Something is wrong with our system.  If employers see how bad the weather is thru midday, why are non essential personnel not dismissed early?  This would insure everyone getting home at a decent hour, and not sitting on a highway turned into a parking lot like what happened on 225.  If I was in charge I sure would put my employees well being first in these case scenerios. 

Thank God I live inside the 610 loop where I do not need to get on any freeway to get home.  I was at home right on time as usual and able to see the news at 5pm. 

Everyone have a Blessed weekend, stay safe!

I agree 110%... we were excused early (2pm vs. 4pm), however it took me over 3 hours to drive 20 miles home. What was frustrating for me is that I work in Pasadena off of RedBluff (which ALWAYS floods) and then take the southbelt west home to Pearland, however Transtar doesn't report these areas so I couldn't check to see which would be the best route home, so it was turn off of this back road to get to that back road. I feel that unless you are in Houston proper, you are often 'ignored'.

That is such a tough call.
Sometimes it's best to not go anywhere. I waited an extra 30 minutes or so at work before I left for home. I didn't want to drive in heavy rain, possible high water, or extra traffic. Sometimes employers help by keeping people around.
But again, that's a tough call. You also want everyone to be given the choice to get home and take care of family and property.
