This of course is not always the rule but generally cats tend to stay in the same general area that they went missing from. On my lost and found site there is even a reunion story about a cat that was traveling with his family on a road trip and he escaped out of the car at a rest stop. The family searched for days but had to head home, a ferry ride away. I kept posting signs for them and finally 6 months later, their cat was found in the exact spot he had jumped out at half a year earlier. They are all back together now.
Freedom's idea to laminate is a good one. You can also cover your posters on both sides with clear packing tape and they will last awhile like this.
I agree that you should definitely go door to door on the street and neighboring streets to ask people to check in their garages, sheds and basements. I know of quite a few cats that went in to investigate or seek shelter from the weather and unsuspecting homeowners closed up the buildings not knowing there was a cat in there. You could put some posters on doors of people that aren't home and write an additional note to request that they look in their outbuildings and basements.
Looking for Misty in the early morning and late evening are good times to search because the traffic is quieter and it's easier for you to hear her and vice versa.
Don't forget to look up in the trees. She might have crawled up and isn't able to get down on her own now, especially if she doesn't have much experience with that.
Prayers going out that you find her soon! Don't give up hope.
