For those that don't live in potential Hurricane evacuation areas it is hard to grasp the scale of a hurricane's potential path. Note the eye of Harvey passed within 5 miles of my house today as a tropical storm, I am currently in my motorhome in Texarkana on the way home from Wyoming.
Most hurricane warnings are very general, in the case of Harvey, the target area had been narrowed down to about 400 miles of coastline 3 days before the storm hit. Then of course Harvey wandered around, and did not take the usual inland and dissipate route. If you were an RV owner in the area what would you do with less than 96 hours or notice, knowing millions of people will be on the roads, that wind gusts of 40-50 miles an hour may occur 24-36 hours before the storm hits? Assume you also have a house, and family to deal with, plus the RV may be stored miles away, perhaps closer to the coast, and getting to it against the flow of evacuees might be nearly impossible.
