One of my real concerns is for places like Sabine Pass who have an illusion of safety. Flooding is widespread.
It may be more historic and mesmerizing on the live feeds on the front page (which I was watching at work) but it is going to happen in places without the press there to show and local agencies really have to get out the word in their towns.

Would be nice for some old timers from these places to post info if they have any... picture from Galveston downtown helped.

Water rides far in advance of the storm in this area... not something that happens as much in South Florida.

The way the beach and the sea slope off shore is a big issue in Galveston and that part of the world.
