Sorry folks to hear that you don't have power yet. I was lucky in that dept. I live in pearland and we got light last tuesday, a week ago. As far as traffic is concerned, I am also PIDIT. Takes me hour and a half to reach downtown from pearland, about 14 miles distance.

I used to take the Almeda Rd right into downtown passing Medical Center. This morning thought about taking 288N. When I saw the traffic backed up in 288 upto Beltway 8 South, I just made a U-turn and took Almeda again. Left home at 6:40 in the morning and reached work at 8. That Sucks!

Anyway, Chipledhunga bro ko ma chittai batti aawos...Good Luck!
