Hurrican Florence
As of now I am in direct line of having this storm hit us. We live about 60-70 miles inland. Kinston, NC. Should I hook up my 5th wheel to my truck or just leave it unhooked?

Hooking up to the truck will have little effect. Your best bet is to leave the area with your 5er. Take important papers, medicine and pet and go. The RV may have to bee your home.
I presume you have insurance on the home and furnishings. Sitting in the house and wait for trees to fall on it, or wait for water to flood it does no good for you or the dwelling.
Look at the aftermath from Harvey last year on the Texas coast. Rockport took the direct hit and it destroyed mobile home as well as sticks and bricks homes. Tornadoes are a side effect from a hurricane.
The big issue is the lack of services after the storm. Many people loose power and water for days and some for weeks. Communications is shut down and there are lines to get the basic food and fuel.
Having been through this we do not intend to go through another Hurricane. If you are "dead" set on staying, make sure you have all of your papers in a safe place and place a identification card on a sealed bag on your person so you are easily identified. Let family members know where you intend to ride out the storm.
Best of luck,
Ken
