I noticed this too coming back from UH. I didn't see any flood waters. They were just parked at the entrances, the exits, on the shoulder, in parking lots along the feeder.

I noticed the same thing. From downtown to the Beltway, there must have been 30-40 cop cars/trucks. Nobody knows???? It would appear they were on the lookout for someone, but I wasn't driving the Trans Am yesterday!!!

When someone "important" is in town, they do this.

Obviously, they don't advertise it on the news in advance. They want to keep folks out of the underpasses to make sure they aren't up to "anything" while folks are passing overhead.

They will also usually move or secure any persons with "disabled" vehicles along any proposed route.

They will also shut down the entire Freeway while said "person" is enroute, which makes traffic a real joy.

You see it along 45 since they ususally go in and out via Ellington Field.

Joe Biden was in town to pay a visit to George Bush Senior and the big Oil Execs asking them to drive up gas prices again, thus the reason they where in River Oaks You didnt hear anything from me j/k I dunno, but if he was in town he probably did pay G.B. Senior a visit just to learn the ropes from a Former Vice Pres and President.
