My brother is in Beaumont and just text my mom.

The need more boats and more help. They were sent there from Livingston today. He said they were told just get as many people to dry ground as possible but he is overwhelmed with the people floating by that did not make it.

If you have a boat and can get there, you are needed. If you come through Livingston, I have gas cans and gas and can send other supplies.

A group from Waco is either there or to port Arthur.

I saw this picture posted of i10 near Beaumont, not sure how much the conditions have improved since



Hope these people get the resources they need

90 appears to be passable. I may be headed that way this afternoon.

Unless I hear otherwise, I am going to try to get there Thursday afternoon. Best I can do.

Just to clear this up, this is in Winnie, TX which is a thirty minute drive west of Beaumont.

Traveled around Beaumont about an hour ago. Clearing up. Of course, still bad in spots though.

Any chance you made it down South Major Dr. toward Baker/Walden Road? My mom's house is out there and I'm wondering just how bad it is.

Yes.

Came from Nederland.. had to go to my parents as water got in my house.

69 to college to major to Walden. Didn't have any trouble. I believe the end of Walden near I-10 still has some standing water, but that was 2 hours ago. Might be gone by now. Hasn't rained since.

Thanks. I really appreciate the information. Hoping it ends up being better than the disaster scenario I've constructed in my head.

I just made it to Beaumont after being rescued from Countrywood Estates near Sour Lake. We had about 3 1/2 feet of water at 10 AM. Unbelievably crazy couple of days. Not looking forward to what we face now.

The other side you can't see

I live in beaumont and as a whole it's not that bad. Some areas did flood. Houses down the street from me flooded, but it's not apocalyptic. Other towns around here are worse. Port Arthur was taking any volunteers yesterday to rescue people, Beaumont was handling their own with help from other fire departments and rescue personnel.

Happened to wake up earlier and saw a news release that Beaumont is going to lose water pressure tonight. The pumps that supply the city water plant are underwater. They're not sure how long this will last as they can't assess it until the water goes down.

Update on Beaumont: No water supply

Does anyone have contact(s) of any crews doing rescues in Beaumont? I have a friend trying to track down her dad.

Edit: Father has been found safe.
