coachmac9 Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Wasn't sure where to post this so folks could see it...here is the news release: http://abc13.com/traffic/txdot-i-10-closed-amid-widespread-flooding/1245832/ Travel is also being diverted to i-20 and 59 so it could be a mess. especially on 59.

Bill Joyce Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 This affects I-10 around the Texas/Louisiana border. Luckily most Escapees are nowhere near that area right now, but it does affect those that are. 2004 40' Newmar Dutch Star DP towing an AWD 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, Fulltimer July 2003 to October 2018, Parttimer now.

coachmac9 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 It will have a big affect on 59 north also. Especially going through the small towns of Diboll and Corrigan that do not have loops to go around the towns. I've seen the traffic backed up in Livingston for miles outside of town on 59 before the loop was constructed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirakawa Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 This affects I-10 around the Texas/Louisiana border. Luckily most Escapees are nowhere near that area right now, but it does affect those that are. How do you presume to know where most Escapees are right now? There are many bridges crossing the Sabine River between Texas and Louisiana. Hundreds of thousands of people cross them every day. Today, all of them south of Toledo Bend Reservoir are closed. That affects millions of people throughout the region whether they are traveling east-west or just running to the grocery store. I would guess that a few Escapees are included in that group.

I don't want to get into some kind of flame war. I was clarifying that the road closure was only in one area of Texas, since otherwise someone would have to click the link to find that out, and many are scared of weblinks. I just went to the group map on RVillage.com and it shows a fairly even distribution of Escapees Club members around the USA. southern Canada and into Mexico. 2004 40' Newmar Dutch Star DP towing an AWD 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, Fulltimer July 2003 to October 2018, Parttimer now.

bigjim Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Thanks Bill. Others need to keep in mind there are people that use the forum that are not Escapes. As busy as I-10 is there is bound go be forum trackers on that route this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I Thought it would be better to wait it out. Truck not going anywhere and the builder is very understanding.
