    Well, that is a nightmare, the road (s) is/are clogged and the airport is backed up. That is my worst nightmare here in Charleston.

    We sat in a "parking lot" situation in the late 90s w hurricane Floyd, which ended up not being a problem.

    We voted that governor out in mass, we did. Remembered the situation collectively when he came up for re election.

    I have said repeatedly since then that this place cannot be evacuated. I don't think I would have tried, ever, except that Katrina has scared the hell out of everyone.

    I am sitting here now, wondering why that storm is not in the Atlantic, given the time of year, watching the traffic and it is not pretty, IMO!

    ginger (another lesson to be studied.............and I hope they do, as it is a problem on the coast, only one way to go, usually, and few roads to do it in with a population explosion since any storm hit anywhere.)
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.
