My Hurricane Rita evacuation
I know this is about 6 months late, but here are some images from when my wife and I decided that we needed to evacuate from Houston to Austin when Hurricane Rita blew through. Turns out there wasn’t even any wind damage to our house. Heck, the rose bushes still had all their leaves.
Being the camera nerd that I am my camera gear was on the list of things that we had to take with us. So when I got bored sitting on IH-10 I pulled out my camera. It’s not nearly as dangerous as it sounds – the fastest we got going was about 5 miles per hour.
This is the view out of my windshield that I enjoyed for about 12 hours.
Some people decided those white lines don’t apply to them. About Bastrop I saw a car get pulled over for driving in the shoulder.
