It has become a dangerous situation along the Southeast Texas Coast. The National Weather Service is now predicting a 20 foot storm surge.

Such a surge would breach the levee system that protects Mid and South Jefferson County. Other coastal areas like Bridge City would also be impacted.

The situation is so serious, Groves Police and Firefighters are driving through neighborhoods using their public address systems to warn people to get out as soon as possible.

Chief Meterologist Greg Bostwick is urging people who live south of Interstate 10 to make plans to leave as soon as possisble.
