Default Harvey and Port of Houston

With tropical storm Harvey hitting the Houston area, I haven't seen any reports about the cars Audi has at the port. I was extremely lucky and my car left the port 2 weeks ago, but I can't imagine the anxiety someone might have if their car was currently in port waiting to be picked up. Has anyone here heard anything about the status of the port as it relates to the Audi facility?

I heard on the Weather Channel that some residents were parking their cars at the port, tens of thousands of cars and then it all flooded, very bad situation. Plus, they still have 15 to 20 inches more rain coming, god help these people. I don't believe any freight will come thru the Houston port for weeks or months!

FYI - my 2108 S3 sat in Houston port during Harvey. It was just released to carrier (truck transport) yesterday (9/8) with a dealer ETA of 9/17. I haven't seen the car yet but dealer informs me they must disclose damage/repair and states there was none. I will do what I can to conform that prior to accepting the car. Anyone have suggestions on how best to confirm this?
