Port Arthur Levee System Holds; Ike Causes Damage, Power Outages in SETX

September 13, 2008 - 5:02AM
Scott Lawrence
Law enforcement officers and utility executives say it's too early to gauge the full extent of Hurricane Ike's impact on Southeast Texas, but Greg Bostwick says the levee system in Port Arthur held and the water level began falling at about 4 a.m.

The level rose to more than 11 feet in Port Arthur. The lowest point of the levee is about 14 1/2 feet.

The Sabine Pass tide was 14.24 feet. The levels began receding at about 4 a.m.

With that type of tide, storm surge damage can be expected.

There are also reports of flooding in the Bridge City area, but until daylight, the extent of the flooding won't be known.

We have received reports of damage from viewers across the area, including some reports of tree and wind damage to homes.

Entergy Texas reports about 175,000 customers without power in its service area. Those numbers are expected to rise.

You can call 1-800-9Outage to report a power outage.
