[AT] Drove into storm in W VA ,VA

[ivancou at windstream.net]

We are in route to jacksonville fl for a few days . We left PA yesterday without checking mail or tv , and drove into this in west virginia .Couldnt get to our campground in the Blue Rige mtn so pushed on . Made it as far as Troutville VA were we were lucy enough to get a room . Having troubles with the motorhome ,think its just vapor locking . Already ran out of gas twice, had to use gas for the generator to limp to exit . Gas stations closed all over ,either no poweror no gas . 
  About another 75 miles and we should be out of the storm area from what we've heard . Going to try to push on ,have reservations in GA . Hope to hole up there for two days ,get the RV checked out before going farther . As bad as damage is going north I dont think it wise to turn around .  Ivan
