We are driving up to Port Lavaca right now and we are dealing with some unbelievable stuff.
|
|
First of all, flooding everywhere.
|
|
Streetlights down everywhere.
|
|
This is going to be an interesting one for us.
|
|
In fact, I'm not sure how we're gonna get around this to be honest with you.
|
|
Maybe we can go over here and through there.
|
|
Again folks, we're probably...
|
|
Ten miles south of Port Lavaca right now.
|

|
|
We're making our way towards Houston.
|
|
Don't expect any reports from Houston.
|
|
Our plan isn't to finish in Houston.
|
|
We will be...
|
|
I think we will be reporting from Houston tomorrow, but right now we're trying to figure out how to manage this intersection.
|
|
Yeah, so it looks like we got to go around here.
|
|
We've seen a few other people on the road.
|
|
Nothing but really trucks on the road.
|
|
So we do know that people...
|
|
Are getting through this somehow, but it looks like we're gonna have to drive around this.
|
|
As you can see, this truck drove through here.
|
|
Yeah, watch out because there's also a street light in the middle of the road just dangling.
|
|
Very dangerous stuff right now that we're dealing with here.
|
|
And we're, you know, driving on the road.
|
|
We're trying to look at everything on the road that we could potentially be running over as to not get a flat.
|
|
There's a lot of thin wires that are dangling in the middle of the road.
|
|
It's tough to see until you get really close to them.
|
|
So there's just all kinds of stuff that we're dealing with right now.
|
|
You can see that this power line just snapped and is now sitting in the middle of the road.
|
|
I mean, this is just some wild stuff.
|
|
They're gonna need some serious cleanup crews here as soon as possible.
|
|
To take care of all of this debris, but mainly these dangling power lines that are really just dangling for miles.
|
|
Here's one that's just dead in the water, just sitting here floating in the water.
|
|
Hopefully we don't get electrocuted.
|
|
No, it's fine.
|
|
Most of these things have already blown up and probably are no longer receiving any electricity, but there's gonna have to be some serious cleanup.
|
|
We've seen some houses that are just completely devastated in this area as well.
|
|
Maybe you can see that house right there.
|
|
Our car is kind of getting a little foggy with the windows and everything, but just absolute devastation.
|
|
Again, probably 10 to 15 miles south of Port Lavaca and just documenting all of the devastation as we move along the coastline of Texas.
|
|
It does appear, oh my, look at that gas station.
|
|
The roof just completely torn apart.
|
|
It does appear we have some sort of a crew here.
|
|
Have you hit the windshield?
|
|
It appears that we have some sort of a crew out here.
|
|
I'm not sure exactly what they're doing.
|
|
We've got some serious flooding right here.
|
|
It looks like this church is totally flooded.
|
|
Maybe that's what they're out here dealing with, is this church.
|
|
There are some people out here addressing the issues.
|
|
Here's a First Lutheran Church just totally flooded.
|
|
So those are probably maybe some clergymen that are there trying to make sure that that church is okay and doing whatever they need to do.
|
|
Here's another dangling electric wire just dangling here.
|
|
I was told that apparently the hurricane now has been dropped down to a tropical storm.
|
|
So apparently the intensity has worn off, but the devastating effects, folks, well, we're just documenting them for you here.
|
|
I mean, over here, a neighborhood just completely devastated.
|
|
And that's pretty much been the case, folks.
|
|
You know, we've been driving down the coastline here for a couple hours, and it's just the same thing.
|
|
I mean, look at this.
|
|
This is what we're dealing with.
|
|
All we have to do.
|
|
I mean, we could be filming the entire time, and this is all we see.
|
|
I mean, just flooded roads, flooding all over the place, wires down in the middle of the road, you know, telephone wires, telephone, you know.
|
|
Whole poles being suspended, traffic lights suspended by wires, just absolute flooding everywhere.
|
|
That house is now on an island, so now they have their own private island thanks to all the flooding.
|
|
But no joke, the devastation is real, and we're just documenting it all right now as we drive down the coast of Texas.
|
|
Owen Troyer, Harrison Smith for InfoWars.com.
|
|
We're going to continue to document this for you.
|
|
So that you can see just the devastation that came from this hurricane.
|
|
So far I'm not hearing about many fatalities or casualties.
|
|
That is an absolute blessing that that is the case.
