I-10 closed in both directions due to flooding of the Sabine River at the Texas/Louisiana border.

If you had left Houston North Supercharger and made it all the way to Orange, TX before realizing the interstate was closed you would likely need a back up charging plan to either get back to Houston or take a long route around the closure to make it to Lake Charles, LA.

EDIT: No comments needed from the Texas folks that this is a blessing... :)
 
FWIW, you can bypass Houston when coming down I45 towards eastbound I 10. after charging at Huntsville let waze or the nav. guide you to the Lake charles LA SC. in an 85 or 90 this is a long but easily made hop, and you skip the Houston traffic
