Yes, some have turned off their engines now but that's when the heat-related issues start. You have to remember that many sat on the freeway all night and didn't expect to be there so long.
Yeah, I guess you are right. I wasn't taking into account how long they've been there, etc.
It will be interesting to see how well the fuel truck idea works.
When is Rita expected to make landfall? Do these people have a chance of getting out ahead of it with traffic not moving?
Not to be indelicate--but what are all those people doing about....mmmmmm....potty breaks? Do they have porta-potties up and down the freeways? Just curious.
