They were leaving Houston to stage in Austin.
What's the latest on Houston area gridlock? Any improvement?
Reporter Amy Davis has the scoop....
It was a 100 vehicle convoy of the Texas National Guard going from N.O. to Austin to stage at Camp Swift.
..he;s young, single ....
I told him ...hon, there are thousands of folk heading up to your town....
Go get gas!!!! or there won't be any.
He has 1/2 tank....said he would get s ome in the AM on the way to work.
He hasn't been watching TV all day (as I have & watched the huge snakeline of travelers).., so doesn't realize the huge number of folk leaving Houston for his direction.
It's just hard to stress urgency to young folks sometimes.
I also said 'do you have batteries, flashlight'....
..He said he would get that on the way to work too.
Now, this is an educated young man--really quite sharp.... but he doesn't see the problem as I do!
