Roads coming south won't be a problem. I remember in 1979 I was in Savannah and had to get to my home in Pensacola, Hurricane Frederic was 200 miles south in the Gulf and headed north. I got on I-10 at Tallahassee and the entire 200 miles to Pensacola I didn't pass one car, I did 80 mph the whole way, didn't even see a cop. Eastbound lanes away from Pensacola/Mobile were bumper to bumper. Once you get here, it would be slow going is you want to go back north. You might stop in Georgia. Check this board to be sure we have power and water, and if everything is OK, continue on. During Hurricane Irma we never lost power or water.
