I don't know if this catches you before the storm hits but here is what I did in Sandy and Irene both of which I was in the camper for. I got the wind direction prediction from the NOAA site which is hour by hour. Go to the 7 day forcast type in the zip of where your at. In the lower right of the page click on the graph. With hourly acurrate prediction of wind direction I was able to keep turning the truck to face the wind. I picked the local high school lot as it offered building shelter on one side and a sturdy chain link fence on the other. My thinking was the fence would catch any blowing debris. Also made sure no trees or power lines where close. No structure on nearby roofs to blow off and hit me. I kept the jacks up so not to stress them with the constant rocking. As long as your mostly pointed into the wind you should be fine. Plus I had wifi till the power went out from the school :)
Good Luck!
Windy.com is really good.
