You may remember scenes from Houston when Hurricane Rita was barreling down on us. New Orleans had just been destroyed so over a million people tried leaving Houston. A quarter of those drove past our house just off I-45. We live about 25 miles from downtown Houston but even that close we had dozens of cars breaking down or running out of gas by us. At the time there were many emergency shelters popping up at churches/schools but neither the evacuees nor we knew where these shelters were.

After everything settled down I combed the internet and found all the places used as emergency shelters in a ten-mile radius and plotted them on a map. This map isn't for me/my family. It's to pass out to stranded people the next time something like this happens. I don't want them on my doorstep again!
