Im in myrtle beach.. hurricane help.

Just off the top of my head, I wouldn't go to any forest. Even if you don't get full huricane-force winds, I would think that any winds over 40 mph, especially with heavy rain to soak the ground, would cause trees to fall.

Even if none fall right on top of you, they could still fall over the roads you used to get in, keeping you from getting out in any timely manner. Plus, heavy rain would most likely cause the forest roads to become impassable until they dry out. And I would guess that the government would be too busy trying to clear real roads to be able to worry about clearing roads in a forest or park.

Even if no trees come down, I would expect dead branches and stuff IN the trees to go flying, probably causing significant damage to your rig if they hit it.

If I was having to ride out a bad storm in an RV, I would try to find a parking lot where I could park close to a sturdy building that could block the wind.

I wouldn't be to concerned at this point give it a couple days. The dangerous thing is the wind in your situation. Either site that you mentioned would be good. There may be other choices a little closer like Bass Lake in Dillon.

Also consider heading south of your area as chances are this one will go north.

Just my 2 cents worth.

It depends on the magnitude of the storm.

Three years ago we were at Willowtree and endured a mild hurricane. Lots and lots of rain and many main roads had water closing them. Strong winds rocked the 5th wheel. It was not fun but tolerable.

If it is a bad storm then head out. I'd ask at the campground office on what they think is a safe location to travel to. They have encountered this before and will have the best answer.

Good luck and keep safe!

Get your camper ready for travel. Wait until you get official word you need to evacuate. If you don't want to wait that long, then head out now. If you wait, when the word comes... get out! Either eay, drive West. Keep going till you can't drive any more. Stop at the first KOA for a couple days and ride it out there. When everything finally passes, head back.

You should be able to easily drive a couple hundred miles inland in a day, getting you away from the main blunt of the hurricane. If you can drive farther, then do. There's a pretty nice KOA right near the Tennessee, North Carolina border on I-40. We stayed there a couple times for an overnight. You only need to stay a couple days for everything to pass. Keep it simple is your best policy.

There is no way to know. For most of the storms the answer is yes, BUT there is still chances of significant rain & wind in that area. It will depend on where along the coast the storm lands and the strength at that time.

1990's Hugo came ashore at Charleston area and when it went thru Charlotte area it was still 55 mph sustained and 90+ gusts. The major storms since then have had less wind but LOTS more rain so there can be huge flooding issues even 100+ miles inland.

Uwharrie is a good place to get to NOW and then you have more options available when the storms get close enough to tell where/when landfall occurs. If you wait until that is known then you will have significant traffic issues. Sure you can wait & see but, if you do HAVE to leave, you will be doing it with a lot of other travelers.

I can maybe head more south west to oconee national forrest?

Go far enough away that you are out of the storm path. That might be 40 miles of 200 miles, depends on the storm itself. You clearly have internet, research where the storm is forecast and move outside of that zone. Keep evaluating as the storm approaches and move if necessary. I would avoid trees if it were me...

Sure I would like to find an open field... but where?

I live on the beach about 30 miles North of you. We have been through this many times.

We are waiting till the storm is about 3 days out to decide. We are on the beach with the TT in hte driveway. If it does comes this way we will have a mandatory evacuation so no choice but leave. The direction depends on the storm track Monday or so...if it is coming south of us we will head North etc. You will get an idea from the track as to where it will go once it hits land.

They are really accurate now about 3 days out. Right now it is too early to tell where it will hit.

Last hurricane we had was 2 years ago and we went to just outside of Charlotte. All was good, but that was a cat 1. If it is stronger then where to go is more of a problem. Like someone said when Hugo hit we had beach neighbors that had more damage in Cahrlotte from falling trees than at their beach house.

So bottom line we are waiting till Monday to decide which way to run.

Go straight inland about 100 miles find a large elevated parking lot with trees and light standards you can get away from. When the wind blows head your rig into the wind and set the stabilizer down. Kick back and ride it out. Don't leave home until you are sure it is coming your way.
