EAST INVASION - Featured Story - SunHerald.com: "PASCAGOULA -- Jackson County residents felt the effects earlier this week when thousands of Louisianans clogged Interstate 10 and U.S. 90 instead of taking the contraflow route north in evacuating from Hurricane Gustav.

Emergency Management Director Butch Loper said Friday that what happened made evacuation more difficult for his county. Luckily, the storm stayed on course and spared Jackson County a major hit.

Contraflow is designed to route all traffic from New Orleans north into Mississippi on I-55 and I-59."
