Prayers up for everyone in the storm’s path. It seems that many didn’t evacuate. It’s hard to know what we’ll be seeing when the sun comes up.

Amen.

and I know now is not the time for politics, but the cynic in me dreads the coverage of aftermath and politicos/media blaming Perry/Bush/McCain/Palin for every bump that happens in the aftermath.

KHOU or ABC13 had this quite awhile back. They said over 50% in that report and that dad was burned mostly in the face from going upstairs to rescue her. Both were listed in critical condition. Transformer blew and the place went up like a tinderbox.

Thanks. I wonder what the hell happened?

Who is eating dinner with a 4 year old in a restaurant in a hurricane at 3 AM?

Employees that remained in the building to watch for looters and other trouble. Per the owner's son, they were there to "keep an eye on things."

They went there to weather the storm, and to protect the restaurant. It was the owner and a friend and daughter. (Fox spoke with owner’s son on phone.)

Maybe they sought shelter there? (It could be that they lived closer to Galveston and maybe they were employed there or maybe it was the owner and his child.)

There was a 3rd person who did get out but I heard they made it out ok. The building is a 2 story building. It could be that they lived on the top floor?

Lot’s of legit possibilities of why they may have been in the building.

He’s on live now - reporting on the back eye-wall... A few minutes ago he was outdoors, but has now moved indoors because of high winds and blowing debris....

Saying this could be the worst phase of the storm, where he is....
