Thanks for checking in with your local report from Galveston. Are they making good progress removing the debris?

“Debris”

Currently it’s all just shoved aside as you would see with snow plows. However, we’re talking 10’ piles of sand, fishing boats, lawn chairs, peoples’ decks, anything and everything in big heaps on either side of the road.

Speaking of debris fields, I noted that around houses where I went, (West End), it was all piled up on the north side of structures. So, our surge came from the bay, not the Gulf.

Also, the further north you go in residential areas, the greater the damage. One exception is houses right on the Gulf side beach, which are no longer there or now in the water. Third row and back tend to be fine.

I’ll post more later, but I’m back, and all is pretty ship-shape around here in my world. Just checking in.
