re: Imagine you were stuck in contraflow when the hurricane hit. Then imagine this.

Been through Katrina.
Never a wildfire on that order of magnitude.

I can see how the ptsd from the wildfire might be worse.

No offense to those fleeing Katrine (I was one of them) but if you were stranded on the interstate in your car, that'd be relatively safe...depending on wind direction.


This is a whole new level of nightmare. The fire will consume you and you are in your car and can't go anywhere.

But both hurricanes and fire evacuation are very similar. You know it is coming and you can get out. You pray for the best. The bad thing about this is they underestimated it and then the wind kicked up.
