From time to time those of a survivalist mindset confront the paranoic
vision of calamity-driven urbanites descending upon their well-stocked
homes, demanding food and shelter. As I have long asserted, the odds are
good that massive urban flights are surely destined to limited miles. This

Houston Residents Struggle to Get Inland
Sep 22 3:04 PM US/Eastern

By ALICIA A. CALDWELL

GALVESTON, Texas

Hundreds of thousands of people across the Houston metropolitan area
struggled to make their way inland in a vast, bumper-to-bumper exodus
Thursday as Hurricane Rita closed in on the nation's fourth-largest city
with winds howling at 150 mph.

Drivers ran out of gas in 14-hour traffic jams or looked in vain for a
place to stay as hotels hundreds of miles in from the coast filled up.
Others got tired of waiting in traffic and turned around and went home.

Imagine if things were bad enough that instead of sitting in their cars waiting for the traffic to clear up they walked away, walked on... just looking to stay alive.
Would it make a difference? I don't know...
