University of Houston Closed Until Sunday
The entire University of Houston system is closed until at least Sunday. After 6 p.m. today, access is restricted to “critical staff”.
There was a rush of traffic at noon today as a result of this news. I took 59 South on the way home and did not run into any traffic, but I could see other congested freeways (45 and 610).
Also, one of the gas stations by my house is out of fuel. Another one close to it had long lines. If you’re low on gas, I suggest you fill up now.
Even if you’re not in the evacuation zone, check to see if you live in a flood prone area.
