My Husband’s entire family live on Pine Island. All of the bridges are gone so there is no way off or on the island except by boat. A friend picked up my Mother and sister-in-law in his boat and got them off the island then we drove down from Charleston SC to get them. I am so grateful for all of the people that brought food, water and gas to help. Thank the Lord that everyone is ok physically. Thank you for your message of support. God is good!
I'm glad you are OK. Storms are hard on kids but cuddling with Mom and the TV is a wonderful distraction. Everyone affected by hurricane Ian is in my prayers. Take care of yourselves
@@Tammy121111 if you don't have flooding or wind damage just be grateful! Take a look at all of the devastation that Ian perpetrated over much of the Florida peninsula with millions of homeless people and well over 200 people dead.
Glad you all are safe from the storm. Excellent call on leaving the campground when you did. I drove that same route 2 weeks ago in our class C and that tunnel is tight! We would not have made that tunnel in our 38’ Class A. If you don’t already subscribe to Ryan Hall Y’all you should check him out. He has excellent coverage of the weather during all storms. We also have the Radar Omega App which is a great tool to have when your home is on wheels. Watching JJ broke my heart and Kensley warmed it 🥰. As Ryan Hall always say’s “Don’t be scared, be prepared”. When we bought our first motorhome I asked a friend who had a motorhome for his best advice. He told me “never get into a situation you can’t get out of”. I0 years later I still use his advice. I always scope out gas stations, Campground entrances and exits before arrival. When seconds count, having an escape plan is key. Safe Travels 😎

Glad you guys evacuated & got off the island safely. Many people wait until it's too late & than they whine when Mother Nature rages on. Hurricanes & tropical are nothing to be messing around with in a RV. Neither are tornadoes or snowstorms. Be safe folks.
Hey guys, Glad you made it out and back safe. I have a friend and his family, fulltimers. Who were running from the storm and flooding in Ft Myers Florida. He and his family own a 5th wheel pulled by a dually and as they were leaving, driving on the highway, the water was so deep and was coming into the truck and the 5th wheel was floating off to one side. Luckily it only happened for a few hundred feet and the trailer tires finally hit bottom and lined back up. They made to higher dryer ground, driving all the way to Lake City Florida.. Good Luck and God Bless
Thank you for your support of Hurricane 🌀 Ian victims. We live in the Daytona Beach area that was hard hit by historic flooding and wind damage too! No where near the wiping out of barrier islands like Sanibel, Pine Island, Fort Myers Beach and much of SW Florida. We have many friends and relatives who have been profoundly impacted by the second deadliest Hurricane 🌀in the US behind Katrina.
Glad everyone is safe! My heart and prayers go out to all those affected by the storm. Having been forced to move by 8 inches of rain and 3 feet of snow,I understand the hassle of having to move quickly. Stay safe everyone.
I’m glad you made the choice to leave. I’m in Florida but we made out good in our area unfortunately others have not. Prayers to those in South Florida.
Great video. Brought back memories of June 1998. My sister lives im Deland FL. We were down for her wedding. Wildfires everywhere. Driving down 95 and 4 with both sides of the road on fire. Had to run from 2 campgrounds and spend the night in a rest area on 4 near Orlando. I'll never forget the smoke.
Tough to make those moment to moment choices, but feels so good to know our home is moveable! We had left FL and were already at a Lake Hartwell SC campground luckily, so we barely got any rain. Glad you guys are safe!
So funny when I see people so excited about the tunnel. I grew with the tunnel so no big deal. We didn’t get much here in sc. but gone now and the weather is about gone. Just a little cooler. Safe travels ❤
Welcome to NC. I watch yall every week. It's really great to see the TH-cam Full Rvers come to your state. NC is beautiful and has a lot to see but we are in the line of hurricane weather. Sorry. Thank you for what you do. Love LJMJ!!!
I'm sending many prayers for you and all that was affected by Hurricane Ian. I'm so thankful that you got out of campground that had 2 feet of water. You are in my prayers and thoughts. Sending much love and thankful that you are safe. GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY.
