Second Hand Ike Storm Stories:
1. Port Aransas - We had 4 feet of water in the house at the peak. Had to wade out to the dock to check on the boats, and all okay. Lots to do to clean this mess up. Corpus had 20 foot waves on Friday. Haven't seen that in years. We were a long way from where Ike hit land, so this was really a shocker for us.
2. Galveston -- My house was in the middle of the island. We don't know if it's destroyed, but we think it's just the first floor that was lost underwater. People are saying that most of the homes on our street were flooded, but are still standing. We are in SA now trying to get back; we heard that the G bridge has re-opened. UTMB is operational, but limited. I lost my car and motorcycle for sure, and most of my personal stuff was moved up the the second floor expecting this. Not sure what we will find when we get there... it's really sad, but I don't know what Galveston will be like when we get back. Don't know how the island can recover from this.
