I’m assuming you’re joking.
Home Depot would be sold out of generators by the time you got there. Even if there was one still on the shelf, you couldn’t pay for it if you didn’t have cash as the credit card machine would be down. You’d also likely be shot or stabbed before you got the cash register. The gas pumps wouldn’t be working so you just wasted however many gallons of gas on nothing. The trip home would take hours with the traffic at a stand still.
Of course I’m kidding. It’s my way of trying to wake up people.
I’m in Houston and a bit before the legendary Hurricane Rita evacuation, I had big maps of the city and county on my kitchen table and was plotting how to get out of the city, while staying off the freeways. My wife says something like: “Why do all this, we’ll just take I-10 to I-45 and be out of here?”. She was clueless as to what happens when you try to evacuate a city of 4 million people with a total of 4 usable freeway lanes. In the end, we bypassed the worst of it and made it to Ft. Worth in 8 hours...others, not so fortunate.
