They say the population of the Dallas/Fort Worth area will increase by about 1 million people by Sunday.
I-45 has been a parking lot for over 24 hours.
People are waiting in lines at gas stations and grocery stores for at least 30 minutes, closer to at least an hour.
Fuel stations are running out of gas.
Grocery store shelves are bare of milk, bread, water and more. My mother said that daddy exclaimed "Where's all the bananas!?" at Wal-Mart last night.
Hotel/Motels are booked solid. Reports are that the nearest vacancies are in Oklahoma.
I've yet to see any of this first hand, but I gather I will before the weekend is over.
Miss Rita isn't going to hurt us one bit. The masses of people will. And the panic of Dallas/Fort Worth residents. It's like the freaking apocalypse down here. Meanwhile, we'll have a nice breezy thunderstorm over the next 2-3 days.
It's insanity. Just as outrageous and irrational as people get when we get a freeze and all the milk and bread disappear from the grocery store shelves. As if we'll be stranded, frozen in our homes for weeks and weeks. *rolls eyes*
This is just silly. Everyone needs to just calm the hell down. And have some sympathy for those who have to come here from the coast. Leave some damn water and bread for them!

Thank you for your post, Sarah. Yours is the voice of reason. The media have been relentless in their attempts to spread fear. Bastards.
