Was it Rita that resulted in complete highway gridlock with Houston area evacuations? People were running out of gas while sitting for 10+ hours in the freeway parking lot.

It was either that or suffer the consequences of what happened with Katrina--at least 986 dead. And the fact then-May Ray Nagin refused to use school buses to evacuate people (remember that infamous picture of all those flooded school buses in New Orleans?).

Too many other ways out of Houston to rely on the interstates. You don’t have to head north initially either. Go east or west a ways before heading north helps
