Well the 'evacuation' routes are finally cleared. I'm off I45 north of Hou. The commute home from work on Wed was entertaining to say the least, as the evacuation had already begun. I'd heard over a million people on the freeways. Hard to imagine until you've seen it. And I was one of them - just glad I wasn't in the 911! Can you imagine depressing your clutch up and down for two hours - and going just a few miles. TG for automatic tyranny. Many poor souls spent as long as 24 hours just to get cross town. I gave up after a couple of hours & spent a few days in the Woodlands (half way home) Basically nothing was moving. And no gasoline to be had anywhere near the freeways. A logistical nightmare. I'm sure all the officials learned some valuable lessons from this excercise. Don't get me wrong though ---overall I'm very pleased by their efforts. And it sure beats the New Orleans alternative.

Just having fun in Houston.
