I think that the exact wording was that, if you stay in a one-family home to ride out the storm, you face certain death... I know at least two people that are still in Galveston, but they live in big apartment buildings.

My stuff is going to be trashed. It's on the west end of the island, near the San Luis Pass, and isn't behind the Seawall. I've essentially given up all hope for everything still in the garage. Maybe, just maybe, the rest of the house will make it...

"The landfall location will probably be very close to Galveston, Texas; on the southwest end of Galveston Island."

That's a bullseye right there...

Jeez, it seems like every year you have to go through this Dru. I'd probably move away if I had to deal with hurricanes every single year

Ehehehehe... Well, that's just another part of life in Galveston. When you live at three feet above sea level in a hurricane zone, not much you can do, ya know... The north gets blizzards, the midwest gets tornadoes, and the Gulf coast gets hurricanes. I love the Gulf, though, and miss it dearly when I'm away.

Good luck! I'll pretend to pray for you (but actually be sending you good wishes, lol)

Man, living on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico sounds like Hell. Every other day, some giant fucking rainstorm comes knocking on your front door to ruin your shit. How the Hell could anybody LIKE that?

I'd say either move, or pester the government to put a giant dome over the city - having to tolerate this shit is insane.

I'm watching the news right now, and I just want to cry. They showed footage of downtown Galveston from this afternoon, and was looking like three feet of water was sitting on the Strand. I can't help but think, "That's one of my favorite antique stores... I bought that old Catwoman comic there..."

It's incredibly personal. I mean, things like this always touch me in one way or another, but I look at the news and know the places they show, and know that I still have close friends there...

I don't know. It's a beautiful place to live, but you know what they say; every rose has it's thorns. I miss it terribly, and it's only made worse by the fact that I know it will be destroyed to some extent before the sun rises... It's brutal.

I haven't been paying much attention to the hurricanes yet this year so I haven't seen what most of them are doing, but from what I've seen it looks like they're going up the East Coast, and when they do that, we usually get them in September.

You called it right on the nose XD its been cool and rainy/cloudy all week lol
