I took the back roads out and got out of Ms fast. For some reason nobody takes the back roads. I jumped on 15 near the Keesler exit, and then 29 took me to 59 to Laurel, and it was more smooth sailing from there. This was all Sunday, the back roads were completely clear.

I've noticed that people tend to ignore the back roads also. The interstate near us is being repaired (again) and we just hop on those back roads and watch them all as they poke along. Plus you can end up with some pretty nice scenery.

Well that's good that you did and got out fast. The roads, even back ones, should have had more traffic by Sunday, but folks just weren't taking it as seriously. I remember seeing the radar last week and thinking that Katrina took up the whole gulf! Well most of it. As an aside, I know that the news stories are all over NOLA and the lake it's becoming, but I'm surprised that there is so little on the folks in MS. Most of what I've gotten on how you all have fared in Mississippi is from Freerepublic. It's staggering to imagine the loss of life.
