I'm writing this from my uncle's at the moment and just arrived here last night (left houston at 5:00 wednesday) Traffic is absolutely brutal. I think Katrina is partially to blame for this, everyone's scared less of hurricanes now and so we have 1,500,000+ people trying to evacuate. We drove for 28 hours straight in what normally takes no more than an hour and a half to get here. Looks like its going to be all for nothing too as houston looks to be spared with only tropical storm level winds.
