I am out of town in San Antonio. Many have told me not to venture back into Houston. Being the kind of "show must go on" type of worker that I am, I am very reluctantly taking their advice. What are you all doing tomorrow? Which part of town do you live/work at? I live near 10 & Barker Cypress exit near the massive park. I work out of home and am not going.

We live in Sugar Land, and my husband works in the Galleria area right off Post Oak. His office is closed tomorrow.

I'm a teacher employed with HISD so I guess everyone knows when I'm going back to work.

We closed all of our Houston offices tomorrow and it's likely we will stay closed for a few days. Most of the school districts are closing until next week

Same here, with the option I can work from here or drive to Houston, but I am definitely not driving.
My house is dry, and the power is on. I will stay in S.A. till all is over. I live near City Centre, inside Tollway8. I work in a hospital.

I have family members working by remote, tomorrow. A few live near the Galleria and inside the loop. They can't get on the roads with SUVs, because the flood waters are too high and continue to rise.

Working remote should be fine.

Many school districts are closed for the week. Many people can't go into work, because they can't find sitters that can make it through the flood waters.

I work for one of the big O&G companies and they have closed their offices for at least Monday -- will give us an update on the rest of the week shortly.

With that said, me and all my team have laptops and I will be logging on for at least a few hours to make sure nothing urgent is going on.
