Go straight inland about 100 miles find a large elevated parking lot with trees and light standards you can get away from. When the wind blows head your rig into the wind and set the stabilizer down. Kick back and ride it out. Don't leave home until you are sure it is coming your way.

Trying to "ride it out" anywhere in a lightweight highly mobile structure like a RV in HIGH WINDS IS a recipe for disaster. RVs are worse than mobile homes and plenty of people have been killed when their mobile homes where ripped from their tie downs and rolled or flipped.

Poor advice.

A "elevated" parking lot sounds like it would be good for flooding issues, the danger there is you are now much higher elevation and the winds tend to be HIGHER the higher in elevation you go. That is why the general advise when encountering a Tornado is to get out of your vehicle and GET AS LOW AS YOU CAN, in a ditch or such. With hurricanes, you do get a lot of rain which presents the flooding problem, so ditches no longer are a good idea.

If I was the OP and in the same situation right now, I would be ABANDONING THE RV if you can't get SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES AWAY FROM THE LINE OF THE STORM IN TIME, heading either IN LAND to a sturdy FIXED structure OR finding the NEAREST STORM SHELTER or sturdy building like a Hotel would be the better advice.

MB and surrounding areas are rather low in elevation for quite a few miles inland. Lots of wind and rain tends to cause flash flooding there in a hurry. Have to go a long way inland to get some appreciable elevation that may not flood easily but once again, if you do not get out of the direct path, the winds alone may not make for a safe shelter in a RV.

Head the orders to evacuate or if shelter in place if given, find nearest shelter, use your head and follow directions and routes.

You can replace your RV and stuff, you cannot replace your life.
