We move everything out of my sisters house and father home. We save very little , mostly family photos on the walls and we dried a few photo albums. Its really hard. I heard 80% of the beaumont area has electricty. When we were there yesterday there were actually a few restuarants open. We gutted two houses and retreived a few items from two trailors. Mounds of my familys life sitting out for garbage.  My father broke down several times. I know it's hard but it puts it in perspective as we drove by the Bridge City bridges and search and rescue was searching for bodies in the marsh area. It was not my family that the canine rescue unit was searching for. It was not my entire family found in an attic on Fernwood in Bridge City. I am STILL blessed......Hurricane Ike did not take my family. Only stuff that can be replaced! God Bless your family and keep them in his hands. I'll pray for you! Pam K |
God Bless you Pam. My brother was among those in Bridge City on 1442 to lose everything. Most of the water has receeded and friends have helped him gut his house. Him and his wife and the dog are there sleeping on a mattress on the floor..not because they have no place to go but because of the looters! People are putting things they are trying to save on the front lawn to dry and other people are just driving up and helping themselves. My brothers home is way off the road and they had all their antiques in front drying, a man actually drove up to the house and was asking if could have certain things they had sitting out there. My brother lives on the bayou and doesn't call 911, he will stay there and protect what might be left. Stories of the looting, especially in BC are just awful. One would wonder what is left to steal. best of luck to you and your family. Please keep us up to date on your situation. I will be praying for you all. This isn't an ending..it can be a new beginning. Tie your panties in a knot and do what you gotta do..you can do it.. you're from Texas.
