Planning Fallacies often under estimate evacuation time. Outstanding examples are the 1935 Labor Day hurricane in the Florida Keys when the "rescue train" took an extremely longer time to assemble and ended up being further delayed by the engine being pointed in the wrong direction. Another more recent example was the massive traffic jam during the evacuations of Galveston and Houston during Hurricane Rita in 2005 when up to 2.7 million people evacuated, leading to massive delays such as taking 15 hours to go 13 miles resulting with many people running out of gas with little water or food for such long waits
