How scary would this be? From a blog on wunderground...

I just received this email from user Adam Henderson: "My friend is stuck on I-10 and has just called me saying there is a 12 car pile up. His CB is buzzing with news that a 18 wheeler is involved." At this stage, it might be best not to try to evacuate. Being stuck in a traffic jam on I-10 when the winds start blowing 130 mph is probably more dangerous than riding out the storm in the Superdome.

From those live shots on CNN it does still look like there is traffic on the Highways out of NOLA. Cant be many worse places to be in a Cat 5 Hurricane then in a friggin car on the Highway.
