[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Coop, now you are making me nervous!!! Is the storm surge the reason behind your latest post?

20ft storm surge in P.A. dude.

My dad has to stay behind since he's the only electrician for the Vidor ISD maintenance department, so me my mom and my brother are leaving for Dallas at 6 tomorrow morning, right before everything starts happening... 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

Anyone have any idea how the Storm Surge affects Nederland and Port Neches?

I heard that anything south of I-10 has a chance of storm surge, the closer to the coast, the worse...

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?

Just heard on KJAS in Jasper that Jasper, Newton, and Hardin counties have issued mandatory evac orders as of 9:30 CDT.

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]

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

Sounds like Port Neches and Nederland could expect 5 -7 foot of water with the Surge :(

Yes, that is the current forecast. You staying?

[bulldogdad55]

naaahhh...i don't think so..

[bulldogdad55]

it may be expected...but i don't think water will get to 5-7 feet in nederland area

[KFDM COOP]

All we can do is pray!! :'(

[bulldogdad55]

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]

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...

KJAS website says Jasper, Newton, and Tyler counties.

Oh okay. I did hear it wrong. That's why I'm not a reporter.  ;D

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

well my town is going underwater now.  :'(

[stevieray]

Quick question.....Is the 20 foot surge prediction at high tide or will it be higher if it hits at that time?

[WOSHIGHc/o2001]

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.

Hey Coop, just curious about the rest of the 6 News team.  Where do they go when it gets bad?
