Leaving tomorrow. Wondering if you guys have any insight given its mardi gras weeekend.
I think you'll be fine on the interstates at that hour. The interstates are kind of "above the fray"...

How long did the trip take you? I am assuming you supercharged twice.Trip was actually pretty each easy. Not much traffic. In New Orleans right now enjoying the night life
Yea charged twice. Total trip time to nola took 8 hours because of ridiculous traffic leaving Houston Friday.
Sunday total trip time was a lot better, left Nola at 330 and arrived in Houston around 930. Total charging time was about 1 hour. 30 min each. I had a decent buffer so i can sustain the 80 plus speed .

Here's to hoping that no one was traveling through Baton Rouge in the last couple of days or the next couple of days. Terrible flooding situation going on there.
I'm seeing reports that Interstate 10 is closed near Baton Rouge (Siegen Lane and Bluebonnet Rd areas) with water over the road and I-12 is closed at Denham Springs and near I-55 with water over the road.
Historic flooding levels not seen before in recorded history. I have seen a picture of Acadian Thruway (the exit to the Supercharger coming from the East) yesterday and it was severely flooded where it dips under the RR tracks right after you get off the interstate.
Good luck to all our Baton Rouge friends...

EDIT: I-12 is now closed from Baton Rouge to Covington, LA (62 miles) due to flooding and water on the interstate. Reports are that State Troopers are telling stranded motorists to prepare to spend the night in their vehicles.
I left the Baton Rouge SC around 4 PM.
You can take the Acadian exit and not have to wait at that light and turn right into the shopping center. You can also see the supercharger from the interstate after passing that Perkins exit, I always peek. I'm not sure if either way would work right now since Perkins and Acadian are both closed in that area.Here's a video of the path to the Baton Rouge LA supercharger. Note, one of the people I met charging here said he made a wrong turn and it put him back on the interstate, so be careful to turn into the parking lot and not on the road that goes back to the interstate!
Here is the electric car song, if you haven't heard it:
