I live in Austin and my Dad drove from Beaumont, TX to stay with me. Most of my other SW LA relatives fled to the Shreveport area. Now we can't get any news of damage and the MSM isn't reporting.
I understand that there aren't any huge population centers here, but if they could make it to Beaumont then Lake Charles is only 45 minutes down the road.
This is simply a case of some producers saying "Lake Charles, Cameron Parish? Never heard of them. Next story."
I do give some credit to Fox for having Rick Leventhal there. When I saw him there I was then convinced that it was gonna be bad. He only seems to pop up when the S**t hits the fan.
When I saw that he was positioned atop a four-story parking structure, THAT'S when I knew it was going to be bad. Fox knew he and his crew would drown if they were on the ground.
