Even the shelters are flooding.
The catastrophic downpours in Port Arthur, Texas, have been so severe that a major shelter is becoming submerged — with shocking images showing waterlogged cots and evacuees cowering in the bleachers.
The photos by Beulah Johnson capture the nightmarish conditions at the Bowers Civic Center, which was inundated overnight, leaving the displaced residents wondering where they would end up next.
Some people were being moved to the Carl A. Parker Multipurpose Center.
A woman who shot video inside the cavernous Bowers center said she also saw a snake in the water,KXAN-TV reported.
The city, about 90 miles east of Houston, was slammed with around 40 inches of rain, and flash-flood emergencies also have been issued there and in Beaumont, KFDM-TV reported.
Jefferson County Sheriff Zena Stephens said rescuers couldn’t reach Port Arthur due to the flooding, adding that some residents have gone into “survival mode,” CBS News reported.
“We’re getting 911 and rescue calls, but there’s nothing we can do,” Stephens told KFDM. “We can’t take the boats out right now. The water is rising, and it’s coming there, and it’s no way to get to them.”
Port Arthur Mayor Derrick Freeman said some 20,000 homes had water in them — virtually all the homes in the city.
