanta where it will be only a Tropical storm but most likely a depression. He could have also headed SE and gotten East of Kissimmee, but his plan was a good one. There is another one birthing off the coast of Africa. Looks like our Hurricane season is starting to ramp up this year. I am in Atlanta, so I don't have to ever worry as I am high enough up that I don't flood.

    Glad to hear you bugged out of Dodge while the gittin' was good! Emergency and contingency plans should always be made for any eventuality you may run into. Early warning like you got is so important, especially in this day, and age. We were visiting my Great Aunt in Key Biscayne back in 1966 when Alma went through the area. She wasn't worried, despite 90 MPH winds, and the water about 4 feet under her house (which was on pilings) was creeping ever closer, but never came in, thank goodness! While the house pitched and swayed, it held together after being all buttoned up. Still scarier than hell when I was a youngster! Safe, and hoppy travels from The Boondocking Brewer™!

    Oh no! And you guys inspired me to make videos! I'm in FL too, at Flamingo, the end of the Everglades! Right on the Florida Bay! I spoke to NPS today, Here, because the stom is going to the west, they are anticipating wind (but not as bad as they thought) and a possible storm surge. if that happened, i would go to long pine key or Homestead Racetrack.
    In theory, the yare saying go east and south or northeast to avoid. be safe and check in soon!
    THANK YOU BOTH!

    We are just a tad north of Clearwater area, 1 1/2 miles from the coast. Also we are one week away from putting our home on the market & getting our dream toy hauler. I thought when I saw reports...you've gotta be kidding me! Praying/hoping you & everyone a safe journey during these times!

    You were right in my backyard at Winter Quarters in Bradenton. I thought I recognized it. We are in Tennessee right now with our camper watching the news closely as we didn’t do anything to our house before we left. We’ve had this trip planned for months and left before we knew it was coming our way. I hope you got out safely and stay safe during this storm.

    I live in the Greater Houston, TX area. Hurricanes are not something to mess with. I've lived through/evacuated for several. Katrina, Ike, Harvey, and a couple others I can't remember their names. Katrina we got stuck in all the traffic trying to get out of Houston, got over to Hwy 59 then slept in a church parking lot after sitting in traffic for very long time. My Dad realized there was a country road leading East, so that is how we finally got out of all of that traffic mess. We ended up in Shreveport. For Ike I stayed with family friends and then Harvey we stayed at our house because we move NW of Houston and we felt safe staying here because we are far enough from the coast flooding wasn't a concern for our area. Better safe than sorry when it comes to hurricanes for sure.

    Some coastal areas will not allow RV to evacuate during the mandatory evacuation order within so many hours of land fall. High winds will come in before land fall causing issues on the highways.

  • @roamingaimlesslywithapurpo4459

    Have our fifth wheel in our storage yard up here in St. Augustine. We live here so will be riding out things in our sticks and bricks like normal. Hoping all we get is a bunch of wind and rain from the outward bands like usual. This is our first hurricane with being RV owners. Fingers crossed the RV stays put and rides things out with minimal damage.

Need to get baseplate installed on newer 🚙 so unfortunately fully insured rv might have to be left behind. Hoping for the best and praying for all those in direct path of horror. Curious to see where y’all hunkered down as I continue to watch. 🦩🌪 🚌

    There’s a nice state park in Eufala Alabama - Lake Point state park where we evacuated (from central Florida) to over Labor Day weekend a few years ago. Really nice small town and the park was on a lake. Water & electric with a dump station. I think it was about $20/night. There were tons of empty spaces.

    One thing we need is RV and Tent Evacuation locations nationwide wide on website, APPS, Facebook and other social media... which lists all free or cheap locations nationwide open, closed, full or available spots... this is great for Hurricane, Fire, and flooding evacuation.
    In past I can hear on news able being able to go to Atlanta or Alabama speedway fir evacuation from Florida hurricane... this year I struggle to find where I could go.
