They are forecasting a 15-20 ft storm surge for Ike. At 16 ft, Galveston is completely flooded. At 17 ft, the seawall is completely topped over. This is all before you take into account the waves that could be 8 – 12 feet higher than the surge.

Stay safe. Any chance you can put up a map of your approximate position?

God luck James. I for one won’t be moaning about the UK weather again!

Hang tight, stay safe and catch you on the flipside.

Stay safe JK. I have lots of family in the Pasadena area and hoping everything turns out okay.

It’s incredible the scope of this. The Galveston warning to residents was, essentially, evacuate or face certain death.
