Interesting,,,,,rather than sit in bumper to bumper traffic to get to safety, I chose to risk my life and the lives of my family by staying behind to ride out a MAJOR HURRICANE, interesting thought process.

Oh, that's for sure. Of course, as night began to fall, before it hit, I saw the 3 lanes or so bumper to bumper and thought that those who waited too long were like sitting ducks on the I-10, like a scene out of that asteroid movie, Apocalypse.

I took the back roads out and got out of Ms fast. For some reason nobody takes the back roads. I jumped on 15 near the Keesler exit, and then 29 took me to 59 to Laurel, and it was more smooth sailing from there. This was all Sunday, the back roads were completely clear.
