Last year we had to evacuate because of Hurricane Matthew. We were gone within a few hours of the posting of a Mandatory Evacuation. The posting was a little more than 36 hours before the Hurricane was to be in our area. We packed up the motorhome and drove west about 175 miles. We live in a county with a little more than 100,000 people. Traffic was moving along the evacuation route pretty well when not going through larger towns. It would have been a completely different story if there were 6.5 million people trying to evacuate.
We had the luxury of driving a 1/4 mile and picking up our motorhome from storage, packing it up and going. Now that we own a large TT that we leave at our seasonal site year 'round about 800 miles from home, it would be hard to drop everything, get to our TT and move it to safety. It's a 12 hour drive without traffic to get to our TT. Once I got there, I'd evacuate west, which means trying to get through Philadelphia traffic which is terrible at 10 am on a Sunday. It would be bumper to bumper for hours and hours on end. It would be pointless to even try.
We'd just hope for the best.
