Many citizens heeded the call of public officials to evacuate coastal and low-lying areas of the Gulf Coast. But that has created a massive traffic jam on many of the interstate highways. The interstate highways were originally designed during the Cold War so that if we faced a nuclear attack that we could evacuate as many people as possible out of metropolitan areas. What would normally take 2hours is taking 20 hours. Traffic has been at a crawl despite officials authorizing flow of all traffic in one direction.
