Trip Planning

#1 Postby Seele » Thu Jul 07, 2005 12:29 pm

Hey all, been trying to keep posted about this storm on vacation in Wichita Falls, TX. We were planning to leave Saturday to head back to Atlanta via I-20. After looking at the NHC's predicted path, I'm worried that if we leave Satuday, we'll hit MS & AL sometime Saturday night and might be stuck in evacuation traffic. This is realistic threat and would leaving Friday be better?

Thanks all.

I-20 keeps you pretty far inland.

I don't know... not sure it'll be too big of a problem. I doubt traffic will be "that" bad as in bumper-to-bumper since I-20 is over 200 miles inland.

Yeah, if you were taking I-10 i'd wish you much luck. I think you'll be fine.
