Re: Ike
 

Glad y'all made it through without any more damage than that. Hope everyone else here was just as lucky!

Re: Ike
 

A buddy of mine lives in Seabrook but was in Vegas when it hit is now driving home since the airports are closed, judging by the water mark of Landry,s on the Kemah waterfront he probably took water all the way up to his attic.

Re: Ike
 

I don't quite understand the people on Galvinston Island who stayed during the storm.

I survived Hurricane Andrew, stayed and experienced the problems afterward. But we didn't have a flood threat.

Galvinston Island was told the Storm would push the water over the entire island.

I would think after the New Orleans incident that people would learn...!

Maybe next time, HUH...

This was my cousin’s beach house in Crystal Beach. I used to live next door when I was a kid. We stayed during Alicia in 83. That was bad enough I couldn't have imagined this. I was out there a less than two months ago. This is just insane!

Oh my!

Re: Ike
 

Is your home still standing?

There was an article that talked about how many homes still standing will be condemned even if they are repairable because the dune line has moved back so far.

Re: Ike
 

Yes sir home intact...we are about 2 miles inland near Kemah / Seabrook. No flooding only minor tree damage. Our damage was minor compared to most. The Kemah Boradwalk was completely flooded...some of the best seafood in the world was served there:crying:


There is an H-2 in the ditch outside our subdivision someone tried to drown...appears to be an insurance job or a Hummer hater :clapping:

A 1959 law known as the Texas Open Beaches Act. Under the law, the strip of beach between the average high-tide line and the average low-tide line is considered public property, and it is illegal to build anything there. Some may lose their homes...without compensation.

Just glad you're safe.
