I Just wanted to let everyone know that Bridge City is apparently under water, There are numerous reports that there is about 5-10 feet of water in all locations in Bridge City. The only CONFIRMED report that I have is from a friend who has stayed, and was woke up at 1AM by water in his house. He and his kids have been forced up into their attic, and at this time there is 4 to 5 feet of water in their house. There are numerous reports from the Bridge City of other people being forced to their attics and roof. Also reports from Downtown Orange that a breach of a "Levee" has put about 9.5 feet of water into Downtown. Keep in mind that Bridge City didn't even get Hurricane forced winds during this storm, the surge was due to the size of the storm itself.
I am in East Texas right now, and it's pretty bad up here at this time. Not nearly as bad as Rita, but still pretty bad, with wind gusts close to 80mph.
