We're gonna head over to Cameron Parish now where hundreds of people are making plans to get out ahead of the storm's path. Like we said, that area is now under a mandatory evacuation order, meaning folks who choose to stay behind won't be able to get emergency services. 12 news reporter Kyle Orr was in Cameron today visiting an area that was hard hit. Four years ago, Cameron residents like Anchors up grill owner Trey Smith say that the mandatory evacuation order took them by surprise, forcing them to act fast before Francine makes landfall. We're scrambling trying to do everything we can to get everything packed up and loaded up. I'm not going to be able to get it all today. This concrete slab was once home to Trey Smith's Anchors up grill before it was destroyed by hurricane Laura 2020 for six years. I had a building and I lost it. We also lost our house, still not able to move back. Four years later, I'm still living in Lake Charles, driving back and forth every day for Smith and other Cameron Parish residents. This is Deja Vu. We've been beaten down too much. I can't take another one. We, we really can't. Our town can't, we haven't even recovered from the last one yet. People like Ruben doxy are preparing for the worst plans just to go eat supper and wake up tomorrow and see what the weather's gonna be like. And I left early one time and couldn't come back in and lost everything I had. So that's not gonna happen again. When tropical storm force winds hit land, there will be no emergency services. We don't want them risking their lives to come out and save you because you didn't get out ahead of time. Ashley Buller is the assistant director of the Cameron Office of Emergency preparedness. She says the mandatory evacuation is the safest option. They're predicting anywhere from a 5 to 10 ft storm surge right now. So we don't want any of our residents down here when that water comes in. Meanwhile, Smith says Anchors up grill will be serving up last minute meals up until Francine makes landfall. People's gonna be down and they're going to need somewhere to eat, try to get their stuff out, pray for the best. That's all I can say. Cameron parish officials are urging residents to heed their warning and evacuate tomorrow ahead of Wednesday's expected landfall in Cameron Parish, Kyle Orr 12
