I'm still pretty shocked over Bolivar Peninsula. I was getting pissed off that there was a news blackout on it and that it was declared restricted airspace, and then they give us the Coast Guard video of the tip of the peninsula, meanwhile the Galveston County Judge is declaring that 90% of the peninsula was destroyed.

I understand that the news blackout meant that the media had very little to report on as far as the peninsula, but watching Perry pretend like he didn't know who controlled the air space was pretty ridiculous (he's been Governor for several years, plus he was/is a licensed pilot, he knows exactly who controls the airspace).

I'm pretty concerned about some cousins who lived near there.

Why do you think there was a news blackout? It seems strange to me.

I hope your cousins are safe and sound!

The way Bolivar is being handled is pretty weird. I’ve been reading over at the forums on KHOU and it’s all a mystery.

There’s an interview last night with a Gilchrist Fire Dept official who said Gilchrist is literally gone- nothing left standing- the Rollover Pass Bridge is destroyed...I’m not sure if any of the aerials show part of Bolivar- but is does seem there’s a blackout there.

A judge has issued an order to vacate Bolivar Peninsula (is this the judge you’re talking about?)- which seems an odd thing to do- given it’s already been under a mandatory evac order- why is he NOW issuing this order..what’s really going on over there?
