Must be going on the side of the road...?
And wouldn't the nozzle have to be refitted?

What a mess.
Hour after hour.
Stuck on the highway.
In the heat.
With a hurricane bearing down on you.

On FoxNews this morning, they stated that the Guard did exactly that. They put different nozzles on the 5K tankers.

VW TDI 750 miles per tank full at 60 mph. Heaven knows how many hours at idle.

Been there, done that. Hurricane Hugo from Charleston, SC.

Staying put may turn out to be a wiser move IF you live in a half way normal city that isn't already below sea level.

Example:
VERY heavy rains forecast at this time for Texas - Rita expected to stall.

If that happens, hope these grid locked people aren't sitting in low areas.

Don't mean to be second guessing. No matter what choice people make it will be VERY inconvenient - no place to stay, no power whether you go or stay etc.
