Have you checked out the Google Crisis Map? It’s impressive. It has real-time data collected by lots of users and Waze users. You can zoom in and see road closures. I can’t vouch for how accurate the data is, but it’s a starting point.

Google map it.
My aunt lives in Spring. I45 is to the west and it is closed about there. Don’t know how current google maps is though.
Have family members in Sugarland who live in evacuation area but no way for them to leave on roads.

A useful tool is “Houston Traffic” a Google Maps overlay.
It is showing 45 as being open north of the Woodlands. Hardy looks even worse. than 45.
10 east is blocked, and 59/69 north is blocked in multiple places, it appears.
290 is blocked for at least a week,

According to the waze mapping, I45 looks closed from just someways above FM1960. But FM1960 east bound looks open, and if it were taken across to FM69, it looks like FM69 is open north from there. One caveat - the Hardy Toll road intersection with FM1960 looks closed - hope the map is right and FM1960 is not also closed at that point. Some of the major avenues east of I45 & below Fm1960 look open north bound also.
Click the "map search" option and zoom in to see the current details.
After reading all of the posts I have not seen 249 mentioned. You may want to check to see if it is open. 249 can be accessed at Beltway 8 North.

I’m from near Tomball.
I took 2920 westbound to Waller yesterday. Got on 290 West there. Had no problems on 290 once I was out of Harris County.
Spending a few days in Austin with family. Lost power Sunday night and it may not be on for several days.
