Downloaded weather apps to my electronics in prep for vacation
We head down to FL mid-July and I'm really worried about the weather, especially since we'll be in a camper. 
This is one year I'd rather be staying close to home, but it's my FIL 80th birthday. They moved down to FL 3 yrs ago and now live south of Sarasota, right on the Gulf.
I mean, what do you do in a freakin' fifth wheel? I've downloaded the apps (Accuweather, NOAA Radar, Wunderground, and Hurricane Tracker). I figured to be safe we'd prepare a small 'bug-out' bag for each person and keep them in the truck (a change of clothes, water, a few energy bars, meds, etc.) and at each campground ask them about their local emergency shelter, plans, etc. That way if an emergency came up, we wouldn't even have to think about what we needed to grab before we left. We had 2 minorly scary weather bouts in Hatteras over the years, so we definitely respect the weather, but I can't think of anything else to do in order to be prepared.
BTW, hubby thinks I'm nuts about the bug-out bags, he thinks we could just hitch up and be on the road in a heartbeat. I'm of the opinion that the fifth wheel is insured. In an emergency, just leave it, and get wherever we need to be either on foot or in our pick-up. When we are actually down at my inlaws, their house is a good shelter (reinforced concrete walls, roof good to 150mph winds), but the extended family may end up doing each other in if we got stuck together like that 
Have you ever run into any weather situations when you've been camping/rv'ing, etc., and what did you end up doing?
= new reply since forum marked as read
While you can run into some surprising and strong thunder showers on the gulf coast, any real major event (hurricane) will give you days of notice.
Have a great time and don't worry!!
I was at the airshow in Oshkosh, WI camped under the wing of my plane when a big storm hit in the middle of the night. My plane was tied down pretty well, but I've seen what storms can do to planes and it ain't pretty. Also there are literally tens of thousands of other planes of all shapes and sizes on the airport, also tied down. At first you worry about your tent blowing away, but then you realize that's the least of your concerns compared to being squashed like a bug by any one of several nearby 2,000-3,000 lb aircraft all full of aviation fuel (my plane alone holds 80 gals). Fortunately my tent was also staked down well, but many weren't so lucky. Here's one of my neighbors who had his tent collapse. Fortunately the worst damage was to the blue rooms.
