Here in Houston, those fancy overhead electronic signs over the highways normally indicate how traffic is flowing. Like, you'll be on a highway and you know it intersects with another major highway a few miles ahead and it'll say, "6 minutes to I-610 at 4:53 PM" -- so you can look at the clock and have a pretty reasonable and accurate idea of when you'll be getting somewhere. That kind of thing. The signs also, of course, alert people to accidents and Amber Alerts when necessary.

However, yesterday and again this morning they had a very simple message for everyone:

"HURRICANE SEASON IS HERE. KEEP YOUR GAS TANK FULL."

Yes, that sounds reasonable. Thanks for the tip.
