Driving Saturday from Houston to FL - Isaac Aftermath??

[purplskylr]

I posted this in the Transportation Section as well, but thought it may get more exposure here.

At the title suggests, we are leaving this Saturday morning to drive to FL for our first Disney trip (we are traveling with two kids - 3 and 5). My obvious concerns are getting through LA in the morning/lunch hours and being able to get gas in LA and MS. Unfortunately, there is only one real route through LA to get to FL - Interestate 10/12. I have been searching the internet for any information on the conditions of the roads/area and gas. As of yesterday evening, I wasn't able to find much information. I am sure more information will come out today since most of the storm has left the LA area. Is there anyone in the area that can give me some idea of what is going on in this area and about the gas situation (shortages or not).

On one hand I was happy the storm didn't hit FL and I didn't have to reschedule/cancel our reservation. On the other hand, now I have the uncertainty of our drive through LA and MS.

The Interstates 10/12 are open. Gas stations are open and gas should be available. To be safe I would fill up around Lafayette, La. Gas should be available around Gulfport and Biloxi and certainly by Mobile.

I live just north of I-10 in MS and our stations have replenished. The only area where I heard of water on the Interstate was at Bay St. Louis, MS and that did not close the road.

Enjoy your trip. Wish I were going instead of picking up limbs from my yard.