The pink boots. I know. I bought a pair of every available size when my granddaughter was little and LOVED pink. She wore pink boots for YEARS. I think they were on sale at Target for maybe $5. Worth every penny.
So glad you were all alright after the flood in the park. Glad you moved on and went to chick-fil-A. I love that place. That was so cool going under water in that tunnel. It’s scary at first. I did it going from Michigan where I’m from to Canada. It’s nice though after you get used to it.
I live in south Florida, on the SE coast. I was without power for 5 days and felt so fortunate that my house was standing. I’m a reptile keeper and a very good friend of mine has a reptile facility in Punta Gorda which got hit hard. The devastation there and Ft Myers is incredible. My neighbor and I just got back from Ft Myers. We took our travel trailers over with tools, phone chargers, infant supplies and MRE’s with us. I absolutely can’t sufficiently express how devastating the destruction is. I saw the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew and this is worse.
My son, 40 yo, doesn’t understand why I watch TH-cam instead of TV. Well, he just stood behind me and watched this entire blog! He loves you guys! Your positive messages are so needed right now. Thank God for you. God bless your family.❣️~ TN Nana
I ready love your channel guys. You both are so down earth. I hate to see the floods but the decisions you made were the best for your whole family. I haven’t heard you guys say it directly but I’m pretty sure you guys are saved. Most people don’t use the word, blessed and the mention of Franklin Graham’s Samaritans Purse, really confirmed it to me. Love your footage and real life emotions your family went through during those storms. God Bless your whole family and stay safe. This is Alan, saying GREETINGS from Riverside in Southern California.
Glad you found a safe place to weather the storm . I live in North Carolina. Ian was a strange acting hurricane . I live about 2 hours from the coast . We had places under water during Fran and Floyd. You did the right thing moving away from rivers .
I never understood how people get freaked out over the Chesapeake Bay tunnels I love it! And we always stop midway for a snack and to look at the view. That said I’ve never had a 5ver behind me
We went through the bridge-tunnel system a number of times driving from Florida to Vermont. I always looked forward to Chesapeake Bay as a significant landmark en route.!
We just did the bridge tunnel in September. Wilson NC to Allenstown NH. With our 375BH. We stopped at the rest stop overnight. Love that route. We use 95 instead of the back way. Just like the roads better. Been making that trip for 30+ years, 5 with ŔV's.
At least one of my nieces is in Florida and had to go to and emergency shelter others still have no power and have to boil water. :( I missed when you posted this and I'm relieved you were able to get out of there. Prayers for everyone, love from Michigan!
I'm so glad that y'all are safe. I lived in Beaufort County for a number of years. Twins Lakes is literally on a peninsula with Chocowinity Bay on one side and the Pamlico River on the other side. That area frequently flooded. Safe travels.
Nathan and Marissa, You are bold and strong in spirit people. You're not afraid to move forward. You don't lose your temper in difficult situations. You do not lose optimism where it is no longer there. You give people joy and hope. Thank you for your adventures. Good luck to you and smooth roads...
So I'm not the only one who likes bridges?!? My father was a civil engineer and took us on a bona fide pilgrimage to the Macinac Straights Bridge. AWESOME!
I RV full time in Orlando with my dog. Left my rig behind and rode it out at my sisters house. Thankfully no damage during Ian. I rode out Nicole in my rig. No flooding just minor swaying.
I am so glad you guys stayed safe! Poor JJ broke my heart a little though! So hard for them at that age for sure! Storms are super scary as adults and kids just don't know how to process that fear!
This was so interesting and I’m thankful you are ok. My prayers go out to all those who suffered loss of any kind due to the hurricane. I truly love you all ❤️
We have been in southern West Virginia camped by a mountain stream as Ian's remnants have brought us rain since Friday night. We live on the coast of NC and know the area you were in. We usually ride out hurricanes in our "stilts and sticks" but this was our first tropical system in the Airstream. Very thankful many came through this one safe and sound, but prayerful for all those who did not. Samaritan's Purse is already at work in SW Florida and is a great steward of donations for disaster relief.
