Update: 30 Aug 2017
Hurricane Harvey continues to affect flights to and from Texas and the Gulf Coast
United flights to and from Texas and the Gulf Coast continue to be affected by Hurricane Harvey. There are now a limited number of flights operating between Houston and other major U.S. airports, but many flights to and from Houston continue to be canceled.
Please check your flight status before you go to the airport, and sign up to receive flight status messages in the event of changes. Also note that road conditions around the airport continue to be poor, so travelers should carefully plan their travel to and from the airport.
If you have an upcoming United flight that includes travel through Houston, we recommend postponing your travel until conditions improve. The Houston area is extremely taxed and may not have the resources to offer hotel and restaurant services to Houston visitors.
Travelers with booked flights to, from or through the Texas and Gulf Coast area can use our travel waiver to change their flight. Please note that we are experiencing a high volume of calls due to the severity of the situation, so we recommend using united.com or the United app.

Waiver has now been extended to 08/31, same day I'm supposed to be on UA 1126 to DEN. With the high frequency of flights on this route and my original flight being in the morning, do folks think I should re-book to 9/1 or should I still be alright with so many protection options throughout the day?

UA2752 IAH-BOS just departed.
UA1897 IAH-LAX about to depart.
Shockingly, both IAH departures pushed half-emtpy. Maybe UA did a good job at making sure no one would be in a position to be stranded?

If thats live it doesn't look likes theres any flooding where this camera is facing.
I've heard that IAH doesn't have much of a flooding issue, unlike HOU.

If you have any flight plans through IAH this week, you should proactively reschedule.
My sympathies for all those who are affected.

Any guesses here on whether SFO-IAH-GUA is going to happen this Saturday (9/2)? I'm thinking of booking an alternative for my wife for this one-way to Guatemala. Thanks.
