If you're gonna evacuate, do it early. Spent 19 hours on the road between Houston and Louisiana during Rita.

Apocalyptic scenes of people running out of gas, cops inexplicably shutting down exit routes and forcing everyone onto 2 highways, busses with old people from nursing homes getting heat exhaustion stranded on the side of the road, fights over gas. I'll never forget that shite seeing how fragile and inept our emergency infrastructure actually is.

Or do it really late. I left at 8AM the morning Laura hit and it was practically just me on the road until I hit BR. My parents left a few hours later than me and got caught in some of the early storms that came through and said it was pretty terrifying. I timed it perfectly.
