For those wondering, we took the highlighted route and it took us 6.5 hrs w/ 3 quick stops. Lots of 2 lane roads and you will likely have to pass people.

Don't know the legalities regarding evacuating nursing home patients but these videos are disturbing and sad:
Video of nurse saying nursing home residents could not be saved. She was more concerned for their privacy than safety.
Video - MARINE James Webb goes off on the director of Lake Arthur Place (owned by Cypress Glen) nursing home in Port Arthur for getting in the way of the rescue.

I know a little of what happened with nursing homes after Katrina.
I know a woman whose Mother died by drowning in St. Bernard when the home wasn't evacuated (and the families were told all was under control).
At the same time, other nursing homes in the area were moving their clients all over the south, to other homes owned by the same corporations. One of the workers who was doing the driver stopped by our home to sleep, eat, and get her next assignments.
Then, it was up to the home how the situation was handled.
Two things impressed me ...the guy who evacuated the elderly lady by boat (and was strong enough to lift her electric wheelchair into the boat and save it
....the c navy evacuating some of the totally bed ridden and taking dry matresses with them for the future comfort of those helpless ones.

Can't you take 190-E @ Jasper to 171-S to I-10 E just past Lake Chuck?
Is 190 flooded at all E of Jasper?

Things are bad in the Orange area. Most of the county is still without power and Entergy is having to go farther and farther out for supplies to repair due to so many substations being damaged by flooding.
LSP are giving folks trying to get back into Texas a hard time that left Orange to go to Toomey/Vinton for supplies. They are not letting semi's with supplies through. My dad was behind a Wal-Mart truck this afternoon and saw LSP threaten to arrest the driver after he was upset when denied entry.
Backwater flooding from the Sabine is starting to occur throughout the east side of the county due to the Toledo Bend water releases. Voluntary evacuations for everyone east of 16th Street and in areas that flooded last year.

Why are they keeping supply out?

No idea, but local PD in the Parish said it is at the direction of the State Police. We have not seen a semi on the road in three round trips from Orange to Toomey or Vinton to get supplies to ferry in to people trapped by water over roads. Orange County was out of gas at all but a few stores today. All the supplies have to come out of Louisiana due to road closures (Hwy 87 has water over it in the north, I-10 in the west is closed at the Neches River, and south is contraflow over the Neches from Port Arthur due to marsh flooding).
This afternoon we spoke with an Entergy worker that was surveying damage in our neighborhood and he told us his convoy had to wait for hours for permission to enter Texas at the I-10 checkpoint Thursday. They were waiting on parts from Lufkin because they couldn't get them in from Louisiana.

They showed jeremiah getting rescued on the big screen at church and him not knowing where to go or what to do and having nothing and being thankful for God. Brought me to tears

Spent the day in Kingwood gutting houses. I'm exhausted. Mentally and physically. The destruction is awful, but people spirits were high. I brought a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter in case anyone was hungry. I turned down more food than I can even count. People and business just driving around handing out food. It was a beautiful thing to see. Back at it tomorrow.
Amazing isn't it? There is no shortage of help here, no shortage of generosity, and no shortage of random acts of kindness.
Last night I noticed volunteers set up at the entrance of many neighborhoods at night to confront possible looters before they can enter the area. I'll be volunteering tonight for a midnight shift. Seems the least I can do.
