It may have been at one time during the height of the surge but is now receding.

There is Galveston and also specifically Galveston Island.

From what it looked like, I guess the HOTEL where the reporters stayed is on an old fort, which I imagine in those days they were smart enough to build on high ground.

City vehicles were moved there so that Police/Fire/etc could be dispatched from there this morning...

I do believe reports of Galveston Island being under water...

“wow those are great however does not show that Galveston is 2-4 feet under water like reports say.”

According to the buoys and other stations near Galveston that I’ve looked at, the water has already receded 7-9 ft from the max surge levels.

The pictures we’re seeing now don’t have much to do with what it looked like in the middle of the night - six hours ago.
