...right after Katrina. They spent 16 hours on a drive that normally takes about 3 hours. The guy had the forethought to buy several extra cans of gasoline days before the evacuation or they would have been stranded along the way. They were turning off on side roads to "hide" while they poured gasoline into their vehicles. People were fighting over available gasoline and one TV crew was robbed of their cans of gasoline at gunpoint. It was definitely crazy.

I don't remember the storm but a bus caught fire with a load of seniors and several died. They said their oxygen bottles were exploding in the fire.

The evacuations are almost as dangerous as the storms.
