Maybe that was it. I think it was Crystal Beach, but couldn’t remember the name because it wasn’t a place I’d heard of before. Definitely one of those places which was flooded early.
The story here (if I weren’t so lazy I’d find it & link it) was that there was a large group of people on one building, and maybe 3 on a building across the street from them.
It seems to me that it started flooding sooner than a lot of people expected. I know that I turned on the TV briefly at lunchtime yesterday & saw Seaside Beach already with water in the streets. Is it possible that some people planned to leave at the last minute but waited too long?
There are only two routes out of Crystal Beach. Either west into Galveston via the ferry which I’m sure shut down because of winds, etc. The second is toward the east to 124 and then north to Winnie, Tx. At the north turn the roadway always becomes impassable because of rising water. I suspect that maybe the point to which the planned to use but got caught due to quicker than expected rising water...
