Drove over I-45 last night and it was packed. More and More people are coming here to Dallas. I have several friends from Houston and I called them to ask if they were stuck in traffic they said they have not moved for 4 hours. I asked why they did not cross over to I-35. One friend and his family were stuck in traffic for hours trying to get to Dallas I told them the alternate route they got to our house in about an hour as opposed to 9-10 hours. My other friend said she stayed in traffic for seven hours. I really don't understand why people aren't using I-35. Some coworkers drive it every day and said there is no traffic.
The thing that drives me crazy is the sense of paranoia that takes place here. We are suppose to get 20-30 mph winds and rain; and people this moring are in lines around the block to fill up with gas. At the grocery store I saw people buying bulk of water and such supplies. Being prepared for thunder storms in Dallas and freaking out are two different things. There is just a touch of hysteria that goes on here when bad weather occurs.
I hope the people of the coastal areas stay safe and the damage is minimal.
