Some very good points, as we have all learned from Katrina, Rita, Ike, etc, etc. The "Escape Routes" become clogged with traffic very quickly. The decision to Bug Out must be made BEFORE an evacuation is ordered by Emergency Management Offices, in order to be workable.

I have a lot more research to get accomplished before I tweak what I "pulled out of my butt" this afternoon.

I don't know exactly what route a flash flood from a broken levee at Lake Providence would take, although I have a general idea. Depending on whether such a break occurred during daylight or nighttime hours would determine if aIssued Warnings wiould be received in a timely fashion (best scenario) or in insufficient time to Bug Out (worst scenario).

Hang on Terxians cause if Lake Providence Levee were to break, you'd have a whole lot of Louisianians heading westward.

If a Levee broke at Morganza, La, folks would be scattering to the East and West!
