[ARCADIA]

He is new to the Houston area and doesn't know any backroads.

The back roads usually lock up along with the highways; the infrastructure is just not designed to evacuate an entire city (or a number of them) within 72 hours.

[Help!]

My son got off I-10 at Mason Rd and plans to take 1093 to Eagle Lake then to Seguin. There seem to be gas stations along there that have gas, but lines about 100 cars long. Hope his alternate route works out. He got worried when he heard on the radio they wouldn't be opening up the opposite lanes of I-10.
