People stretched along the long road out of town as thousands of people evacuated Southeast Texas along the routes we were forced to take north and east of the Beaumont-Port Arthur area. Many people walked their dogs, or themselves, while the traffic stopped, which was frequent. 

This photo is from the Big Thicket National Preserve with no services near, such as restrooms, gas stations, convenient stores, or restaurants. The wooded edges of the road served as public bathrooms because we had no other choice.

Get me out of here! This was the scene as thousands of people evacuated Southeast Texas along the evacuation routes we were forced to take north and east of the Beaumont-Port Arthur area.

The wooded edges of the road served as public bathrooms because we had no other choice. One unfortunate outcome of this evacuation is that some of these back roads were destroyed by all of the garbage, waste, and traffic, such as huge chunks of pavement were pulled up by 18-wheelers. Oh yeah and the temps were in the 100s. Taken on Sept 22, 2005.

Vera's was a popular seafood resturant, located at the end of Lakeview (formerly Rat's Nest Road) in Slidell. All that remains are these pilings and this sign. It was one of many small businesses ruined by Hurricane Katrina.
