That second webcam has heavy two-way traffic. I hope that's not a whole lot of folks giving up on the evac and going home.

The main highway is moving quite nicely in those pictures. I don't get why the feeder on the one side is so congested. Is I-45 contraflowed there?

I-10 now clear, not hardly any cars out here at all...

I-45 in The Woodlands is always a mess! All the way thru Conroe! Because of construction they've got something like 5 lanes that funnel down, almost instantly, to one!

Traffic's not that bad until the Parramatta Camera. That's near Exit 66 of I-45. Traffic near Rankin (Exit 63) looks light and Little York (Exit 55) looks deserted. Louetta is further up I-45 near Exit 70. After that, I-45 merges with the Hardy Toll Road around Exit 72. So traffic is backed up 6 miles before a big merge.
The most recent report I've heard said Contraflow begins at FM-1488 - Exit 81, where I-45 becomes 2 lanes in each direction. There are no cameras there, but reports are that the Contraflow traffic is running smoothly - 65MPH in some places, even. So you may be looking at a 15 mile backup, which isn't bad, under the circumstances.
