KPRC showing bumper to bumper traffic...lots of cars without gas
Trucks are working their way down the interstate shoulders and medians from the other end, fuelling and getting those people on their way and working their way into Houston. Quite smart.
I saw it with my own eyes not more than a couple of hours ago. I was helping a friend board up some rather large and exposed windows on his house. On my way back home, I decided to drive to where I could take a look at I-45 here in The Woodlands. It's 10 lanes of parking lot not a half mile away. People are camped out on the side of the road, at businesses on the feeders, and anywhere they can find a place.
There is a significant road construction project just a few miles north, plus all those lanes reduce to two each way. The bottleneck is the main problem here.
We're going to have 75-90 mph winds up here. I don't know what those people will be doing.
The good news is that the highways south of the city are empty.
