BREAKING: Jefferson County Judge Jeff Branick is ordering Gilbert Lake Estates to evacuate due to concerns that Green Pond Levee could break. The only way out is by boat. If you can assist, Jefferson Co. is asking for your help.

As in the days of Noah.

It doesn't look like the storm is moving at all.

Sure hope and pray Goofy for God and her family are okay!

Yes, models show it! It can even double from now!

It’s not raining and no water standing outside of Galveston. The clouds are still dark and heavy. Might rain soon.
