One of the greatest benefits of owning a motorhome and living in the path of hurricanes is the ability to get out of town...First Class! Shelves are emptying right now of the basics like fuel, water, plywood, food stocks, etc. I'd rather be laughed at (by idiots) for preparing and not needing to than the other guy that did nothing.
If you do leave, keep your gas tank as full as possible along the way. This may be your only source of power (generator) for a few days. And, don't brag about how well you are equipped...those that don't prepare get crazy and desperate when reality slaps the s**t out of them..

We are more than ready and prepared. Unfortunately in Fla. once a hurricane is declared the campgrounds must close down. We live on a barrier island so will be leaving but most likely will end up in a parking lot somewhere - even in the center of the state it is expected to be a Cat 1-2. I was hoping someone had figured out a way to protect the glass - using Pylox or Shutters or such to protect the windows wherever we end up?
