Almost a ghost town

It's not quite like it was after Hurricane Rita, but there is almost no traffic on the roads in South and Mid-Jefferson County. On my way in to work this morning, while driving down Twin City Highway, as I topped the overpass over Spur 136 I could see behind me into Port Arthur past Jefferson City and ahead of me to Saba Lane and there were no other cars on the road. I finally saw another car, a Port Arthur police officer, when I reached Jimmy Johnson. There was a little more activity at lunch time, but not much more. It will be nice when some people — and some life — return to town.
