it’s like Ike is over in the national news.

There's no functional equivalent of Bourbon Street in Galveston. Why would Shep Smith and Anderson Cooper want to stay in a hot, humid, mosquito-covered place with no electricity and water and no functioning restaurants?

To: NautiNurse; y'all

I took some pictures, but they’re the same thing you see elsewhere; yachts on the freeway, cows on the road, boats on stairs, boats capsized/sunk, sign posts bent 90 degrees. Mud and grass/mush absolutely everywhere.

Other stuff is only meaningful to locals; The Captain’s Table is destroyed, Woody’s had minor damage, the Riviera now stands over water, the Bowl House made it... again.

61st pier is gone, the other one, by the bungee chair is... well, you gotta see that thing.
