Yep I'm in Houston area and the traffic was just insane. I did finally try to go due to the urging of my parents, but I ran into the same problem. I used a half tank of gas just to go 20 miles in 7 hours. I had to go back home. Oh well. My kids were sweating in the car because I had to turn off the A/C to conserve gas/prevent overheating. Also had to give a couple a ride home that was stranded. At least they are safer at home than they would be stuck on the side of the road. Glad I could do one good thing for someone.