I agree. A class C is very sketchy in high winds. If you’re not paying attention you’re in the next lane in a heart beat. I have a Lance travel trailer I tow with a Tacoma now. It’s not bad but if there’s a high wind warning I stay put. I spent two extra days in Grand Junction Co last April because of high wind warnings in Nebraska.
I would love that recipe if its sugar free ! Newly diagnosed diabetic and having a hard time finding any kind of treat I can actually eat . That tunnel would freak me out for sure ! Glad you are safe !
I've owned an Airstream for 22 years. It is VERY stable on the road, no sway whatsoever (first a Reese hitch with sway bar, now an Equalizer 4 point which i love).
Glad you guys are safe.The kids did awesome.keeping everyone in my prayers.Most important is have each other and the kids.You did the right thing.Stay safe and a great week 🙏🙏💐
As a Class C owner I have to agree it's tough in wind, I'm exhausted after six hours in the wind but on a good day I can do 8-10 hours. I had a pop up travel trailer and it was a breeze to tow in the wind but I also had sway bars installed.
You both are so correct about being blessed if we are safe and still have a house, or RV. I live live in Ocala, fl. We were supposed to get the storm but we didnt. I pray for those who lost so much. Love your videos guys. Charley and Laura
I’m feeling so grateful that you guys are safe well and happy. 🙏🏻♥️ .. my thoughts and certainly my prayers are with all who are suffering from this storm 🙏🏻♥️
I can't imagine being on the road in an RV during a Hurricane/Tropical Storm. We were in it's path indirectly. It was a rain event and a wind event. Most people lost power for at least and hour. Glad you were able to avoid most of the terror associated with the storm. Having small children is always a concern maybe not so much as a safety issue but how they handle the stress situations emotionally. As adults we may not show the tempest that we feel inside. But living in NC as I do we know the potential for this time of year. You just have to plan. I just made sure that all my outside stuff was done Thursday and just hunkered down inside for Friday.
Relieved that it all worked out. The two of you were very wise to have made the decision that you made into and in the end, you came out OK. Safe travels and thank you again for sharing all that you share with all of us.
It was a great idea to leave when you did. Glad you went to Walmart and camped there.Glad you were able to go back to the campground fatter the storm. Glad you are home safe and sound. See you all soon!
Although I’m not in Florida, my sister is, in St Augustine. Florida has my heart, and I feel so at home there. I’m so devastated myself at all the destruction of some places. It breaks my heart. I’m praying for all to get the help they need, and we will all pull together and rebuild the beautiful state of Florida. May God Bless you and the people of Florida and other states that have also been affected. 😢❤🙏😇⚜️⚜️⚜️
This is one reason for many that I like the idea of full-time RVing. I am from Northern California. I have watched too many close to me lose everything from the forest fires. So, I left Cali and moved to the South to realize it doesn't matter where you live there are going to be seasons where scary things happen. In an RV I can be in California in the Wintertime when it is cool and there are no fires. Then I can go north and east in the summer where it is cooler and less likely to have major fires. I can time my travels, but even if I get into a place and I see a hurricane forming on the coast of Africa, I can bugger out to safer grounds in advance. Oh, I am autistic, so I study any kind of science. It just fascinates me! Since moving to the South Hurricanes fascinate me. I have taught myself to read the weather maps and watch for the storms forming and growing in both the Caribbean and off the coast of Africa.
Thank you for your heart felt comforting words. My Dad who if 87 lives on Pine Island and hasn't been able to get home due to the road way and 3 of the bridges going out to the island being damaged. I just pray that between my brother and nephew they will find a way to get him to the house so he can stop worrying. He is wheelchair bound to its going to take some figuring out to get him home and back to my brothers house. Praying y'all stay safe and dry.
I gotta admire Mr Nathans cool and calm demeanor. I'd be runnin' stuff over and lightin' stuff on fire. (plz don't mention any off camera antics, i wanna save this moment:)
I can’t believe you all are heading to SC with the wind coming up the east coast! The effects are being felt as far north as the Jersey Shorelines. Yikes! The Holland Tunnel in NY goes underwater along with the Lincoln Tunnel and the Queens Midtown. It’s amazing to me (having been away from the east coast for quite some time and not from NY) that there are whole buildings used to house the ventilation system for them. The Brooklyn Battery Tunnel holds the record for being the longest continuous underwater vehicular tunnel and was built in 1950. Amazing testament to man’s ingenuity and have always been kinda scary for me but it wasn’t until about a year ago I realized I had claustrophobic tendencies. So there’s a history lesson for you. Kind of. Stay safe!! God bless and keep you in His care. Marissa you can have my share of Chik Fil-A.
