4. Trafic on I-40 E of Nashville at 3 pm looks like a normal day
travelled about four exits out and back, past two rest areas

about 5 semis at one rest stop, one at the other

6 or 8 trucks at local truck stop

normal semi traffic load traveling at normal speeds

If it happened, it didn't happen here

5. Hmmm. Independents are hard to keep track of unless you're in the rig I guess. LOL

6. If they keep it going for a while YOU"LL SEE COVERAGE.
Anyone have the figures on how long it would take the big suburban supermarket shelves to begin emptying out?. . Not too long is my guess.

(The mayhem would be sufficient to trigger the much feared 'martial law option' that this admin is lusting after)
