Galveston

 The Flagship hotel was damaged but still there, two other old, famous
structures that extended out over the gulf, the Balanize Room for one
are gone. Pictures this morning showed a wall of debris on Seawall Blvd.
that was once this structure. Boliver, which is on the eastside of
Galveston, a ferry ride away is 90% gone.

photos of Galveston, wishing I had taken even more, and can't imagine
the storm surge and flooding destroying all I observed and admired in
that tough community.  Good luck, Jim, stay safe, then report to us
what's happening down there.
So far everyone is hunkered down at home, house boarded up.
Generator works. Jim's house is SW of Houston on they say high ground.
Pretty amazing news coming in from Galveston for sure.
