As for dodging a hurricane, my idea would just get away from flooding by moving inland and ASAP return to protect my property if theres anything left. In a CAt 3 I do not have the option of staying home. I learned alot the last few years, with Sandy and Irene as visitors. As for a bug out long distance, impractcal in my case. As I stated I would have to drive through a heavly populated area over several brige or tunnel crossings that would create an impossible impeneratble vehicle bottleneck. From my perspective, it is possible to have an effective plan for natural disater, but as far as complete breakdown of order, not possible. To many variables, to many things out of my control. In such a case I would need to be aware, flexable and lucky. I cant realistically get to the boonies, plus, thats where everyone Im trying to get away from would be heading. So.... my plans keep to senerios most likly to happen and that I can actually win at. Such as hurricanes, ice storms , blizzards and the like. I leave the zombie appoclpse , and collapse of government with mass chaos etc to the movies.
