My daughter just called from the road. She, her husband, and baby left their home in Houston at 8:00 p.m., last night. Nine hours later, they had logged forty miles on the odometer. She is still on I-10, ultimately headed for Austin.
She reports lots of vehicles dead on the side of the road, presumably out of gas, no gas available at service stations, and some squabbles and fights at the stations that do have fuel. Gonna be a long day for anyone still contemplating getting out.
My daughter left last at 3am this morning to head here for Dallas God I pray they make it here!!!!
Oh, dear. How do you not run out of gas in a situation like that?
My best friend, her husband, baby and dog are heading from the Rice U area to Austin. They left about 3 this am. Still wished they had hopped a plane to Philly to be with us!
Keep us posted when they get safely in. Godspeed to all trying to get out.
