Galveston getting pounded. Cantore and Geraldo both off the air til the eye passes. Wind gusts of 120 mph. Does not bode well for downtown Houston. They say the winds up at 200' in the air are about 140 mph. Lots of tall buildings downtown.
I am watching Gerlado now. I swear I don't know what to think.

I am exhausted, but can't get away from the TV. We found Houston's Channel 11 on my Direct TV. Luckily, PawPaw has gone to bed.

Yeah, they're crazy. But I have to say, if I were about 20 years younger, I might be tempted to do the same thing. It's so facinating to me. Wait.....what am I saying? I HATE WIND!

...thanks, I did. It was surreal pulling myself away from the TV reports and going to bed. I was thinking.."how can I go to bed when the worst is about to happen!" My sister called and woke me up this morning and they are good so far.CHUNKS are falling off the Bank of America building and all the windows blown out in downtown Houston!
Brennan's Restaurant burned down...three people (ne, an employee) were inside and either died or were badly burned.
I remember Katrina and all the fires in the midst of water...mind boggling. Many fires in Galveston. One report says The Strand has 7-8 feet of water. That is the downtown historic district. I can't imagine how many people are either in their attics or drowned...reports were that 20,000 Galvestonians stayed behind.
