I'm sorry, I just DON'T understand why anyone is even considering riding the storm out. For what it's worth, Indiana State Parks has lots of opening right now. Why chance things or gamble with this? Take a vacation for a couple weeks. Head North, get out of harms way.
If your home survives, you'll have it to go back to after your vacation. If it doesn't survive, there's nothing you could have done anyway by riding it out.
I'm sorry, my house is just a house, stick and brick with wire and plaster, fully insured. It's not worth my life or the lives of my family, simply trying to prove a point how tough I may be.
If you have a camper, why NOT go!
Funny... My sister and brother-in-law live in Dallas Texas and they decided on the spur of a moment to take a vacation all last week. They don't have a camper, but they do have a tent. They left Texas, passed through Indiana to see our mother, and then headed on to Michigan for the remainder of the week. Criticize if you may, (that's OK), but both of them are in the medical profession, and I think the reason for their sudden decision to "escape" was not the weather, but the potential of being called into work on a voluntary basis and put hours in they would not get paid for. For whatever reason, they got out of Dallas and took a vacation MUCH further North for a week.
Why not? Be safe, whatever you do!
