I have taken 12 hours to drive from Houston to Dallas many times on the Thanksgiving holiday. This evacuation was remarkable and it will now be spun into a crisis that has to be fixed.

I had to evacuate New Orleans ahead of Katrina and it took 15 hours to get from New Orleans to Austin. During Rita it took friends of mine 20 hours to get from Houston to Austin.

It took us 12 hours to drive from Houston to New Orleans 3 years ago, a normal 6 hour trip. It was road construction combined with regular Fri afternoon traffic.

Agreed, is anyone actually willing to pay for an infrastructure that will allow a 2 million plus city to empty smoothly in, say, 12 hours? The Democrats and some Republicans would commit the funds for the project but would end up spending it on multicultural math courses or some such.

If it needs fixing, the cure is just what the libs don't want - more highways. Or, less centralized cities.

We must have been on the road together. I started on a Wednesday afternoon and had to get off at Huntsville 4 1/2 hours later. That was more than 25 years ago and this looked pretty good to me.
