Today, I bought 2 x 5-gallon gas cans. Hurricane evacuations here in Texas have demonstrated how critical it is to have extra gas. Gas stations ran out. People with full tanks of gas had to abandon their vehicles after going 20 miles in crawl-and-go traffic due to running out of gas. The state brought in fuel trucks on the interstate so people could gas up and keep going.
The infrastructure can't support most people in a large city evacuating. Period.
Far-fetched? Not when you've seen it yourself, and have friends who actually did it.
