Nut Just Stuck...
...but overnighted in the on-field Marriott (at my expense of course). The first available seat to SNA Friday is at 17:40. Welcome to my new Texas office.

IAH-SNA
9:20 am Y3
11:40 am Y4
2:56 pm A1 Y3
IAH-LAX
7:45 am A4 Y9
btw, had you done a bit more research, you could've gotten out of there tonight:
CO 295 IAH-LAX 10:45 p.m. (should be leaving right about now) is wide open and delayed by about 5 minutes.
There's also CO 1427 IAH-ONT delayed to leave now at 11:00 p.m. Not sure about the load on it, but they might haven been able to put you on that too.

I was in the B Terminal PC at around 300pm this afternoon, and it was a complete madhouse. Then the area around B72A had the horrible addition of 2 cancelled flights to DAL, so there were the usual assortment of screaming pax and crying babies...all sitting out in the hallways.
Thank goodness for noise cancelling headphones and a non-cancelled flight to DAL! (Although I did arrive here 2 hours late...but I arrived nonetheless!).

What is going on with the weather over there? weather.com says Houston is just fine...partly cloudy with passing showers...been that way all day.
Now I'm nervous about my flight tomorrow...if I misconnect at IAH, I won't make my LAX connection to HNL Saturday morning.
Edited: just looked at the radar map...lots of heavy rain and thunderstorms
I hope tomorrow is better.

Tuesday was almost as bad. Departed for OAK "on time" and found ourselves "about number forty" for takeoff. It was only then that ATC decided to change the runway directions ... net result was about an hour and a half butt in seat on the ground slowing rolling around IAH.

Had a two and a half hour delay getting home on CO Connection from TYR tonight. Fortunately TYR is a nice little airport with free wi-fi. I'm flying out of IAH to DAL Friday afternoon, and hoping that this nasty weather has moved on before that.

Wed: EWR->JAX. Delayed 1.5hrs. Weather in EWR.
Thurs: JAX->IAH. Delayed 0.75hrs. Weather in IAH.
Thurs: IAH->SDF. Delayed 1.5hrs then wait additional 1hr on the ground. Weather in IAH.
The joys of biz travel!
