I hope people are being careful out there... :shudder:

"Pictures of the Bridge City area show nothing but water and tons of it. Texas Ave. is nothing but water and it has been reported many homes and business have feet of water inside.

Orange has also been reported to have serious flooding. Water was white-capping on MacArthur Drive."

According to Joe Mires, of the Orange Fire Department, there is 2 feet of water at the Central Fire Station and the city of Orange from the Sabine River to the area of 16th Park Streets is now under water. However, Mires said there was "very little destruction from wind damage."

The Sabine runs through here, good fishin spot my personal fav. but moccasins are a problem, so I got a 410 shotgun

glad to hear that wind damage was light on the other end of the river

Ahhhh, now I know where all the Ike rainfall went because it sure wasn’t in the direct path.
