The video of the the Galveston seawall looks pretty ominous. It looks like the seawall is at gulf level when actually it's normally about a 16' dropoff.

At 4am it was 105mph and at 10am it was still 105mph, so we've decided to stay. The only reason we left for Rita was that it was Cat 5 aimed right at us. I'm not worried about the storm surge and winds should only be about 80mph at our house. Losing power won't be much fun though, but we have plenty of beer (and water & food) and we're in contact with other neighbors that have stayed.
