Someone posted this as being an Ike pic which I've never seen in response to a guy who was tying his boat to some palm trees in FL, riding it out.

I thought it a hoax until I realized it does look like the beginning of the bridge, and the truck wears it's insp/dps pics like we do (did) in TX, even though I can't make out the plates.

It was IKE ....that picture does not really show how many boats there were

My kid was in Galveston and had four feet of water

It is the storm surge that does the damage

The Bolivar peninsula was wiped clean

It took two weeks to get back to his house

Just heard that guy interviewed on local news here...Dave is his name. He’s so nonchalant it’s mindboggling. He’s got a 40ft boat tied at dock and secured to a couple of freakin palm trees. The storm surge there will be around 10 feet...

all you gotta do is look at photos of the Hugo aftermath to see what a hurricane can do to boats. we saw the bit on the news about some guys riding it out on the St. Johns river. crazy people!
