Thanks. I wonder what the hell happened?
Who is eating dinner with a 4 year old in a restaurant in a hurricane at 3 AM?
Employees that remained in the building to watch for looters and other trouble. Per the owner's son, they were there to "keep an eye on things."
They went there to weather the storm, and to protect the restaurant. It was the owner and a friend and daughter. (Fox spoke with owner’s son on phone.)
Maybe they sought shelter there? (It could be that they lived closer to Galveston and maybe they were employed there or maybe it was the owner and his child.)
There was a 3rd person who did get out but I heard they made it out ok. The building is a 2 story building. It could be that they lived on the top floor?
Lot’s of legit possibilities of why they may have been in the building.
