Everyone stay safe! May the Lord be with you and your family and all our SE Texas neighbors who are evacuating or staying behind. Great Post....I second that, prayers from Fort Worth
PNG70 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Anyone have any idea how the Storm Surge affects Nederland and Port Neches?

jetski Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 I may be incorrect, but I thought I heard it was just Jasper & Newton counties having a mandatory evacuation, not Hardin County. Come on Hamilton, what's up with that? On 9/11/2008 at 5:39 PM, Bulldog92 said: Just heard on KJAS in Jasper that Jasper, Newton, and Hardin counties have issued mandatory evac orders as of 9:30 CDT.
bulldogdad55 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 I'm up here in Dallas PNG..i wish someone would tell us...i'm in Nederland...i hope my house is safe...just found out about the 20 storm surge...YIKES!
stevieray Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 If you think you need to get out don't second guess yourself or wait for someone to tell you that you have to leave....Just get out of town
PNG70 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Sounds like Port Neches and Nederland could expect 5 -7 foot of water with the Surge :(

bulldogdad55 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 it may be expected...but i don't think water will get to 5-7 feet in nederland area
KFDM COOP Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Posted September 11, 2008 All we can do is pray!! :'(
bulldogdad55 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 There you are COOP..hope your on high ground...do you really think we're gonna receive 5-7 ft. of water in Nederland?
KFDM COOP Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Posted September 11, 2008 I'm in NE Texas in Carthage. If a 20 foot surge comes in, Port Arthur goes under water, their sea wall is 15 feet. Not sure at this time on how much salt water Mid county would get! Hope everyone stays safe and i'll be on from time to time.

I may have heard it wrong too, but Hardin should be doing the same thing...
RETIREDFAN1 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 KJAS website says Jasper, Newton, and Tyler counties.

Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 well my town is going underwater now. :'(
stevieray Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Quick question.....Is the 20 foot surge prediction at high tide or will it be higher if it hits at that time?
WOSHIGHc/o2001 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Well I evacuated to south of Lafayette. Not the smartest, but out of the Golden Triangle. I hope everyone listens and gets the hell out of there.
