it was a helluva of mess .. i had booked a couple nights in galveston ... ended up staying well inland ... had to scramble for lodging with most already taken up with out of town power crews and displaced locals. i had lived in houston area for a number of years, even lost a boat in alicia in ‘83, and had never seen it as bad as from ike.
