Get it...it's a Beatles song.
Yup, I've been out and about, watching The Weather Channel, keeping track of all the news updates that are coming into us from the Southeast Texas Emergency Management Office. Our website has been continuously updated as we get the information, and we're getting it straight from the source. No speculation here.
But I can only take so much. At 7 a.m., I leave back for Southeast Texas to get to do what I do best...cover the news.
I should get back tomorrow about noon, so if anyone has any questions about a particular area I will correspond back what I've seen.I will try to get around as much as possible, but I don't know how tough that can prove.
The footage from home near Bridge City and Sabine Pass does not look good, with all that water just sitting there.
As much as y'all may want to get back and just see, it's best you heed the warnings and don't. Remember, there are no emergency personnel readily available to rescue you if you get a flat tire from debris in the road. Also, many cell phone circuits are down and calls are not going through. Staying away may be the most frustrating, but by far the smartest thing to do.
Around here in Slidell, people have the storm buzz. Everyone's talking about it, and about how they couldn't believe this area got as much effect from the outer bands as we did.
At IHOP this morning, that was the talk as sat and ate our meal. As coverage of the storm was carried on area radio and television, the Greater New Orleans area was breathing a sigh of relief for the bullet dodged.
All the while, I could only think of home...Southeast Texas...where we weren't so lucky this time.
