Okay, I have seen some criticism of TX officials for waiting "too long" to begin it. From over here in North Alabama, it looks to me like they are a doing pretty good job, considering that they had something like 5 million people to get out and that, unlike some people, they weren't certain where the worst of Rita would hit days in advance. Evacuation west on I-10 may have been easier if only they had not ordered Corpus Christi's evacuation too, but when they ordered it they thought Corpus Christi would be hammered.

Has I-45 opened up to Dallas and I-10 to San Antonio yet or are there still long stretches of grid lock?

Good Luck.

I-45 is moving at posted speed limits. Contraflow is no longer in place.

The proof will be in the results.

The issue isn't whether or not people were stuck in traffic for 14 hours. The bottom line is, at the end of the day, did they make it our of harm's way?

Everything else is just static and noise.

45 is clear all the way up. I-10 is clear, 290 is completely clear - AND HAS BEEN SINCE 4AM!
