I had my co-pilot working the gps overtime finding us back roads to get around all the stopped traffic between Austin and Dallas. Even accidentally wound up right in the middle of the mess in West, TX (fertilizer explosion site). There were cops EVERYWHERE, fire trucks, etc. all over that little town. The streets were blocked off with temporary concrete barricades. Spooky. Made it through, though. One more re-route around a blockage right in Dallas, then smooth sailing the rest of the way, but it still took 2 hours longer to get home than it did to get to Austin because of the traffic.
