Thoughts and Prayers for all of our Heartland family up and down the east coast as Hurricane Matthew approaches. I personally have family that live from Jupiter Beach up to Ocean Drive section of Myrtle Beach and have been in contact with them as they prepare for the storm. My TN home has been opened up for them.

We left MBTP yesterday along with many others as that coastal part of Horry Co was ordered to start evacuating. We experienced heavy WB traffic to Columbia and are settled into a SP for the weekend. Hopefully we can return next week to finish our stay.

We just arrived home to Silver Springs FL one week ago, got all the patio furniture out and had to put it all away again to prepare for hurricane Matthew.
We were a bit nervous sitting out this massive storm in our new RV but we are fulltimers and if we were going down it would be with our new RV. We own our RV lot and we knew our lot was high and dry and no large trees around us. Truth be told if we were still living in our old stix n'brix I would have been more nervous as we had lots of trees on our property.
Marion County was on the outside edge of the storm so we had tropical storm warnings. Today we started receiving the brunt of the rains and wind and it lasted most of the day. The RV held up great! We are still under a tropical storm warning until 2 am Saturday morning. We took a walk thru our park around 6 pm tonite and everyone made it thru fine, only some dead palm frongs down.
If we had been anywhere near the coastal area we would have hitched up and moved. Flagler Beach area sustained major damage on A1A not sure how Beverly Beach Campground made out but I would suspect they sustained major damaged.
No doubt we were very lucky with this storm!

My son is a Marine and he and his family live on Ladys Island. While his wife and our grandson were evacuated he had to stay on the base as he is part of the evac team. This translates to helping in the cleanup as well. The following pic was taken yesterday. He is surgical with a chain saw. I know cause I taught him!!

Good call! We rode it out in our s&b and it was concerning at times. Springmaid Pier was destroyed as was a pier in Surfside. Beaches suffered a lot of erosion. We haven't been able to get to the storage facility where our BH resides when not traveling. Hope to get there tomorrow.
Safe travels

Hope your BH is ok. MBTP refunded our $$$ so we've spent the past few days driving up the spine of the Appalachians checking out the foliage. We're 100 miles from home. There's always next year!!!

Our BH is fine!! WHEW! Needs a good bath, but fine otherwise. Glad y'all got refunded since some places here, we've heard, refused to refund. Have safe travels

A big relief I'm sure that your unit survived.

Truly since our floor plan is discontinued. Couldn't imagine trying to replace it.
