We traveled to Atlanta when hurricaine Floyd was headed our way. Short notice of mandatory evacuation for all surrounding areas. Traffic was a disaster. It's 250 miles from my house to the hotel we were staying in. The drive took 23 hours!! Bumper-to-bumper traffic on the interstate the whole way. 23 hours to drive 250 miles! It was after that fiasco that they set up gates and other stuff to change our interstates to be outbound traffic in all lanes. Long overdue.
