Now the fun begins.

The hotel I'm staying at has emptied a bit over the last couple days. Now, however, the traffic in this little town is picking up exponentially. There is a line at the gas stations from 7am when I went to work 'til 6:30pm when I returned from looking at houses. I'm pretty sure where these people are coming from, but I'm not sure when they're going to leave. There isn't much infrastructure here to support much more than the few extra people who showed up to escape the initial storm.

Seems like the right thing to do would be to move all the unfortunates to the states that have the lowest unemployment. There would obviously be better chances for them to start anew there.
