News says cars on I-10 are running out of gas from sitting in traffic. Just have to abandon them, further clogging the lanes. Can you imagine hitch hiking and putting your family members into different cars then trying to track them down later?
Traffic jams always happen when there is an evacuation. What I can't imagine is someone who had a car and waited until Sunday afternoon to leave NO. Often times in low areas the water rises and the cars are stalled in it. Leave early or stay where you are, is the rule. This storm is so bad staying is not an option.
