Coastal Counties Evacuating

Southeastern parts of Houston are now under a mandatory evacuation as of Thursday morning. These include the following people living in these zip codes: 77058, 77059, 77062, 77520, 77546, 77574, 77586, 77598. Since many of us have friends and family in Houston, make sure they are ready for this hurricane.

Also, Jefferson and Orange counties, which is the Beaumont area, has also issued mandatory evacuations this morning. This will directly effect us here in East Texas, since these folks will be heading north towards Lufkin and Nacogdoches.
