Thank God Shirley Phelps is going to hell :-)

This video is NOT of the aftermath, its taken during the day on Friday before the storm came ashore. I found out cabin and got excited until I realized there was no damage, no debris and checked the title screen which explains it was taken before the storm arrived. How disappointing! I thought we still had our cabin! The name needs to be changed to not mislead others! Thanks for posting it!

it impossible for people to understand how large something like this is. you cant comprehend. and yet another season is on us, i come back yearly to remind myself what we deal with down here.

do you have any pictures of bridge city?

I use to live there as well..and I am co-authoring a book about the devastation to South East Texas and the people who are left behind to deal with the tragedy and pick up there everyday lives and try to start over. I feel the people of this nation should try to understand what exactly its like to go through something like this (not only in the physical sense, but within a family). The responsibilities of a family doesn't stop! Work, school, birthdays...

I live 2 minutes from Bridge City, TX. Any of you know where that is? Almost wiped that city off the map. everythings lookin up though. I lived in vidor, tx when hurricane rita came through there. seems like for the last 5 years TX/LA has been a target.

Do people realize they can bring on their deaths more quickly with choosing to go against a powerful hurricane to stay and protect your house. What can you do with a hammer, nails and plywood in the middle of a massive wave coming thru your living room....Cry, and wish you had left...that's it.

Lesson # i Katrina,#2 Ike; for anyone stupid enough to decide to ride it out in the path of a hurricane.You too could be one of the bodies unaccounted for when/if /where the next storm hits.They say 3 strikes and you're out.

you know the storm was bad when two barges wash up and park themselves on the Eastbound lane of hwy 73..

[TheDieselDr]

Yea it was pretty bad in Winnie too the water came in past hwy 73 in some areas out east the Double J Arena!! Pipkin ranch and The Flyin J ranch "where I was" got salt water 4ft deep and Johnny Ackel is missing a buckin' bull that was to be Buckin' Bull of the year and had alot cows drown... at 2:30am Sat a tornado came right by Johnny's house.. at 3:00 am the generator went under saltwater... I know a lot of old timers here and some say they have never seen it so bad.... not in their lifetime.
