Boy I am glad I'm not in Galveston

Watching the weather channel waiting for the laundry to be done.  Wow!  The hurricane is over 12 hours away and its low tide and there are parts of Galveston area that have enough water to cover mailboxes!!!  I'm thinking that famous Galveston sea wall is not going to be enough!  Ike may only be a Cat 2 wind wise...but those sea levels are going to be devastating.
