Quote: as this is my only source of information on this storm, I was hoping for some reports.
http://www.click2houston.com has a live video stream up, but since Houston was spared from a direct impact there coverage right now is more focused on traffic jams resulting from people trying to get back into the city (no gas). Wind is still gusting to around 40 mph in Port Authur TX where the eye came ashore, combined that with the number of trees down and they simply can't get into the most damaged areas yet. Lake Charles, LA took a hard hit, check the main news sites like CNN, MSNBC, FoxNews, ect. Seems the coastal flooding (storm surge) is not as bad as first feared, it's mostly wind damage so far.
