Yup.. My great-grandmother and lots of great-aunts/uncles and cousins live 
there.  My great uncle is the Mayor, so he had to stay close to home and 
help start getting things back together.

I was born in beaumont and live here in Silsbee until like 5th grade when we 
moved to Waco, so this hit close in so many ways.  Luckily all the family 
was okay and the worst things to happen were a tree fell on my great-aunt's 
garage (with car inside) and my great-uncle's house lost half its roof .. 
but everyone is okay, including my 98 yo grandma.
