=== Unbelievable Flooding Ahead (04:32) ===

[00:00:01]  We are driving up to Port Lavaca right now and we are dealing with some unbelievable stuff.
[00:00:08]  First of all, flooding everywhere.
[00:00:11]  Streetlights down everywhere.
[00:00:14]  This is going to be an interesting one for us.
[00:00:17]  In fact, I'm not sure how we're gonna get around this to be honest with you.
[00:00:23]  Maybe we can go over here and through there.
[00:00:26]  Again folks, we're probably...
[00:00:29]  Ten miles south of Port Lavaca right now.
[00:00:32]  Owen Schroyer and Harrison Smith for InfoWars.com.
[00:00:35]  We're making our way towards Houston.
[00:00:39]  Don't expect any reports from Houston.
[00:00:41]  Our plan isn't to finish in Houston.
[00:00:42]  We will be...
[00:00:43]  I think we will be reporting from Houston tomorrow, but right now we're trying to figure out how to manage this intersection.
[00:00:50]  Yeah, so it looks like we got to go around here.
[00:00:52]  We've seen a few other people on the road.
[00:00:54]  Nothing but really trucks on the road.
[00:00:56]  So we do know that people...
[00:00:58]  Are getting through this somehow, but it looks like we're gonna have to drive around this.
[00:01:03]  As you can see, this truck drove through here.
[00:01:07]  Yeah, watch out because there's also a street light in the middle of the road just dangling.
[00:01:11]  Very dangerous stuff right now that we're dealing with here.
[00:01:16]  And we're, you know, driving on the road.
[00:01:18]  We're trying to look at everything on the road that we could potentially be running over as to not get a flat.
[00:01:23]  There's a lot of thin wires that are dangling in the middle of the road.
[00:01:28]  It's tough to see until you get really close to them.
[00:01:31]  So there's just all kinds of stuff that we're dealing with right now.
[00:01:34]  You can see that this power line just snapped and is now sitting in the middle of the road.
[00:01:41]  I mean, this is just some wild stuff.
[00:01:43]  They're gonna need some serious cleanup crews here as soon as possible.
[00:01:49]  To take care of all of this debris, but mainly these dangling power lines that are really just dangling for miles.
[00:01:55]  Here's one that's just dead in the water, just sitting here floating in the water.
[00:01:59]  Hopefully we don't get electrocuted.
[00:02:02]  No, it's fine.
[00:02:03]  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.
[00:02:10]  We've seen some houses that are just completely devastated in this area as well.
[00:02:15]  Maybe you can see that house right there.
[00:02:17]  Our car is kind of getting a little foggy with the windows and everything, but just absolute devastation.
[00:02:23]  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.
[00:02:33]  It does appear, oh my, look at that gas station.
[00:02:37]  The roof just completely torn apart.
[00:02:40]  It does appear we have some sort of a crew here.
[00:02:43]  Have you hit the windshield?
[00:02:44]  It appears that we have some sort of a crew out here.
[00:02:47]  I'm not sure exactly what they're doing.
[00:02:49]  We've got some serious flooding right here.
[00:02:53]  It looks like this church is totally flooded.
[00:02:55]  Maybe that's what they're out here dealing with, is this church.
[00:03:01]  There are some people out here addressing the issues.
[00:03:04]  Here's a First Lutheran Church just totally flooded.
[00:03:06]  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.
[00:03:15]  Here's another dangling electric wire just dangling here.
[00:03:20]  I was told that apparently the hurricane now has been dropped down to a tropical storm.
[00:03:26]  So apparently the intensity has worn off, but the devastating effects, folks, well, we're just documenting them for you here.
[00:03:35]  I mean, over here, a neighborhood just completely devastated.
[00:03:39]  And that's pretty much been the case, folks.
[00:03:41]  You know, we've been driving down the coastline here for a couple hours, and it's just the same thing.
[00:03:46]  I mean, look at this.
[00:03:46]  This is what we're dealing with.
[00:03:48]  All we have to do.
[00:03:49]  I mean, we could be filming the entire time, and this is all we see.
[00:03:52]  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.
[00:04:02]  Whole poles being suspended, traffic lights suspended by wires, just absolute flooding everywhere.
[00:04:09]  That house is now on an island, so now they have their own private island thanks to all the flooding.
[00:04:13]  But no joke, the devastation is real, and we're just documenting it all right now as we drive down the coast of Texas.

=== No Significant Casualties Reported (00:22) ===

[00:04:24]  Owen Troyer, Harrison Smith for InfoWars.com.
[00:04:26]  We're going to continue to document this for you.
[00:04:29]  So that you can see just the devastation that came from this hurricane.
[00:04:33]  So far I'm not hearing about many fatalities or casualties.
[00:04:37]  That is an absolute blessing that that is the case.
