Evacuated From Panama City Beach, FL

Relocated yesterday from Panama City Beach, FL to my home base in Maplesville, AL due to tropical storm warnings. No issues with the 250 mile drive, but what did I find when I arrived? Tropical Storm Warnings in central Alabama. You can run but you just can't hide. At least I am 200 miles from the nearest coast and over 100' above sea level. Bring it on.

    I arrived here on Sunday afternoon and the rain caught up with me Monday (yesterday) morning. It literally hasn't stopped raining for the past 24 hours, but seems to have stopped now. No wind or flooding issues here. Radar shows we should be dry for a bit. No issues here, no leaks, etc. The only problem is it is 59 degrees here right now and I have been on the Florida gulf coast for the past 3.5 months and I'm "cold". I did check my furnace a little bit ago and it worked fine and seems ready for winter. I have an external 150 gallon propane tank that I will hook up today for the winter.

    We have guests here from Jacksonville staying in our MoHo . They came in last Friday and are wanting to go home tonight. We are trying to get them to stay one more day at least. We are just outside Greenville SC and did get some wind and rain, but nothing to complain about. These people do not have an RV, but now they are thinking they want to buy one.
