Cars are lined up bumper to bumper Tuesday, Sept. 14, 1999 while the incoming lanes are virtually empty on Interstate 26 as people evacuate the Charleston, S.C. area. Motorists were complaining that the inbound lanes of Interstate 26 east, should have been open to outbound traffic. The travel from downtown to seven miles out of the city took up to five hours.
