Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hi Everyone, I just wanted everyone to know that everything is alright following Hurricane Ike. I evacuated to nearby Lumberton, Texas with the police and fire departments, and we returned the next day. Prior to leaving, my sister took my mother to her house, so I knew she would be safe. My house didn’t sustain any damage, but there is a section of the fence that’s leaning. There are also a lot of downed limbs around the area. There isn’t any electricity in the area, but the other utilities are working. Right now, I’m on Emergency 12-hour shifts until the situation has been resolved. Fortunately, the Port Arthur area did not get the massive flooding that was predicted by the news media, except for the Sabine Pass area of town. Other areas, such as neighboring Bridge City, also received massive flooding. Many of my friends who live there reported having 2-7 feet of water in their houses. All I can do is hope for the best for those whose houses were flooded. I really appreciate everyone’s concern, and I will try to keep everyone posted as best I can during the aftermath of Ike. Thank you for everything, and I will be in touch. Jimmie Nixdorf Port Arthur Police Department Port Arthur, TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
