Well, for those of y'all still trying to make your way out, I'm finding from people who are travelling and in contact with me that hotels south of I-20, from Texas through Louisana and into Mississippi are hard to come by.
No hotels available here in Slidell. Nothing North in Jackson, Mississippi. There's really nothing until you get maybe into Florida. I'm hearing news about beach cabins and rooms still available in Pensacola, but that just depends on how far away from Southeast Texas you want to get.
I actually went to a hotel over here just to see if they had rooms. They said no, and I asked if that was pretty consistent with the weather sitation right now. The man at the Holiday Inn just looked at me and held up a list of 20 area hotels, all crossed through with red ink.
I just got through calling them all, he said. Nothing.
If there's anyone still thinking of getting out of the area, north may be the way to go that's feesable on a tank of gas.
I have no problem getting gas here in Slidell. The TA Travel Center had no lines, and full tanks. Which is good, because I'm looking to head back to work at The News Sunday.
