Lesson, think for yourself, NEVER let government do your thinking. I got fooled for an hour or two, I have learned my lesson. Thousands maybe hundreds of thousands will be standed on Texas highways as Rita rolls in. Horrible situation, I can not imagine how bad that is going to be.

Thousands of *cars* maybe, but not people. We'll make sure that doesn't happen.

Heck, Houstonians are picking up those who are stranded and taking them with them if they have the room.

I don't disagree with your idea, I just disagree with your assessment of the situation.

Here here.

Now there is a bus fire on 45 up near Dallas and DPS has blocked both sides of 45. Now nobody is able to go north. Geez.

I know the bus fire was really bad and there possibly 20 dead people on the bus but there are also 100's of thousands of people stopped on 45 trying to get away from Rita. Move 50+ parked police cars and fire trucks off of the south bound side and let the folks pass through. They are only making it worse by treating this like an accident that happens on a normal day.
