    That is the one benefit of living in a house that is truly mobile. If the weather sucks, you can leave. I am sorry to hear you're both sick, but you can drive down again once the storm passes. I would have hightailed it out of there too.

      @@DownsizingMakesCents You had one heck of a house! I debate on whether I want an RV, a real house or both regularly. I currently live in a double-wide, which is neither a house nor mobile. So, it's the worst of all worlds. My biggest complaint on my house is that it can't be moved without great effort. so, if any severe weather were to hit me, I can't move, and nowhere is safe. I did just see that the storm moved more east than north. Looks like you guys missed it! Feel better. Things will look up soon!

Last year we stayed during a tropical storm and I had a ton of vegetation on top of my 5th wheel. Nothing damaging though. Might have stayed in the area, but not under trees.
