Noble sentiment, but by the time it was published I-10 east and west were parking lots.If you live in the targeted areas of Louisiana, please get out now if you're under evac orders.

Please. You don't need me to remind you what a Cat 4 does.

After Hurricane Rita caused a traffic jam from Houston to Dallas (at least as great a distance as from the east to west borders of Louisiana) Texas established "evacuation routes" where counter-flow measures can open all lanes to evacuating traffic.Someone asked me about traffic leaving New Orleans….

I'm saddened to see Louisiana, which has much more exposure to hurricanes than Texas does, has not learned from our lesson. Here's hoping they are all somewhere else by the time the hurricane strikes (they would not have been had Rita hit Houston as expected).
