Wow- I read about this one upthread but just now watched the video called “Crystal Beach is gone”...one fellow said Gilchrist is decimated- flattened.

pretty stark stuff.

We rented a house on Crystal Beach several years ago. All the houses were wooden and up on stilts. I wouldn't have felt safe there in a strong thunderstorm, much less a hurricane!

Thanks! I'm able to view some of those videos. I can see streaming at "home," just not at work. It's nighttime now, so I'm watching...some of this is so sad.

And even though I know Houston is pretty beaten up right now, all this footage makes me a little homesick. ;-)

Some really gorgeous historic buildings
on Galveston Island .. hope they’re not
all lost.
