If there is one thing that the Hurricanes have taught us, it is

[maine_raptor]

that the government's plans during the Cold War for evacuating the cities in the event of a nuclear war were way over optimistic. Many of us knew this was the case back then, now we're being proved right.

2. Correction...the government's plans for itself during

a nuclear exchange are wonderful. Greenbrier hotel, WH command bunkers, Air Force 1, etc.

The rest of us are fucked.

3. Houston traffic is a major mess

too many people all leaving at the same time going the same place. It is not going too well. Took a guy 13 hours to move what he normally could of done in 30 minutes, now that is just scary...

5. You can't evacuate a city, without several days of warning.

In a nuclear attack, you've got maybe 30 minutes.

6. And another lesson being taught

With fights breaking out over gas in Houston, we are learning just how thin is the veneer of our civilization.
