The official word on contra flow is that it starts at FM-1488 which is 20 miles north of this location and the point where I-45 north narrows to two lanes. However, callers to KPRC (on the internet) say that they have now moved the contra flow start further south. Whether that is official or not I don't know. Press conference now starting...
Presser...
Metro buses and trucks to distribute water on the freeway. Buses to pick up those that want to get off of the freeways. Not saying where busses will go, though. Ask for volunteers to come to a location to assist in water distribution. Promising fuel to stations along route and fuel trucks to stranded motorists.
