Riding out a HURRICANE in an RV

[@pianogal853]

I remember watching this at the time, because I was glued to every one of your videos then! Your whit and timing are priceless! You're such a great storyteller, and it would lovely to know more of these stories; your book might be a little too long with all of that. Maybe a sequel, or short stories? You're so good at video storytelling! I always leave your vlogs or tour videos wanting more (though one of your best attributes is timing - not too long or too short). I've ended up watching quite a few van-life videos - a good video is like good comedy - timing is everything. Your frame dwell, music, and story are so good!

[@dreamingkld112]

Glad you came out of his storm ok. You need to have a radio that is battery operated so you can pick up the stations. It works when there's no internet or power. It was a life saver for us during Wilma.

[@Samantha_annie_music]

You are amazing 😂😂😂 “If I’m going to die in a storm it’s not going to be with someone’s yappy sweater dog they push in a stroller” is absolute gold. Haha! Glad you and your rig made it safely through the storm.

[@rosemarydolliver]

I have your same navy blue hose. Love it! I screw the ends together before putting it back in my basement just in case a bug gets in there and crawls up in there. Glad you did ok. I did 2 Cat 5 hurricanes, 13 days apart in ‘17 while living on the tiny island of St. Croix. Folks back home asked, why didn’t you leave. Seriously? Even if a local had a ticket, they can’t get off island due to the need to get the tourists off island. No electricity at our home from September until Christmas Day. Even with a generator you had to ration fuel because you never knew when a fuel supply would be getting to the island.

[@anne-mariemillet2823]

THANK YOU, PATREON RONNIE, for keeping our ginja ninja informed and occupied all night long!! Two shout outs to you!!!

[@janethudson3844]

Glad you are safe now! If something were to happen to you, I don't know who would be able to make me laugh like you do!! You must protect the war wagon, we must protect YOU!!! Love you Casey!

Shout out to Ronnie for keeping our Ginger's mind occupied.

I’m just glad I could help. I know anxiety and when she said she had not access to radar I knew I had to stay up with her... glad she’s ok. -Ronni

Dig a hole under the war wagon at night. Use the Shawshank Redemption method to get rid of dirt. When cows fly by its a level Dorothy.

[@HellsFireChick]

Such a trooper. I am relieved that you are safe. I've never been in a tropical storm nor a hurricane but I was born and raised in a wind battered metropolis. Always, rigs were toppling over on the interstate. My pop's was a truck driver and taught me to figure the wind direction and park myself into the wind since the rigs are designed to withstand such pressure at that angle. It works phenomenally but in such extremes it might still bounce around a bit. Anyway, just my silly two cents. Stay safe out there woman and heal up.

[@parkerposey788]

You are a real trooper Casey. Happy you are safe n sound ☕️🌻

[@lindacrouch9611]

I was up but in a house. The hurricane came in at Ocean Isle Beach. The weird thing was when the eye came in and everything became quiet. Then it started again. I was worried in my house but can’t imagine being in a trailer. Surprised wherever you were that you weren’t told to evacuate. Glad you made it.

[@richunggoy3960]

I went to wal mart and got a cheap Noaa weather radio with battery backup. We had a hurricane in Corpus Christi,about a week before you guys had yours, the radio worked well,and gave good alerts. Glad you are ok.

[@bruceclaxton5721]

I am sitting in my 39 foot 5th wheel watching you at 5 AM in the morning, with a 1 on the way this evening. Its a strong tropical storm and should hit the east coast of Florida as a 1. Thank you for posting this as reality bites and you need to survive. I can pull my slides in and leave if it threatens to get really bad. The one thing my trailer has, in it's favor, is that it is blocked and anchored as a permanent fixture and is not going anywhere, unless it gets hit with something really big, in the form of wind or a another RV. Being alone in an RV through one of these is not for the faint of heart.....Thank you Casey........Sebastian Fl, 11-9-22

[@texasproud8822]

Thanks to Ronnie to help you keep some sanity. Being from Houston I have been thru lots of hurricanes but I was in a house. Your trash can idea was genius. Glad your ok.

[@anne-mariemillet2823]

Thank you for explaining why you didn't hitch up and run AND explained the differences in storm categorizes for those northerners who don't get it til they've been through a cat 3 or better!!

[@BourbonandBullets600]

When I was still working for a newspaper we used to amuse ourselves, when things were slow in the news room, by doing imitations of a TV reporter voice. Extra points were given for the gravitas and drama of the voice in direct inverse proportion to the subject being described, i.e dog chasing its tail, kitten stuck in a.tree, or, my sister in-laws' baby's first word...'it wasn't mama or dada, the startling truth and more tonight on news 11.'

[@dorindachristian6661]

I heard from the news that this year is going to be one of the worst years for hurricanes that we've had in many many years. Therefore, if you stay in the war wagon in a hurricane is on the way come to Greenville South Carolina. I say again that is South Carolina. It is a very easy drive from Wilmington. You shouldn't have a problem finding a place to park the war wagon but if you don't want to park it we have so many Walmarts around here you can't swing a dead cat by the tail without hitting one. They will let you stay in the parking lot. Glad you're safe because you have so much to give and I enjoy listening to you my strong red-haired woman.

