Sgt. Ken Carona of the Port Arthur Emergency Management Division advises that emergency transportation out of the City of Port Arthur will cease at 12:00 p.m. today. This is due to the anticipated arrival of tropical storm force winds shortly thereafter.

Port Arthur residents who need transportation to a safer shelter should make their way to the Bob Bowers Civic Center NOW. DO NOT WAIT!

Port Arthur Officers advise that they have 6 residents in Sabine Pass who refuse to leave. Just minutes ago, Port Arthur Officers in high water vehicles advised that Sabine Pass was now impassable.

Again, if you plan to evacuate using the emergency transportation buses, you need to get to the Bob Bowers Civic Center now.
