The coastguard helicopter made countless trips over our house to Bolivar. We found out later many people were caught off guard by the rising water on the only evacuation route out of Bolivar.
Our neighborhood after the storm.
Buses coming in to help evacuate people out of Galveston.
On our way out to the Frio River to get the heck out of the mess, San Antonio had TX DOT signs warning to not travel to Houston or Beaumont. I was stunned to see these signs.
Galveston has made quite a com back since September 13, 2008. It is still sad to see the long lasting damage & some are saying it will take a decade to fully recover. Ron locked his keys is his van the week after the storm while working on the island. I had no plans of going down there that soon and found myself in tears looking at all of the damage. It really looked like a bomb had gone off. Many tree have salt water contamination and will have to be cut down. Broadway will never look the same.
Galveston will recover.....always has and always will!!!
And a full update on life and our trip to the Frio coming very, very soon!!!
