I believe the absence of dunes after a storm like this complicates any rebuilding permits, there’s some special rules about it all.
This has to be very hard on the young men/women in national guard many of whom are in ages of 18-20
They grow up fast in the military
Going to bed soon. Tomorrow will be at a Palin/McCain rally in Vienna Ohio(near Youngstown/Warren area)
thanks to all for the informative posts. I love graphics (sad ones here) and REALLY love maps.. so was busy checking out all your contributions.
Thanks again to Nauti.. you are really appreciated.
A lot of people in NE Ohio (just under million households) still w/0 power. I was lucky it was just 15 hours here
Good night everyone
Doesn’t even look like any of
the exposed windows smashed in.

TANKS,Star,,,
I think the mobile homes are in what some are callin’ the “lower end”(?) on the blogs...
Cropped, it almost looks like a doll house sitting there.
Did you click on the little picture. They have San Leon marked as Boliva Penn (sp) (isn’t San Leon by Texas City?)
LOL,,,Na’,,,Cut da’ boy some slack,,,
He’ll have a tale to tell Fo’Sho!...;0)
That will be interesting to learn.

There are folks hanging in there today
in Galveston. Don’t imagine they’ll be
able to stay there much longer.

Ike’s Aftermath
GALVESTON, Texas (CNN) — As Galveston’s leaders on Monday repeatedly urged its residents to stay away, people who never left tried to make the best of their muggy, tree-strewn, powerless city.

Could this be info on this house?
The most successful project implemented by the Government to protect and enhance the Texas Coastline is on the Bolivar Peninsula in the Rollover Pass area in Gilchrist.
Already new resort developments are being constructed, including Audubon Village.
The homes there are hurricane resistant and are built in a factory in Gilchrist.

The stories of the people in
old trailers/mobile homes who
survived are simply incredible.
Well if so, the only one coming out of the hurricane proof home factory that was not a “lemon”, just happened to maybe be the only sided in lemon yellow siding.
He was in a stone house, second floor, so he’ll have a good story to tell.
I see San Leon here on this map,
which finally gives me some
directional/location reference.

Note the zone stops at the far
west end .. so that area seems
to apparently be OK.
Well if so, the only one coming out of the hurricane proof home factory that was not a “lemon”, just happened to maybe be the only ONE sided in lemon yellow siding.
San Leon is marked wrong on that map. San Leon is by Texas City which is above Galveston Island (Google Maps has San Leon to the west of Texas City along the bay shore)
This is a house that was billed to be Hurricane-resistant in Gilchrist.
Didn't see it in any of the what's-left-standing photos.
