Here’s a snippet from news.yahoo.com regarding Orange TX and flooding:
“Farther up the coast, much of Bridge City and downtown Orange were under up to 8 feet of water and rescue teams in dump trucks were plowing through in an effort to reach families trapped on roofs and inside attics.
“Right now we’re pretty devastated,” Orange County Judge Carl Thibodeaux said. “We’re still watching the water steadily rise slowly. Hopefully it’s going to crest soon.”
Thibodeaux said Ike was not causing as much structural damage as Rita, but that rising water was making the effects more devastating. Thibodeaux and other officials were stuck inside an emergency operation center, where he said the water outside was at least 5 feet and rising. ”
