TxHoops Posted August 30, 2017 Report Posted August 30, 2017 Some of our regulars on here and their families have experienced massive flooding. Fortunately mine has been very fortunate so far. Please continue to pray and do what you can to help the others! Quote

PhatMack19 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Report Posted August 30, 2017 "One day, it started raining. And it didn't quit for four months. We been through every kinda rain there is. Little bit of stingin rain, and big ol' fat rain, rain that flew in sideways, and sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath." -Forrest Gump Quote
baddog Posted August 30, 2017 Report Posted August 30, 2017 Rain is slacking off but it is still raining. If it moves on off, hopefully I can handle the runoff. Quote

From FB Jefferson county number is 409-867-8757, and the port Arthur numbers are 409-983-8707, or 409-983-8663. They are saying life or death situations but are trying to get more assets. Please feel free to share this. They aren't letting any boats in Port Arthur! Here's the coast guard & air force are now doing all rescues there: Coast Guard 202-372-2100 Air Force: 904-553-2185 Quote
