Hurricane Rita evacuation

Hurricane Rita evacuation Sept.2005 from Houston to Dallas took us more than ten hours with the roads packed with cars, even few people died on the road trying to get somewhere...I was driving so could not do better with the video

what a bunch of marroons. If not for the Katrina debacle almost nobody would have left. I sat on my porch with a case of beer and watched all this on tv. Lost power for a grand total of 45 minutes.

My uncle lives in Kema. During Rita it took him 23 hrs to drive from the coast to Waxahachie south of Dallas which is a 2 1/2 drive at most.

I still can't understand why so many people evacuated that didn't live in Galveston or any of the other coastal cities. If you have a sturdy home and don't live in a flood zone, stay put.

I remember this storm, I lived in orange and when we evacuated it took us 21 hours in traffic to get 1 hour away from our house.

If it only took you 10 hours you must have left early.
