If i ever had to bug out back there, I would need to fill up 2x and that is against traditional advice, right? Would it be better to watch the east coast for the signs and stay there if trouble is likely?ahamonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10534480502651256381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000978246179420267.post-50129302424048575282010-09-06T19:35:36.203-05:002010-09-06T19:35:36.203-05:00Mayberry, specifically re Corpus, the only 4 lane ...Mayberry, specifically re Corpus, the only 4 lane w/o big bridge would be 44 west to Alice, then north on 281. LONG way to go around to get out. FM 624 is the only other option, to 16 and north. FM70 goes north and south, and has been closed at Banquete Creek for going on two years now. No clue what they're doing there, building a bridge but TWO YEARS? Get real!<br /><br />Boils down to one road out of town without a bridge, and it's gonna be tough to get that many cars down it, then right through the gut of Alice all the way to the other side of Alice to 281.<br /><br />Polish your crystal ball and get out early :DOff Grid Survivalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419734317565221784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000978246179420267.post-15621367750462007912010-03-08T19:43:56.085-06:002010-03-08T19:43:56.085-06:00Thanks everyone for the great comments. Those bug...Thanks everyone for the great comments. Those bug out situations can happen pretty fast, especially if you are living on the coast and are subject to hurricanes or prone to flash flooding. Since hurricane season is just around the corner - everybody have your plan ready (and a back up plan), your BOBs, and your gas tanks full just in case you have to get out fast. <br />As organized as the cities say that evacuations will be - THEY NEVER ARE. Evacuations are filled with mostly high stress and agitated drivers. These type of drivers are more prone to cause accidents, and with a mass exodus of hundreds of thousands of people, it is going to be a miserable experience if you are caught in it. So be prepared and be ready!<br /><br />Thanks so much,<br /><br />TessTess Phttp://www.readynutrition.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8000978246179420267.post-29093412024258012902010-03-08T19:08:06.187-06:002010-03-08T19:08:06.187-06:00Awesome advice!

If you can't get to your bug-out location on one tank of gas...you may be in trouble if their is none along the way. Fuel supplies will dwindle quickly during an evacuation.<br /><br />Tess did a good job of putting this together for TPN.

For example, Corpus Christi has only three ways out, two of which are dependent on bridges over water. Given this fact, it is essential that Corpus residents be especially vigilant. Should the Harbor Bridge on Highway 181, or the Nueces River Bridge on Interstate 37 become impassible, heading west on highway 44 , FM 70, or FM 624 will be the only options. These roads are not designed for high traffic loads, and will quickly come to a stand still when 300,000 people are trying to evacuate. There are many other cities and towns with even less options, so pay attention to what's going on, and be prepared to act swiftly.Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.com
