Steve from NWS in LA - Landfall expected between 11:30pm and 12AM for Cameron and Jefferson. If eyewall threatens more inland they will issue more warnings. No warning for Orange Co. TX at this time. Expecting issued warning for Cocaseux(sp? - my apologies for butchering!). Expecting tornado type damage over a wide area.
It's Calcasieu ...(I think...lol)
Land is about 1-5 feet above sea level for all of the Southern part of the Parish.
But most of it is uninhabited marshland as I remember it.
The parish north of there (which I cannot spell much better) is where the towns of Lake Charles, Sulphur, Vinton, and Westlake are.
Vinton has a racetrack for the Texans. Sulphur is a little further East, and then you have Westlake and then Lake Charles.
We might be hearing more of those names, as well as the name of Orange, Texas in the news, as well as Port Arthur...
