Re: Is Galveston expecting any .....
Boomyal, et al,<br /><br />The tide levels didn't get as high as expected, only a couple feet above normal. The surf was great however, and we had the Seawall lined up from one end to the other with surfers. Of course a half dozen camera crews were here as well expecting the unexpected.<br /><br />We were prepared for a sudden turn to the west from its predicted path and sat vigil as we always do. Thankfully, with all the new tracking technology they are able to be pretty darn accurate.<br /><br />My heart goes out to those who are, and will be affected. Ivan came ashore about the same size as Alicia was when it hit here in '83, and I know what kind of damage it can do.<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts.
