RBH is in El Paso, which is about 800 miles west of Houston. I'm outside of
Austin, and people are even starting to panic here. I just got a 5 gallon
carton of gas for my lawnmower, and I was accused of hoarding. So I asked
him if he wanted to use a rotary blade manual push mower to cut my 2
acres... :)
There are some massive traffic jams leaving Houston to the north and to the
west. They just now opened both sides of Interstate 45 for northbound
traffic. I'm sure they will do the same to I-10 in the very near future.

I just filled up here, because they're warning that prices are going up $1
per litre tonight.
It's a nightmare at the pumps, ( hmm, I almost wrote 'pimps'. ) where debit
cards ( popular in Canada ) and credit cards aren't working because everyone
and their dog is filling up.
They are reporting something about a 100 mile long traffic jamb leaving
Texas and no gas available.

Not sure about Houston, but people are panicking in the D/FW area, and some
stations are now out of gas.
