The lake charle blog being updated by the weather service there has not updated in over an hour. I would say they are having serious problems. They made some comments on KPLC a while back that made it sound like they were worried about storm surge at there location.
The wind and water is blowing so bad in lake charles as seen right now on Fox and those street lights are STILL ON!
