We just tried leaving for New Ulm and we were going to take one of the old FM roads FM 529 to be specific. It was bumper to bumper so we came back home. I can't tell you how pissed I am that TEXDOT has dropped the ball on the counterflow lanes. Houston could have been emptyed by now if they would have done it earlier.
I had heard earlier that they had not done it because of emergency vehicles needing the freedom of movement. Tom Delay was just on Fox saying it will be done with 45, then 10, then 290.
