I'm sure glad I have a friend in Joe Deshotel, Jr. of Pollabear.org. Once again, he's out roaming around and gathering the footage we need to tell you that the area is still damaged and staying away is still the best option for you.
That being said, here's some footage from Beaumont of the Federal Aid rolling in, and of the staging grounds for officials at Ford Park.
I feel like I've seen this before, oh yeah, we did. Three years ago. It's like deja vu all over again.
And here's some more Pollabear.org video of the area.
Yet another reason to stay away for now...we have very little gas in the area. Seriously, I drove around today and saw three gas stations open. Wal-Mart on Highway 69, Wal-Mart on Twin City and H-E-B on 365. All have lines starting on the highways and snaking around the grocery store's parking lots.
If that's not a two, or at least three hour wait, I would be suprised.
Thanks, Joe and once again, thank you Pollabear.org.
