Waiting for Rita in Dallas...
Lots of Houstonians are making their way to Dallas, and many other points north, some spending up to 24 hours in bumper to bumper traffic on I-45 all the way to Dallas. Gas stations along the way have run out of gas and God only knows how those folks improvised "potty" stops.
Some gas stations have already run out of gas here in Dallas, although the prices have not yet sky-rocketed. I gased up this morning at Sam's in Garland, TX for $2.67/gal and there were no gas lines. This evening, my daughter had to go to several stations just to find a place that still had gas, but the prices were still hovering around the $2.70/gal range.
Hotels/motels booked up pretty fast yesterday and today, but a "motel hotline" has been made available for anyone looking for a room. Here it is: call 214-819-6310 for information regarding the availability of rooms.
Yesterday, it looked as though we were going to be hit hard but now it looks like East Texas may be getting what we were supposed to get. Time will tell.
