Massive snowstorm happened in Denver a couple of years ago...people trapped in cars all over the area but the worst were the ones stuck on the infamous 20+ miles of desolated Pena road leading to the airpost. Natl. Guard had equipment & went car to car checking on people & bringing water & food. It only lasted a day.
I don't know how they can even get to the people stuck in traffic now or trapped in the Superdome.
One other thing....why don't they open all sides of the highways to outgoing? Plans for evacuations in Texas used to have that posted right on the highways going out of Corpus Christi....something like, "In the event of a hurrican evacuation, all lanes will be northbound"
WE HAVE A CAT 5!!!!!!!!!just in
Being trapped in a car for a day or two is bad, but in a hurricane a car is not adequate protection from the storm winds, flooding, and debris.
