1. We just decided to stay in Texas for August

believe it or not (at least in the Hill Country we can float on intertubes in the river - lots of sunscreen!) ... because I was afraid of potential weather as well. With Christmas/New Years lining up on weekends this year we're hoping we can do a decent trip to Tampa/Miami at the end of Dec. without missing too much work.

I've never done RV/camping so I can't help on that. My husband is from Miami originally (and survived Hurricane Andrew) and as a result we bolt from Houston when the warnings come. He said it was not pleasant at all to be without power for weeks etc .... even though his parent's house held up really well with hurricane shutters. I guess driving to get away or hunkering down in a shelter (they shelter in the schools in Miami) would depend upon how fast the storm is coming in and how close you are to the shore.

Safe travels!
