"I like that name, Jasper. I think I'll name my next cat or dog..Jasper! :) "
Its probably named after the rock called jasper, its a red color. Ive got a few Texas arrowheads made from it.
Live feed Lake Charles: Large container barge grounded.
Autozone and doller store destroyed by fire in Pasadena.
Other than that not too bad for them.
I10 overpass somwhere in LA collapsed..unconfirmed.
Just great. I-10 is still down to one west bound lane near Pascagoula.
Any early reports on how the refineries at Lake Charles and Port Arthur fared? Oil rigs?
I10 overpass somwhere in LA collapsed..unconfirmed.
Not too surprising: I-10 past Baton Rouge is one verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry long low pair of bridges over the swamps. Past that area, there are intermittant swamps low bridges all the way to where "solid" ground starts a little before the border.
Storm surge and flood waters "lift" the bridge up off of its old (1050's) concrete columns and allow the bridge sections to fall off their supports. See the Pensacola Bridge over Mobile Bay for comparable damage. (Wave damage of course greater at Penn. than in the swamps.)
