Houston, We Have A Problem

Apologies for the headline, but you know everybody else will be doing it...

Below is a photo (from here) as of about ten minutes ago showing the exodus from Houston. Shouldn't someone give the order to turn the southbound lanes into additional northbound (i.e. evacuation) lanes?

Wasn't this an issue during the New Orleans evacuation?

MORE: Reportedly, Gov. Perry did make an order but, according to the traffic cams, not every southbound road has been converted to northbound traffic as of this point.

NYC turns 2 lanes of the east bound Long Island Expressway into west bound traffic to accomodate rush hour traffic, and reverses it in the evening. If NYC can do this on a daily basis, this should be standard procedure for an evacuation. What will it take for the 'professionals' to get this right?
