There are no hotel vacancies for 100 miles ... including Orlando ... which has more hotels than anywhere.
People will be fleeing by the millions.
My well traveled 8x10 tent is in the basement.
Pitched it on coral crumbs at Disney's Ft. Wilderness once.
And have slept in the snow while on a hunting trip.
A white canvas historic designed tent came up yesterday used. 1500. Too big for me to put up solo efficiently but would suffice for temporary shelter. A family could make do fine. And being simple means no zippers or complicated to replace parts or poles ect..
Panther Primitives (who made the tent I ogled yesterday and built my kid's who had it up a couple weeks ago) is going out of business after many years. Or has already. A surprise to me. They were among the better know brands for historic and serviceable tentage.
Why they (and others) were not contracted to build a hundred thousand shelters for GOVCO relief to have stored dry for emergencies , escapes me.
A disaster site could employ far more tents faster and distribute them in greater number much faster that trailers.
Let FEMA teach sanitation and hygiene while providing camps and service sites in between with potable water, communal fire to cook, and portable showers and soap.
What's a hundred miles? Go two hundred. Or three if need be. Get thee as with a falling tree , beyond the fury's potential reach.
Hang in there.
Todays a good day to be Northbound.
I've always thought I go too fast through Kentucky.
Macon Ga. about as far South as I've pursued and acquired easily years ago a non reserved room.
