While Houston gets generally high marks for its preparedness in the face of Hurricane Rita, nearly everyone agrees that the traffic snarls that marked the evacuation needed to be addressed. Accordingly, a new, more systematic evacuation plan has been devised and is effective for the remainder of the 2005 hurricane season and henceforward.
Evacuation Protocol For the City of Houston and Houston ETJ:
Hispanics use I-10 West to San Antonio
Cajuns use I-10 East to Lafayette
Rednecks use 59 North to East Texas
Yankees use 45 South to Galveston
Longhorns use 290 West to Austin
Aggies use 610 Loop.
