Ike Destruction
Went for a drive yesterday with some friends. Just around my area about 30 miles north of Galveston.

K, now I see it.
Some people still had some humor. Saw signs that said "Yard of the month" on a few lots. Pretty funny.  This house was blown across the road!   This is a pretty common sight. The wind just gutted houses.  Again:  And the Hilton you heard about getting torn to pieces on the news. This has to be a 50 ft sailboat just sitting right next to it.

Looks like everything is drying out rather well...? No standing floodwater?

I'm back with power for the first time in 8 days thanks to Ike . Not much damage other than two large tree limbs took out phone/power/fence and landed on neighbors house . Also lost power to A/C on power up , hope it's just a breaker .
Really surprised at how little rain Ike brought , mostly high wind . We've had power crews from many states helping get the power back on . I know our own crews were headed to Texas but were recalled because of problems here . Hope all Pelicans are weathering the storm . SxS
