Chambers Cty has flood surge problems. Which is Port Arthur and Beaumont. Do a search and see if you can't find a storm surge map for that area. This AM local weather man talked about the areas for storm surge and Chambers Cty is one of them.
I trying hard not to think about the reconstruction costs of rebuilding a significant portion of the Texas coast (especially a highly urbanized and or industrialized portion), as well as the Miss. and La. gulf coasts.
It's looking more and more inevitable though. :o(
I wonder how many people who evacuated from New Orleans to Texas and had decided that they were'nt going back to NO making Texas thier new home are now having second thoughts?
Thanks. Found the surge map.
