Modify #8 to include: Periodically tune into commercial radio, especially for weather information. Last year I drove from East Texas and planned to stop just north of Nashville. I listened to XM Radio the entire trip. When I reached a short distance west of Nashville, the interstate was closed which I figured was caused by an accident so I took secondary roads to get to the next exit where I planned to get back on. It was closed also so I tuned into local radio and discovered that the area was flooded. I ended up spending the night in a church parking lot sleeping in the back of the SUV.
