Viral Highway Image Is Unrelated to Hurricane Ida

As Hurricane Ida approached the Gulf Coast of the U.S., many residents of Louisiana decided to evacuate. This led to a significant amount of congestion on the I-10 highway. On social media, an image that many claimed to be the gridlocked highway soon began circulating. 

Posts sharing this image have gained significant attention. One now-deleted Twitter post which has since been shared as a screenshot managed to get hundreds of interactions within a short timeframe.
