Wht did everyone hit the Interstate? Why not drive toward Galveston, then drive south along the coast, and then inland?
Lack of familiarity with the back roads? Fear of sticking around the coast?
Excellent thinking, that is what those palnning to evac now are thinking, south then west roads are clear, You are a very wise man.
Today, on several talk radio shows, I heard testimonials from folks who did just that: stayed off the major roads, and easily got either west then north, or simply north on a minor road. These folks on the interstate are really acting like lemmings rather than thinking...
That's what I was wondering, too. Even if I didn't know my way, I'd take back (more open) roads and keep heading inland. Doesn't matter where really.
Have they at least opened all the interstates to be outbound-only at this point? What's the state of the traffic? I'd think that people are running out of gas at this point.
