Give a report when you safely arrive. I'm hoping by this time next week they've at least opened La 12. Since the damage eastbound on I-10 is on the Texas side, I feel confident they'll have it fixed quickly. Lake Charles is so close to the border, but now feels mile away

WB 10 open. EB still closed until repairs are completed.

On mobile and can't post link, but la_dotd posted on Twitter. I'm waiting on TxDOT to confirm.

ETA: Texas has confirmed WB open. Saying EB should open soon.

Some really nasty weather in south BR right now. Thundering and lightning like a motherfricker

Maybe worst than last weeks

Big blob of red moving towards BR on the radar. If it holds together, will rain hard for about another hour.

Looks like it is going to slip just south of BR but many will still get some good rains out of it. Didn't expect this much rain today. Anyone in the BR area know how much we have gotten so far today?

Right at an inch according to my friends rain gauge. That's near Bluebonnet and Perkins
