You can see the personal pickup truck of wikipedia editor Jordan Mills pulling a trailer in this image. It is the thirteenth vehicle back in the middle main flow lane, immediately behind a white pickup truck with a large trailer. Personal note I came to the hurricane rita article to add some personal pictures, and saw there was one here. I have a habit of looking for myself in pictures of important things - I often turn up in them, an odd sort of luck. This photo was taken about 1700 on 21 september 2005 on IH45S nb ("Gulf Freeway") just south of Bay Area Blvd. The ambulances you see are a series of several dozen that were evacuating ICU patients from UTMB. This was the first few minutes of my 22 hour journey.

Clarification on the location of this picture: based on the billboards and road signs, I have determined that it was taken from the Calder Road overpass in League City. This location is 3 interchanges and approximately 3 1/2 miles south of Bay Area Boulevard. I grew up a half-mile from this location and am quite familiar with the area.
