Evidence of Thursday's flooding could be seen across Angelina County Friday morning, while some areas remained under water.

Assistant City Manager and Emergency Management Coordinator Keith Wright said he feels the city handled the flooding event well.

"I think our emergency crews responded well to every need identified," Wright said.

Wright said the city will evaluate the areas that flooded to make sure proper infrastructure is in place.

"We will be doing an evaluation of all the sites and structures that did flood. It appears though that the drainage channels were full — there's not much you can do about that," he said. "No amount of money spent can stop that from happening."

Ten people were evacuated from Hidden Oaks II apartment complex and housed at First Church of the Nazarene overnight, Wright said.

It appears that no fatalities occurred overnight as a result of the flooding, according to Lufkin Police.

"At one point we had to shut down Loop 287 between Sayers Street and the zoo," Lufkin Police spokesman Lt. David Young said. "We responded to dozens of reports of flooded roadways and stalled vehicles caught up on those roadways Thursday evening and night."

Such calls kept tow truck drivers busy, according to Atkinson Automotive Towing and Recovery Service owner Midge Ferguson.

"This kind of weather keeps us extremely busy," Ferguson said. "My husband James was out all night working until the early morning hours. He responded to half a dozen calls yesterday. Our busiest times are usually from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. though."

There is no rain in Angelina County's forecast for the next seven days, according to the National Weather Service. The NWS reported that four to eight inches of rain fell across Angelina County Thursday.
