John316: They are asking people to return in a staggered fashion. This is because gasoline is extremely scarce, power and water availability, and the traffic problems that would ensue. They have divided the area into quadrants, with the dividing lines at I-10 from east to west and I-45 from north to south. The first group to return will be the northwest quadrant and that is to be tomorrow. The second group (sourthwest quadrant) will be Monday. They are telling those on the east side of 45 to stay put for now. They want to make sure that when you get home, you can get the necessities, like gasoline, etc. School has been cancelled in your area at least on Monday / Tuesday, and maybe longer. They are also asking employers to be lenient with the return of their workers.
