Good luck to you and your neighbors. The poor Beaumont area has just been blasted the last few years.

Many thanks everyone. We didn’t take a vacation this year since Covid so we’ll try to make the best of it with a hurrication.
Never been to Fredericksburg so we’ll see some of the town while we’re here. Any suggestions are welcome!
Great town! Beer, antiques, and an awesome WWII Museum.

Hauntingly beautiful:

Enchanted Rock outside Fredericksburg is pretty great if you want to do a short hike.

Glad you’re safe. My aunt in Nederland has evacuated.
My cousin in Beaumont is… riding it out??
Wow.
Make sure you make a reservation online.
Ugg, I hate to hear anyone has stayed
My father n law wouldn’t leave & is riding it out in Beaumont. Some friends in Bridge City won’t leave as well. The friend in Bridge City wasn’t there for Ike so they have no clue what flooding they will have to deal with.
I think of Rita. Devastating.
Everyone should be out of that area.
Unfortunately, I get to watch from a penthouse in the hospital. Living in one of the highest places in Kingwood, we have never been close to flooding, so we have little reason to leave.

The 10:00am NHC update has Laura inching a bit further east, which should lessen the impact on Beaumont. It’s still going to suck, but Lake Charles is going to get the brunt of it.
My cousin evacuated for Rita and it was 2-3 days before he could get back and start with cleanup of his and my aunt’s houses. He’s ridden out every storm (Ike, Harvey, Laura) since.
That’s my hometown.
My parents moved 6 weeks before Ike hit.
Literally nothing like it in the recorded history of the area.
Every home had water in it. Every. One.
Hope it’s nothing like that this time and everyone stays safe.
I have family in Nederland too, 98 year old grandma in-law. Thankfully we scared her with the potential no AC for days scenario, to get her to head to one of her sons house.
