there isn't a plan to convert the southbound lanes north in some areas.

You don't want to convert southbound lanes until all materials and supplies are in place. Getting fuel tankers down to the south is critical now.

Yes. There still is some need for a southbound route for supplies, but not all the lanes of an interstate highway.


If we didn't have climate change denying Republicans who don't want to spend money on infrastructure, there would be a plan
to get people out of south Florida more efficiently.

And it is going pretty well. No possible way to evacuate several million people and have the drive be pleasant. It would be a huge waste of resources to widen our interstates to 20 lanes for one use ever 10 years.

We have seen this before and have seen bad evacuations. The evacuation of Houston before Rita is a poorly planned evacuation.

Those of us in Central Florida with strong home are told not to leave so as to not unnecessarily clog the roads. Unfortunately people panic and leave when they don't need to. A coworker took his family to South Georgia and now they are going to get hit as well.

And so is I-95 up near Savannah and all the way through SC until after I-26. These are problematic even on good days.
