HArdly several feet. HE was standing in a parking lot with water below his knees and the areas behind him which were higher were "dry" with no standing water. I think he went find a big puddle to stand in. You coulds still see the grass on the ground above him.

H. Rivera (sp?) was also in Port Arthur, but I haven't heard him interviewed or any mention of him since around 11:00 last night. Very curious. Guess we'll know soon about that city.
