No hard news on Polk, did you get my earlier post on that? Big wind at Lufkin and Nacadoches...not far away but hopefully far enough.

The worst storm-surge related flooding in Lake Charles should be over. The water at the
USG gage there topped at 8.61 feet ASL at 12 Noon. It was down to 7.71 feet ASL as of 4PM. Here's the daily chart (ignore the sudden dip down - the gage was out for a few hours around 4AM):