Nathan, I felt your pain when you drove the Bay Bridge and Tunnel. It is very stressful. Glad you all are safe. I expect Hensley has a new pair of pink boots on order (that fit). JJ was stressed. It's contagious from parents to the kids. We got caught in a huge thunder and lighting storm when our daughter was about 3. We were in a campground in Yellowstone NP. We kept reassuring her that were knew we were safe and we should enjoy the storm (several times). Prayers to all impacted.
So glad you all made it safely! I live in North Carolina and we always prep for hurricanes although we live two hours from the ocean. My in-laws were flooded out during Hurricane Fran and they were an hour west- away from the ocean- from Greenville. It may have been the same river that you were parked near. They had to live in a FEMA trailer for 10 months.
I am so happy you guys are safe. My sister and her husband’s campground in Port Charlotte (Harbor Lakes) looked like a bomb went off. They were unable to get their camper out as they were home in Maryland. She got photos today of their camper and the fact it is still standing is a miracle. So many lost so much, we are just grateful they were not down there yet. Love you guys and you all made the right call. Safe travels.
@@LessJunkMoreJourney we returned from Port Charlotte after spending 8 days of clean up. Her camper was totaled but we were able to pack most of it out. Because we could not completely open her slides (fear of them falling out it the whole camper tipping over) some things were left behind. But, as tough as it was, her camper fared even better than many. We saw fifth wheels and class A’s on their roofs with windows all blown out. I just can’t even imagine. And that was just at Harbor Lakes. Thousands and thousands of Families have had their lives turned upside down. You guys witnessed this kind of disaster when the tornadoes ripped through Cookeville and Middle TN. I pray everyday for all those affected by these disasters ❤️❤️
Whoa I was shocked when you said that the Airstream was hard to control in wind. I was in a tropical storm with 60mph gusts going home in 2013 to Fort Myers from St. Augustine FL towing my recently purchased Airstream with a Curt hitch (no sway control) and it was straight on through it all- straight blows, side blows, etc. There was a box trailer en route that was blowing all over the road. Even semi truck trailers were running to the side with their rears in the left lane. It was bad. The wind just rolled over top the Airstream and I was not blown around towing with a half ton too. I had major headwinds at times that would drop my speed 20mph. After experiencing that, I said I would never want a box trailer.
My Husband’s entire family live on Pine Island. All of the bridges are gone so there is no way off or on the island except by boat. A friend picked up my Mother and sister-in-law in his boat and got them off the island then we drove down from Charleston SC to get them. I am so grateful for all of the people that brought food, water and gas to help. Thank the Lord that everyone is ok physically. Thank you for your message of support. God is good!
I hate hearing what you've been through. I am so sorry. ❤️
I just seen a video. They have temporary bridge to Pine Island. For residents and worker’s. God Bless you! ❤
I've stayed at the RV resort on Pine Island (north of St James City). I'm guessing it's in shambles now. Glad everyone is safe.

I'm glad you are OK. Storms are hard on kids but cuddling with Mom and the TV is a wonderful distraction. Everyone affected by hurricane Ian is in my prayers. Take care of yourselves
THIS STORM HAS BEEN STUCK OVER DELAWARE FOR A WEEK NOW AND IT'S KILLING ME, I FELT IT COMING & WHILE IT'S BEEN HERES TOO, I'M REALLY OVER IT NOW !!

Glad you all are safe from the storm. Excellent call on leaving the campground when you did. I drove that same route 2 weeks ago in our class C and that tunnel is tight! We would not have made that tunnel in our 38’ Class A. If you don’t already subscribe to Ryan Hall Y’all you should check him out. He has excellent coverage of the weather during all storms.

