      Great tips! Having lived in Florida, I’m no stranger to hurricanes. I would add to keep up with the storm by using a hurricane tracker app on your phone. It’s also recommended to leave 72 hours before the hurricane hits to stay ahead of evacuation traffic. Aim to evacuate to a destination about an hour or so outside the hurricane’s path, depending on its strength and direction.

      If the hurricane has hit, do not attempt to take your RV. You will likely face ridiculous traffic and strong winds, making travel dangerous. Like Tory said, make sure your RV is insured, as it can be replaced (you can’t be). Instead, take important documents like insurance papers, extra cash if possible, pets, water, and nonperishable food with you.
