Re: Category 5 Hurricane Rtia Moves Westward in the Gulf

Galveston could still be in big trouble - City is only 10 feet above sea level and very flat - Cat 2-3 wind and waves could overwash the entire island

Then if Galveston bay is on E side of storm more water could be pushed up into Houston as the Bay narrows