[@jet4415]

I was raised on the coast of Florida. I've been through so many hurricanes that I moved inland when I was 18. Good god, I can't imagine being being in an RV!

[@audie2574]

Shout out to lifeline Ronnie and our Casey for riding it out together. Glad you are safe, Road Warrior! I've been in one hurricane/tropical storm and that was enough and all I got was some leaves up on my deck (Hilo, Hawaii).

[@rvingkeepitrolling8797]

Florence was real bi-ch flooding was awful. We had a storm 2 weeks before this hurricane trees all over the place . This hurricane was windy we did have lots of water. Never lost power no trees down water was gone by morning. I'm here in long's SC it was supposed hit mrytle beach. Anyway glad it wasn't bad I fully agree with your choice I'm in a RV, but have block house here well more like building we stayed in it tornado was my worry. We had bath House at camp ground I was at lumber river during in Florence bad flooding I was on the river. I just love your personality.😆

[@evelynlowery4521]

Casey this is Walter from Robertsdale Alabama. You have the greatest personality and the greatest sense of humour. You made me laugh!!

[@rebeccaryan2391]

I rode out a hurricane in my tiny class C ( with my dog). I fled Florida but then hurricane turned and I was stuck on high hill with roads flooded around me.. preventing me from relocating. I pointed my rig straight into whipping wind. Power was out around me while I rocked & rocked terrified that I was flipping. I literally bounced side to side to keep rig upright. Winds so strong that my side mirrors were torn off. No cell service to see where hurricane was while in the eye. Never again..nope..nope..nope

[@janetamerantes3640]

Oh my goodness 😮 how scary 😱

[@rebeccaryan2391]

Tip. NOAA all hazards radio. Has alert to wake you up if tornado warning. Battery backup.

[@lyfandeth]

NOAA radios are the boy who called wolf. Their SAME system often doesn't work, so get awakened day and night for thunderstorms and rain squalls 50 miles away. A good idea, poorly implemented.

[@BayonetBob]

@@lyfandeth mine has settings.

[@lyfandeth]

The problem seems to be not just that mine predates settings, but lump two large counties into one broadcast, ignoring the SAME districts or perhaps the whole system.

[@JoJo-uz7hq]

Casey - I live full time in an RV identical to yours (2018 GD 30BH) and I am right in the path of this upcoming Tropical Depression, soon to become a hurricane. I loved your idea of filling my tanks to help group the rig. After watching this video I am a bit scared - would run if I could but can't at the moment. Wondering if you have any other advice you could share.

[@dwightlilly4208]

We, (wife and I) road out Hurricane Rita in Texas, I was out in and had to walk on during the infamous Columbus day storm (typhoon) in Olympia, Wa in 1961 or 62 can't remember the actual year. And earthquakes, lots of them. Not bragging or anything but know the terror that you were in. We went through 100 gal. of diesel running our generator in the motorhome during Rita. We actually had water coming in through side window frames. In reality Casey, no amount of explaining in detail will get through to people who have never been through a hurricane or earthquake. I do advice you get a emergency radio, the crank up kind that requires no power, not even solar. And has a weather band where you can get NOAA 24/7 weather updates for the area. Oh, did I mention the tornado issues we had in wacky Waco, Texas? I'm surprised you are already selling the war wagon. Take care.

[@Founderant]

[@InfiniteBumblebee337]

I used to live in Wilmington years ago, so I know your pain. 5 hurricanes in 3 years! Shuffling off to Raleigh is not necessarily better as the hurricanes follow the Cape Fear river straight to Raleigh. That, and all the other reasons you mentioned. Wilmington gets so many hurricanes, 24 hours after the landfall, all is back to 'normal' and its all about clean-up. Of course, Carolina Beach will be shoveling displaced sand for the next few weeks...

[@lyfandeth]

Ground screws and steel cable over the whole rig are cheap and effective for tying down the rig.

[@CaseyRoman]

Metal cables rubbing up and down or imprinted against a fiberglass body and membrane roof sounds like a worse idea then the movie Cats.

[@lyfandeth]

@@CaseyRoman You can use padding (old fire hoses are discarded) or Dyneema line to prevent chafe. Or install a couple of D rings or other tie down points. Still beats getting rolled over. Unless, yeah, you COULD do that evacuation drive.

[@CaseyRoman]

Lyfan Deth luckily so many of us have that box of old fire hoses we keep in the back

[@lyfandeth]

@@CaseyRoman Check out any boatyard in hurricane season. Ground screws, cables, and a little care are hkw the yachts are kept upright while on jackstands. And yes, a paint job can run a fast 30 grand, they just know how to deal with chafe. And tying things down.

Thanks for sharing.. Wow... that water was really sloshing there... Pretty powerful. Glad that it all turned out OK though. - Future plans... Maybe you can find a building to park behind to get away from the wind... Better yet, an 'L' shaped building (and no trees)... to ride out the next storm at. Airplane hangars come to mind as well... ha ha. - Thank God and Ronnie both, for helping to get you through....
