TX MEMBERS: Open route to Port Arthur

Port Arthur got slammed, we've got rescue boats en route, they will be rolling through Shreveport in the next two or three hours. We need to help them get to Port Arthur, I'm not sure what's open on the Texas side.

We've got a website, however boats are reporting that it is not reliable. Any assistance with this will be greatly appreciated!!

    Just called my niece. Hopefully, she'll get back to me soon. She just made a run to Shreveport and back Beaumont way. When I hear from her, I'll pass the word here.
    What's next?

    Thanks Kimi, I was just told they rerouted, and are now headed south on I49.

    Regrettably, she has not gotten back to me. Sometimes she is late in responding. Sorry.

    Thanks for trying and we can still use any information, I found a boaters channel on zello and they provide directions. BoatersPATX is the channel.

    A guy I know is over there now running a boat.

    Rally Point

    Memorial Baptist Church

    4011 Memorial Blvd, Port Arthur, TX 77640

    Staging Area

    Walmart

    Zello Channel: "Port Arthur Rescue" and "BoatersPATX"


    I-10 heading East towards Beaumont is CLOSED, please use Highway 90 with at least a stock height truck

    If you do not have a boat or 4 wheel drive you will be turned around at Liberty, Texas

    Yes, I 10 is closed in Louisiana at mm4.
    However, you can get past that point if you have damn good reason for doing so.
    They are staging up rescue groups like yours at the DOT scale, at mm 1 in Louisiana.
