The live shots from Fox news show the freeways moving at about 2 mph outbound. At this rate, the folks could get to Baton Rouge about the time the storm gets to Nashville.
It kicks in in one hour. Blanco just said so.
FNC keeps showing I-10; it's flowing at a snails pace. No wonder people don't want to evacuate. Anyone who doesn't load up and leave early isn't going to make it out.
Bizzare. Can someone shed some light onto WHY the traffic is moving so slowly? I can understand the left lane being sluggish due to absorbing incoming traffic, and other lanes being slowed by merging traffic, but it looks to be nearly a standstill. It certainly explains the reservations people have about being caught in their cars.
I've driven that road a couple of times and can't remember how many lanes there are,,, thinking at least 4, maybe 5.
When this is over, LA residents should storm the Captiol and DEMAND a revision of evacuation plans.
