A woman stands outside her car on Interstate 45 near downtown Houston on Thursday.
Storm evacuees stand on the side of Highway 290 which has become a parking lot as people attempt to flee Hurricane Rita.
Motorists wait in line for fuel at one of the few open gas stations in Pasadena, Texas, Thursday, Sept. 22, 2005. Residents were evacuating the area west of Houston due to a mandatory evacuation prior to Hurricane Rita arriving.
See thats a f-ed up mess for a couple of reasons. First, theyre going to run it out of fuel pretty quickly. Second, even if a fuel truck shows up right now theres no way to drop the load because youve got people parked all over the lot and theyre sure as hell not going to move off the tanks and lose their place in line after sitting there a while.
Those photos you posted tell the real story.
