That's 30,000 people per hour. Is that even possible?

Barely, but it won't happen. That would require an orderly evacuation with no wrecks or other incidents that would impede it. It also assumes a uniform traffic flow with the same amount of people leaving now as 3 a.m. Monday morning.

I feel like I'm watching a train wreck that's inevitable. This is exactly what we've always feared. It was a virtual certainty to occur within the next 100 years, but I never expected it to happen next week.

Not to mention the logistical nightmare of rounding up the known homebound who have no way of getting by themselves.

N.O. traffic cams showing increased traffic, but still not close to gridlock.

This does not look good at all. 50,000 people an hour? That is assuming they have their own transportation, and the money to buy gas. Last year in Pensacola, my two grandkids did not even have gas money to evacuate. They sheltered in place. Thank God they both made it through the night in good shape.
