My husband and I were wondering the same thing. I wish for once they'd show where the people at the head of these lines of traffic are! Where is it that these folks are finally able to go the speed limit? It's killing me sitting here worrying about all these people stuck in traffic. I cannot fathom their frustration at having been there now for OVER 24 hours!!

We went home for Christmas one year from NC to MO. It usually took us 11 hours. Everyone left at the same time trying to get ahead of an ice storm headed our way. We didn't make it! Took us 22 hours to get home with a 2 month old baby in the car. There's something I'm not likely to repeat!

I hope all these people are keeping their spirits up! It's hard to remain positive and kind to each other under such stressful conditions. May God be with them!!!

My husband just spent 26 hours bringing his 94 year old aunt to Dallas from Galveston - it was a long, exhausting trip but when they finally arrived they both couldn't say enough about the great treatment they got from folks in towns all along the way and how wonderful all their fellow travelers were!

My husband slept for a bout 15 hours and now is sharing some of his stories but he keeps getting a lump in throat and tearing up with pride, and has to stop for a bit.

If it was me and my family I would evacuated Tuesday. If you have a hard time communting on a average work day what do you expect during an evacuation? It's a large urban setting. If people didn't yield to warnings to get out by Tuesday then they are responsible for themselves. Can't blame public officals for an individuals poor judgement.

I believe in free will but the left will bounce on this one too. They are dead against the Patriot Act interfering with their lives but want immediate help from the government when they're waist deep in crap.

I think people need to learn self determination here.
