I voted "other". Here is my explanation that you asked for.
For first, my wife is a quadriplegic who rides a power chair. Bugging out would have to be by road, especially during a wet spell. We're well-prepared to stay and survive, even thrive, where we are, providing we get past the reason for the bugout. Family land is <20 minute drive by car, <1 hr by tractor, and <3 hr by foot from our living room....HOWEVER, while providing a place to grow food, it gives NOTHING else in the way of sustainability such as defensibility or fuel (one single tree on the whole place!) or even palatable drinking water. I know, we need another option. Current news cycles have gotten the rest of the family on board with finding such an alternate further from the city. I hope it's in time that it happens, given the aforementioned current news cycle's content....or lack thereof.
Now, for a test passed. We just rode Harvey out about 10 miles from initial landfall north of Corpus. It got exciting overnight but come morning, we were still here, had a roof to look up at, and went about the role of protector of the block, seeing as how it turns out we were the only ones who stayed. Rained and blew all day the next day too, finally got down under trop force winds and the rain finally subsided about dark the day after landfall, so I drug out the generator and ran a couple hours for the fridges' sakes. (We had lost power at 5 pm on Friday afternoon, 24-26 hrs before first run of genny.) Drove out to the farm, and caught a cell signal, texted neighbor and that resulted in breaking into his house at his request, and running a wire over to plug in his fridge and deep freeze. (That little gesture has netted us quite a measure of gratitude from them, as it saved their full freezer. They DO remember and they're the kind of folks who will return that favor with interest.)
We needed nothing, but expressed gratitude and thanks to those who came through the neighborhood over the next few days/weeks passing out MRE's, water bottles, and the like. (Gray man theory.) It also gave us cover to turn around and pass out more than we took to others in the neighborhood who needed more acutely than we did.
The only thing we were short on, and needed to go in search of, was gasoline for the generator, and that was by design and not strictly necessary, as I was prepared to can everything we didn't manage to eat or feed out before it went bad. It did give me another cover to be a sheep, and go on forays for gasoline every other day for the 11 days we were without power.
All that said, had something blown at one of the plants/refineries encircling us, we'd have had to bug out, and further than the farm. I'm uneasy about having my eggs all in one basket. Being prepared and pre-positioned at a distant location isn't as important as the driving desire that I at least want a place to LAY an egg if I need to, to butcher the old saying
Brings me to a question I've wanted to ask here for a few days but can't find the proper sub-forum to stick it in: Does anybody know of a discreet and reputable real estate type somewhere in the upper Nueces River watershed (preferable) or elsewhere inland enough and away enough from refinery row on the Gulf coast? Thinking Texas Hill Country is the most likely "good" spot for us since it's sort of close, sparsely populated, and reachable without going through any real population centers. (Also, if anyone has a suggestion of a different "room" for me to pose this question, let me know and I'll do it.)
