[QUOTE="daytomann, post: 2207782, member: 10301"] My wife had her truck packed with all our necessities before I got home. I figured the storm would do the SOP and move E-NE right towards where we live. We headed south around two hours before the storms made it to okc. It was smooth sailing all the way to Norman. Then, as the storm completely ditched SOP and moved E-SE, that's when the panic occurred. It was surreal. People driving into oncoming traffic, hopping curbs, etc. everyone was just jamming 77. I just headed east out of Norman towards Dirty Bird then south on back roads. It was pretty smooth sailing and we stayed ahead of winds and rain without dodging people and going break neck speeds. Even the having a plan and a head start doesn't always account for the unexpected. Now tornadoes and hurricanes are one thing and until we get a fraidy hole, we're bugging out because you do usually have plenty of warning and smart people get out of the way early. We've never run into what we did last night because we always bug out way early and the storms normally move where they're supposed to lol! So tornadoes and hurricanes are not part of my point. What happened last night just got me to thinking about it. Real SHTF is a situation that happens w/o warning. There's no planning the event and even though you might have a bug out plan, it will be little if any good unless you are willing to risk ALOT!! I'm just sayin... Depending on what the SHTF event is, ...if your plan is to immediately get to your bug out location??? Well, good luck with that. I've always told the family we would hole up and bug in until things settle down. I'm with turkeyrun on this. [/QUOTE]
