I lived at 65th and heard's lane(Galveston) durring alicia, wasn't too bad 'till the plywood I used to board up got torn off.
My two story condo faced the tennis courts and the lights were pointed straight at my patio doors. The condo was flooded from blowing rain but that's about it. All the carports on either side of my car collaped, mine was the only section left standing.
The worst part was the constant, rythmic, pounding wind. Plus, my sister from Midland was visiting and she was freaking out the whole time. I came close to knocking her out.
