Tropical Storm Fay

Fay came.... Fay went....

Made me wonder how fulltime RVers manage when a storm/hurricane lurks in the distance. How far do you go away from it? When do you decide to leave? How strong does the storm have to be for people to leave?

We live in Key Largo so we were putting patio chairs away, tying down outdoor furniture, putting our downstairs refrigerators up on blocks, parked the cars on higher ground, and stocked up on the basic essentials.... water, batteries, can food, extra ice, BEER/WINE (for the hurricane party).... LoL!!!

Although it was no more than a windy Summer storm, it gave us an opportunity to have a practice drill and thankfully that's all it was. We did get some flooding from our canal but nothing like when Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Wilma came around in 2005.

Moral of the story: When fulltime rving, stay away from the Florida Keys during Hurricane season. And if I am anywhere near it, just leave at the first sign of one brewing near our coast.

In the meantime......
Happy Travels!
