ONE thing that would really help - is just to know which roads are passable. Not just for Houston, but many other towns in Texas. There are lots of TX residents saying (in the news) ... "we were going to evacuate, but we were not sure if we could get through in our car. It's not a good idea to get stuck in flood waters in your car, so we decided to shelter in our house". That story has been quite common.

People need news - with fast updates - about local road conditions. That type of really helpful data has not been available.
