here is the backside of the last standing house - you can see the Rollover Pass canal (gulf side of the canal) in the right hand corner of the picture (the gulf side is on the left corner of the picture - the house front faces towards the west to Galveston Island)

Here is a very early picture of the Rollover Pass Bridge before the water went down (the bridge is barely noticable but it is behind the 2 yellow poles on the plane) you are looking out towards the gulf in this picture. The last house standing would be to the left and is just out view in this picture. You can see the canal wall tops just barely in the photo also. There was at least one group of people that actually walked through here trying to make it to higher ground during the thick of it. They ended up at High Island which is to the left and few miles away.
