We usually head to Galveston every other summer or so with another family and rent a house at the beach for a week. We didn't do it this summer, I'm wondering if we'll do it next summer.
I saw this picture online this morning. See where it says "tattoo" in the upper left corner of the picture? Yeah. That's where I got both of my tattoos. At least it appears that it is still standing. All of the debris is from the little shops (and the Hooters) that were built across the street on the sea side of the sea wall, aka the WRONG side of the sea wall.
I've been looking for pictures of the west end of the island which is past the end of the sea wall and is where we usually rent houses.
Galveston is no Florida white sandy beach. You can't really see your feet if you're standing in two feet of water. But I love taking our kids there with our best friends and their kids. It makes me sad to see this. But, Galveston will resurrect itself. And it will be like it was before. I have no doubt about that.

It is sad. I've only been to Galveston once, a friend and I drove down to TX over spring break in college. We stayed in Galveston one night. Rode the bike thingies on the seawall (stay away from the ledge!).
Mr I said that only six blocks were not flooded - apparently the island flooded from the backside as well - he's been watching his hometown intently since Friday...
