I’m going to watch it until about 2 p.m. today then haul a*s.

The 5th wheel is fully insured for replacement value, I just need to load up the important stuff in the truck and get ready to go.

In 1985 We spent the night of Hurricane Elena in a roadside park in Alabama just across the Florida line in a pickup truck. The roads were jam packed. No hotels all the way to Birmingham. There were many people who had to stay in the cars on the sides of the roads...............

I would get up to I-10 now. You will have that three hours out of the way and can go west or east based upon the track alerts. Just keep in mind that if it is wind you are concerned about you want to be 90 miles minimum off the centerline.

Head NW and find a place to stay for a few days. Power outages
will be significant I'd assume within a 100 mile or so range from
the eye of the storm. It can take time to get it all back into full
operation. Make sure you have necessities like food/gasoline/meds
to last a few days.

Don’t spend too long, or you will be stuck on clogged highways for hours.

Have a look at this and get going! You are in the 10-15 foot storm surge area and the forecast keeps getting worse:

Plus winds of 110kt +

Just go already!

Ida is will be a monster when she hits.
