But that northern eye wall, the part that has the 150mileperhour sustained winds, thats only ten miles offshore right now. Thats where the destruction takes place, youll see houses get torn apart, trees that are snapped in half. Thats with this band right here. Wherever that travels, over the next six to eight hours, thats where the worst destruction will be. Thats what you dont want your town to go through and thats where everyone is beaumont, lake charles, everyone who evacuated, theyre hoping that doesnt go through their house.

Theres not a lot to destroy in Cameron Parish. But its low country and swampy. Its not going to take a big chunk out of the storm. It
