I believe his comments are in response to what has become a monumental traffic jam on the roads leading away from the Houston area. People are sitting in parking lot mode and running out of gas. The Houston mayor is attempting to get army help to airlift stocks of gasoline to strategic spots along the highway to refuel cars that are blocking the roadways. But the point is, it may be that anybody left in Houston simply can't leave now without risking being caught on the highways in the storm.