Totally agree. Constantly monitoring the weather and leaving before the flooding starts is paramount
YES!!! THE HOUSES ARE ON STILTS!! That tells you EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW!!
Glad you guys evacuated & got off the island safely. Many people wait until it's too late & than they whine when Mother Nature rages on. Hurricanes & tropical are nothing to be messing around with in a RV. Neither are tornadoes or snowstorms. Be safe folks.

I live in Virginia and love the Chesapeake Bay bridge tunnel! It’s awesome!❤❤❤❤
I love the bay bridge and tunnel. It's so cool!!
Love that bridge. Makes my cummins turbo really scream coming out of it. 👍

Glad to know y'all are safe & sound... pre-planning as you did keeps these adventures on the good side of memories!
keep making smart decisions. ya'll are awesome
Omg! We have stayed at Twin Lakes and it is seriously in a flood plane! Glad y’all left. And that pouty lip - so sweet and sad!

We go through this tunnel all the time. We live at the beach in Delaware. Doesn't bother us only when they close it for high winds..
This was so interesting and I’m thankful you are ok. My prayers go out to all those who suffered loss of any kind due to the hurricane. I truly love you all ❤️
When you go through Indiana, you'll see bill boards call Hensley.
At 6:26, when JJ is climbing out of the truck, I spot an Innova Leopard!
Yes you should watch the last video on Mr and mis adventure, this is so sad.
So glad you all are ok.
We live just north of the CBBT. Wind restrictions are real, especially when you are towing.
So glad ya'll got to a good place. Enjoyed this video. Will be watching your travels!!!

Great video to share RV life in a storm!
Glad you enjoyed it
Can you please do more of you day in the life videos? You live an interesting life! I would def watch!
You guys are such good parents and are giving your kids an absolute great life. So glad you guys are able to keep safe in this storm ❤️❤️🙏🙏

So sorry to hear this. Glad she is safe.
Prayers for her 🙏
That’s cute and funny telling Hensley she was named after a hitch. Lol! 😂😂
That tunnel made me nervous everyday traveling to and from work when I was in the Navy!
Great video guys. Thanks for sharing. So glad you are safe.

Glad you were able to avoid most of the terror associated with the storm. Having small children is always a concern maybe not so much as a safety issue but how they handle the stress situations emotionally. As adults we may not show the tempest that we feel inside. But living in NC as I do we know the potential for this time of year. You just have to plan. I just made sure that all my outside stuff was done Thursday and just hunkered down inside for Friday.
Relieved that it all worked out. The two of you were very wise to have made the decision that you made into and in the end, you came out OK. Safe travels and thank you again for sharing all that you share with all of us.
Thank you.
Such a shame .. the Outer Banks is one of my favorite places. Glad y’all are safe ❤
We were really looking forward to it. Next time.
It was a great idea to leave when you did. Glad you went to Walmart and camped there.Glad you were able to go back to the campground fatter the storm. Glad you are home safe and sound. See you all soon!
In SC here. Sorry you had to deal with this.
Although I’m not in Florida, my sister is, in St Augustine. Florida has my heart, and I feel so at home there. I’m so devastated myself at all the destruction of some places. It breaks my heart. I’m praying for all to get the help they need, and we will all pull together and rebuild the beautiful state of Florida. May God Bless you and the people of Florida and other states that have also been affected. 😢❤🙏😇⚜️⚜️⚜️
This is one reason for many that I like the idea of full-time RVing. I am from Northern California. I have watched too many close to me lose everything from the forest fires. So, I left Cali and moved to the South to realize it doesn't matter where you live there are going to be seasons where scary things happen. In an RV I can be in California in the Wintertime when it is cool and there are no fires. Then I can go north and east in the summer where it is cooler and less likely to have major fires. I can time my travels, but even if I get into a place and I see a hurricane forming on the coast of Africa, I can bugger out to safer grounds in advance. Oh, I am autistic, so I study any kind of science. It just fascinates me! Since moving to the South Hurricanes fascinate me. I have taught myself to read the weather maps and watch for the storms forming and growing in both the Caribbean and off the coast of Africa.
