It's a waiting game now in Orange, water draining slowly

ORANGE, Texas ( FOX 26 Houston) - Residents of Orange and the surrounding area are now playing a waiting game, waiting for the flood waters to recede, waiting for their homes and cars to dry out, waiting to get back to a normal.

TxDot can't confirm when I-10 will open to traffic, it's expected to stay closed through the weekend, and so many folks who headed east for spring break will find their return trip will take several additional hours.
