galveston pics
Feb. 9th, 2009 07:43 pmit was nice enough on saturday that em and i went down to galveston. we walked along the beach and sat and read for awhile. still too cold for swimming, but the water was okay for wading.
and a couple with my iphone
it was a nice day, but it was sad to see how much destruction there still is from hurricane ike. the big pier has large sections completely missing, and a truck is stuck on it with no way to get to solid ground. there are houses slumping off of their foundations or demolished into piles of rubble. there are boats on the side of the road. a lot of the stoplights are blinking red, or missing. em's favorite restaurant, the captain's table, is in ruins. it was located past the seawall (no protection whatsoever from storm surge), so it looks like it was gutted. it makes me sad.
