BeaumontTX wrote late last week and said she was evacuating to Lufkin at least through the weekend... I don't know where she is now....

Jefferson County is indeed shut down... my grandparents (also from Beaumont) evacuated and, like most everyone else, have no idea whether their house is still standing... no one can get in to find out anything... so we're moving them into our condo in Galveston for a few months while the area gets back on its feet....

Here's hoping 99L doesn't drive them out again... or anyone else for that matter...
