That is NOT good news. 11 Mile Road is just NE of the most likely spots for breaching, and at the same time, just NE of the population centers of West Galveston island.
Any word on what’s stopping SAR teams?
Breach, sand, or debris, it can’t be a positive sign.
They were not specific on what was stopping them from getting further west in their recovery expedition; maybe purposefully so. The fact that so many of them are not saying anything about the west end of the island, not a mention (that I have heard so far) of phone calls from folks that way asking for rescue, etc., is not reassuring, IMO. Still praying for those who ignored the multiple warnings to leave...
