Re: Ike Landfall: Galveston

Interesting actually to look at that image and see where the structures remain. I wonder how many feet in that is... how much of a mile (fractions) and if the land there has an incline away from the beach.

Homes built on the beach line are not surprisingly washed away but a bit surprised actually so much survived further on the other side.

Am sure they are very damaged either way.

Thanks for the reminder... those of us in Florida (and Texas and Alabama..and...) need to remember.
