Re: Surge


Local news (KHOU) is reporting that the storm surge is up to the top of the Galveston Seawall -- about 15-17 feet high. Earlier today, Galveston-area residents were saying that it was already higher than Carla or Alicia.... One family interviewed was planning on staying, and had bought life jackets...

Here in far west Houston, we're getting strong gusts, but still within TS strength... rain just started... we still have power and no apparent damage.
