For the lady who lives in Bridge City. I was able to go into Bridge City yesterday and it looked pretty bad. I live off of 1442 just before the intersection at HWY 73/87 and I had at least 3 feet of water in my house. Hope you have better luck.

I drove through Mauriceville today. Market Basket and others on Hwy 62 have power, but were not open.

The curfews are still in effect for all areas. Power has been restored to some parts of Orange. I was told today that Mauriceville is expecting electricity within the next day or two (don't know how true that is).

Please Post an answer: Does this extend to all areas of Orange County, or may those in areas of less damage north of I-10 (Mauriceville, Little Cypress, Deweyville, Etc.)return without restriction?