Every place has it’s STOBOR!
Glad y'all are safe too. But you really need to consider coming to Texas. We always have nice weather. No rain, no wind, and it's been in the 80's.
I love how positive and beautiful you are .
Thank you for your heart felt comforting words. My Dad who if 87 lives on Pine Island and hasn't been able to get home due to the road way and 3 of the bridges going out to the island being damaged. I just pray that between my brother and nephew they will find a way to get him to the house so he can stop worrying. He is wheelchair bound to its going to take some figuring out to get him home and back to my brothers house. Praying y'all stay safe and dry.
Prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏
So glad you guys are okay! I stayed an extra couple of days in Gatlinburg to avoid any storm issues
I gotta admire Mr Nathans cool and calm demeanor. I'd be runnin' stuff over and lightin' stuff
on fire. (plz don't mention any off camera antics, i wanna save this moment:)
I can’t believe you all are heading to SC with the wind coming up the east coast! The effects are being felt as far north as the Jersey Shorelines. Yikes! The Holland Tunnel in NY goes underwater along with the Lincoln Tunnel and the Queens Midtown. It’s amazing to me (having been away from the east coast for quite some time and not from NY) that there are whole buildings used to house the ventilation system for them. The Brooklyn Battery Tunnel holds the record for being the longest continuous underwater vehicular tunnel and was built in 1950. Amazing testament to man’s ingenuity and have always been kinda scary for me but it wasn’t until about a year ago I realized I had claustrophobic tendencies. So there’s a history lesson for you. Kind of. Stay safe!! God bless and keep you in His care. Marissa you can have my share of Chik Fil-A.
Nathan, I felt your pain when you drove the Bay Bridge and Tunnel. It is very stressful. Glad you all are safe. I expect Hensley has a new pair of pink boots on order (that fit). JJ was stressed. It's contagious from parents to the kids. We got caught in a huge thunder and lighting storm when our daughter was about 3. We were in a campground in Yellowstone NP. We kept reassuring her that were knew we were safe and we should enjoy the storm (several times). Prayers to all impacted.
So glad you all made it safely! I live in North Carolina and we always prep for hurricanes although we live two hours from the ocean. My in-laws were flooded out during Hurricane Fran and they were an hour west- away from the ocean- from Greenville. It may have been the same river that you were parked near. They had to live in a FEMA trailer for 10 months.
Glad all of you are safe including your travel friends.
Yes, thank you
Glad you guys are safe!! Thank you for sharing with all of us!!
I am so happy you guys are safe. My sister and her husband’s campground in Port Charlotte (Harbor Lakes) looked like a bomb went off. They were unable to get their camper out as they were home in Maryland. She got photos today of their camper and the fact it is still standing is a miracle. So many lost so much, we are just grateful they were not down there yet. Love you guys and you all made the right call. Safe travels.
❤️❤️❤️
@@LessJunkMoreJourney we returned from Port Charlotte after spending 8 days of clean up. Her camper was totaled but we were able to pack most of it out. Because we could not completely open her slides (fear of them falling out it the whole camper tipping over) some things were left behind. But, as tough as it was, her camper fared even better than many. We saw fifth wheels and class A’s on their roofs with windows all blown out. I just can’t even imagine. And that was just at Harbor Lakes. Thousands and thousands of Families have had their lives turned upside down. You guys witnessed this kind of disaster when the tornadoes ripped through Cookeville and Middle TN. I pray everyday for all those affected by these disasters ❤️❤️
Whoa I was shocked when you said that the Airstream was hard to control in wind. I was in a tropical storm with 60mph gusts going home in 2013 to Fort Myers from St. Augustine FL towing my recently purchased Airstream with a Curt hitch (no sway control) and it was straight on through it all- straight blows, side blows, etc. There was a box trailer en route that was blowing all over the road. Even semi truck trailers were running to the side with their rears in the left lane. It was bad. The wind just rolled over top the Airstream and I was not blown around towing with a half ton too. I had major headwinds at times that would drop my speed 20mph. After experiencing that, I said I would never want a box trailer.
Better to be safe than sorry. So glad your are safe.
