"Emergency officials in one East Texas county issued a stark warning to residents as the remnants of Hurricane Harvey doubled back toward land and dumped more rain on communities near the Texas-Louisiana state line.
The Facebook post from Tyler County Emergency Management warned residents of imminent and dangerous flooding.
"River levels will rise to near seventy nine feet. With additional rain fall accumulations, a potential elevation could reach near eighty two feet," the message said before ordering residents to leave the area.
"Anyone who chooses to not heed this directive cannont expect to be rescued and should write their social security numbers in permanent marker on their arm so their bodies can be identified. The loss of life and property is certain.
The message concluded, "GET OUT OR DIE!""
