Blast,

Is the water up over I-45 where it passes over the bayous? I may have to come that way in the morning. Last major flood I remember I seeing the water OVER the guard rails on the bridges.

No, I-45 itself is only flooded just south of The Woodlands, but many off-ramps and underpasses are under water.

So I-45 is closed???? I really don't want to come to Houston via Austin!

This may just be the excuse I was looking for to not have to come that way. It was business not fun.
