Hello Greg,
We are west of San Antonio by some 75 miles or so, and the
traffic along I 10 is still going strong. Most of the filling
stations in Comfort are out of fuel, and Boerne (just down the road)
had long lines early this morning. We went to the grocery for store
for usual things, and it was packed, at 8:30 this morning, and they
were almost out of water!!!!! It seems that yesterday they did run
out of eggs; water; milk; bread etc. A notice on the news earlier
said they had opened both sides of I 10 for westbound traffic.
I just hope everyone stays safe, this time .............
