Twenty four at a time here inHouston's Morning News. Well, as of
yesterday, I owned the beach homein Brazoria County, right around San Louis
Pass. I hope it's still therethis morning. I don't know if our
next guest knows the answer to thatquestion or not. Brissori County Judge Matt's
the best to welcome to the show. A lot of a lot of folks
taking a lot of a lot ofhits down in that area, aren't they?
(00:21):
They are? But I can tellyou a tree probably did not fall
on your beach house Treasure Island.Okay, Well, we did have reports
that maybe, and it was officialthrough the National Hurricane Center that there was
a tornado touching down Jamaica Beach,Jamaica Beach. Any out any knowledge about
that? Well, that's a littlebit out of my territory. You'd have
(00:41):
to talk to Judge Mark Henry overthere in Galveston call that one. But
no, we we still got somedicey weathered winds, blowing rain pretty hard.
Uh No, we've got uh,probably a lot of trees down throughout
the camp. We've got a lotin so shortly we can do a little
(01:02):
bit better job of assessing exactly whatwe're gonna deal with. Yeah, what
what are you thinking? As faras road closures are there? What areas
at this point in Brazoria are justimpassable? I have not heard of any,
and hopefully nobody's out there trying topass them. You know, it's
it's it's still dark. Sun's justnow, you know, gonna come up
(01:23):
here shortly, and uh, Iknow outside the window of the EOC here,
I'm not seeing a lot of trafficor any traffic. So hopefully folks
are staying put until Beryl is alittle further inland and the winds go down
and and like I said, wecan start seeing what's going on. But
I know we've got power lines downin places. I had heard got a
(01:44):
report that we had power lines downon Highway thirty six in Brazoria. I
know we've got trees down throughout thecounty, and so I'm sure there are
going to be some roads impassable.But you know, it's with the storm
on top of us, it's hardto get out and do those assessments to
(02:05):
see exactly where we stand. Anyidea how much train you've had, I
do not know I would imagine itis varied across the county, but I
would imagine at least three to four. That's hard. But I really have
not seen any reports on that yet. You know, we saw some stories
Matt that there were a lot ofpeople this is the west end of Galveston,
(02:28):
again not not your territory, butthat they had decided to stay and
sort of write it out. Wasit pretty much the same thing in Bressoorio.
Did a lot of people get outand decide that they didn't want to,
you know, face this thing headto head. I think most people
have decided to stay and write itout. You know, a cat warm
Cat one storm does does get peopleconcerned, but most folks here, at
(02:54):
least the ones that have been herewhile, are going to stay for a
Cat one. I know we hada lot of the visitors that we had
at Surfside that we're down renting forthe weekend. UH probably left, but
but a lot of our locals,I imagine wrote it out. You did
do a mandatory curfew, and Ithink also was that at Surfsider. I
(03:19):
know that you got rid of recreationalvehicles. You were saying no, well,
no, that is that is incorrect. We we have not done We
have not done a curfew at all. There may be some cities that that
may be doing a curfew. Thevillage of Quintana did have a mandatory evacuation
as of yesterday, but that's justa dozen or so people, very very
(03:43):
small village. The village of SurfsideBeach did mandatorily evacuate all r vs as
well as boats and the rental uhpeople that have rental golf cart businesses got
those off the island. We cleanedout the county parks. We have one
on Quintana Island and one on Fallett'sIsland at Saint Louis Pass. They were
(04:06):
all gone yesterday morning, as wellas most of the trailer parks that have
our v's. They were all offthe island. Okay, so you think
emergency. Obviously we're having to dothings in advance. So now what do
you think another two three days oris going to take the better part of
the week to kind of assess andfigure out where you stand. Well,
(04:26):
I think in the next day orso we will kind of know where we
stand. The biggest issue is goingto be Texas, New Mexico and Center
Point assessing where they're at on towerand getting power turned back on. I
know we've been in contact yesterday withboth of those companies. They were going
to have Cruise on standby and assoon as they can safely get out,
(04:49):
those linemen are going to get outand they're going to be busting their ass
to get power back on. YEA, yeah, they will. Well,
you had a brush and we're gladthat it was just that. Yep.
Glad to hear things are generally infairly decent shape. Hopefully the light of
day will not change that assessment.Thank you, sir, appreciate it.
