Kemah
Galveston
Is there anything at all about what the condition of the Boardwalk is?
Any condition of the piers in Galveston? That hotel?
Interstate 45 southbound lanes from Houston appears completely destroyed leading into Galveston. 12:01 PM
Southbound I-45 lanes appear destroyed
Men walk on a flooded I-10 in downtown Houston after Ike on Saturiday Sept. 13, 2008.
Your Kemah image probably shows highway 146. If so, both good and bad news.
Bad news, that highway runs alongside a RR tracks, with near constant elevation from Texas City to north of Seabrook. The image confirms water over 146, which indicates pretty deep surge at Texas City and points west, possibly into LeMarque.
Heavily populated area, and all that debris came from what used to be buildings.
Good news, that image shows a low spot and the debris pile is finite in the distance. A few feet less surge there makes a huge difference for the above mentioned areas.
Fingers crossed.
