WHAT SCIGUY SAYS: Jog to east was critical

THE fact that Galveston Island has a future today can be attributed to a final landfall by Hurricane Ike just east of forecasters’ projections.

Instead of coming ashore across the island’s west end or even Jamaica Beach, Ike came in directly over the east end of Galveston. This brought the storm’s maximum surge to bear on Bolivar Peninsula — completely drowned for a time — and a long stretch of the upper Texas coast.

That’s not to say Galveston got off lightly. Damage will easily reach into the double digit billions, and the death toll, still unknown, may very well rise to a high level. It will be a long time before Galveston Island returns to business as usual.
