Good grief! Why don't people take side roads? Good Question !! Perhaps too many nowdays always in such a hurry traveling interstates, they have never bothered *finding* the MANY backroads of Texas.

They need this:

Excellent reference for those who might want to follow and track the storm.

I got an email from a friend who evacuated Houston last night. She said they took all the backroads they could around the clogged highways, but it still took us 6 hours to get to the NW side of Houston and 10 hours to get to Austin. Does that explain it?
