Did that when they evacuated Savannah, Georgia a couple of years ago when
the Hurricane was *supposed* to hit.
 Major F*** up! Price gouging on the evacuation route., and that's with
the gas stations that stayed open. A lot of them bugged out too. People
simply ran out of gas. And had to stay where they were. Some didn't even
make it out of the "danger" area because of sitting in traffic *trying*
to leave and running out of gas..
 No, best to be out of there WAY before. Only, how do you know WHEN?
