Here are pictures from just a short time ago from atop the sea wall on the east side of Galveston Island. The statue below is a memorial for the lives lost during the infamous 1900 hurricane, which was the worst natural disaster in U.S. history. As I'm typing this from the sea wall, the storm surge continues to steady increase, with the waves breaking over the top. I'm going to have to retreat to the parking garage stat! We may be trapped here for days...
