"That was pointed out to me just before Katrina - that the traffic was so horrible that folks would run out of gas and be stranded trying to evacuate."
Yes, and some turned back and headed home. My brother lives slightly north of Houston and he knew backroads to take and got out in record time.
Sandy looks devastating.

My brother lives slightly north of Houston and he knew backroads to take and got out in record time. A friend of mine lives just South of Houston and tried to evacuate. After about 6 hours on the road they had only made it 20 miles North. They gave up and headed back home to ride it out rather then being stranded on the highway.
