My Husband’s entire family live on Pine Island. All of the bridges are gone so there is no way off or on the island except by boat. A friend picked up my Mother and sister-in-law in his boat and got them off the island then we drove down from Charleston SC to get them. I am so grateful for all of the people that brought food, water and gas to help. Thank the Lord that everyone is ok physically. Thank you for your message of support. God is good!

YES!!! THE HOUSES ARE ON STILTS!! That tells you EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW!!

Glad you guys evacuated & got off the island safely. Many people wait until it's too late & than they whine when Mother Nature rages on. Hurricanes & tropical are nothing to be messing around with in a RV. Neither are tornadoes or snowstorms. Be safe folks.

Glad you all are safe from the storm. Excellent call on leaving the campground when you did. I drove that same route 2 weeks ago in our class C and that tunnel is tight! We would not have made that tunnel in our 38’ Class A. If you don’t already subscribe to Ryan Hall Y’all you should check him out. He has excellent coverage of the weather during all storms. We also have the Radar Omega App which is a great tool to have when your home is on wheels. Watching JJ broke my heart and Kensley warmed it 🥰. As Ryan Hall always say’s “Don’t be scared, be prepared”. When we bought our first motorhome I asked a friend who had a motorhome for his best advice. He told me “never get into a situation you can’t get out of”. I0 years later I still use his advice. I always scope out gas stations, Campground entrances and exits before arrival. When seconds count, having an escape plan is key. Safe Travels 😎

Hey guys, Glad you made it out and back safe. I have a friend and his family, fulltimers. Who were running from the storm and flooding in Ft Myers Florida. He and his family own a 5th wheel pulled by a dually and as they were leaving, driving on the highway, the water was so deep and was coming into the truck and the 5th wheel was floating off to one side. Luckily it only happened for a few hundred feet and the trailer tires finally hit bottom and lined back up. They made to higher dryer ground, driving all the way to Lake City Florida.. Good Luck and God Bless

Totally agree. Constantly monitoring the weather and leaving before the flooding starts is paramount

Love that bridge. Makes my cummins turbo really scream coming out of it. 👍

I'm glad you are OK. Storms are hard on kids but cuddling with Mom and the TV is a wonderful distraction. Everyone affected by hurricane Ian is in my prayers. Take care of yourselves

Great video. Brought back memories of June 1998. My sister lives im Deland FL. We were down for her wedding. Wildfires everywhere. Driving down 95 and 4 with both sides of the road on fire. Had to run from 2 campgrounds and spend the night in a rest area on 4 near Orlando. I'll never forget the smoke.

Thank goodness you guys are safe!🙏🏻

I'm so glad that y'all are safe. I lived in Beaufort County for a number of years. Twins Lakes is literally on a peninsula with Chocowinity Bay on one side and the Pamlico River on the other side. That area frequently flooded. Safe travels.

So very glad you all are ok. Praying you stay safe. Blessings

I live in south Florida, on the SE coast. I was without power for 5 days and felt so fortunate that my house was standing. I’m a reptile keeper and a very good friend of mine has a reptile facility in Punta Gorda which got hit hard. The devastation there and Ft Myers is incredible. My neighbor and I just got back from Ft Myers. We took our travel trailers over with tools, phone chargers, infant supplies and MRE’s with us. I absolutely can’t sufficiently express how devastating the destruction is. I saw the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew and this is worse.

Though it's hectic and less than ideal I'm happy your on the move and safe.

keep making smart decisions. ya'll are awesome

I've owned an Airstream for 22 years. It is VERY stable on the road, no sway whatsoever (first a Reese hitch with sway bar, now an Equalizer 4 point which i love).

I fly into Norfolk a lot and see that bridge disappear under the water….crazy! Glad y’all are doing well! We have had to make a run for it a couple times now during bad weather. We are out in the Southwest right now and watching Ian devastate the east coast has been heartbreaking.

Glad you are OK. We had to evacuate as it was supposed to hit Tampa an we have a trailer. That was this past Tuesday. We understand how you are feeling. Our Class A is OOC but the best part is the Trailer is OK with a lot of yard clean up that is taking this old phart a bit of time to complete. Glad you are all safe and dry, doing well. Prayers and keep on trucking.

When you go through Indiana, you'll see bill boards call Hensley.

Amazing driving through that tunnel!!!

Glad you found a safe place to weather the storm . I live in North Carolina. Ian was a strange acting hurricane . I live about 2 hours from the coast . We had places under water during Fran and Floyd. You did the right thing moving away from rivers .

Nathan, I felt your pain when you drove the Bay Bridge and Tunnel. It is very stressful. Glad you all are safe. I expect Hensley has a new pair of pink boots on order (that fit). JJ was stressed. It's contagious from parents to the kids. We got caught in a huge thunder and lighting storm when our daughter was about 3. We were in a campground in Yellowstone NP. We kept reassuring her that were knew we were safe and we should enjoy the storm (several times). Prayers to all impacted.

I am so happy you guys are safe. My sister and her husband’s campground in Port Charlotte (Harbor Lakes) looked like a bomb went off. They were unable to get their camper out as they were home in Maryland. She got photos today of their camper and the fact it is still standing is a miracle. So many lost so much, we are just grateful they were not down there yet. Love you guys and you all made the right call. Safe travels.

@@LessJunkMoreJourney we returned from Port Charlotte after spending 8 days of clean up. Her camper was totaled but we were able to pack most of it out.
