OBX this week

I just so hope everyone is safe. I've never been in or near a hurricane but my thinking about them is similar to what I feel about our fires out here in the west ... grab people, pets & papers - and RPod if possible but we don't leave irreplacables in it - and drive away. I realize that it's not always as simple as that, and I won't presume to begin to begin to know what you all are dealing with back there, but I know that I wish you all the best and absolutely safety. 

Our favorite late winter/early spring spot the last couple of years has been Huntington Beach State Park. I was just about to ask you folks for recommendations up through OBX similar for next year. I hope and pray there are places that are similar after this beast passes. It is a beast.

Wish we could escape somewhere but still have to earn the daily paycheck.  Plan to fill the water tank of the Pod and top of the battery.  Will start bagging extra ice for the freezer tonight and fill any other water containers we have.  Got to experience Hugo here in Charlotte in 89....lots of memories.  

The mandatory evac is on now for Ocracoke and Hatteras. They're calling for both visitors and residents to be out by this evening. Its a free for all. Raleigh is going to get dumped on as is central Virginia no matter where it makes landfall, so that won't be fun camping for awhile either. Latest guidance is that the eye will make landfall around Myrtle/Wilmington/Surf City but highway 12 here is so low that we're already getting some overwash at high tide.
