The Potential Galveston Death Toll

Jim Cantori finally made his first appearance a few minutes ago... on Galveston Island. Uh oh.

What's more disturbing is that the seawall is already being topped by waves an hour and a half after low tide and there's much more to come.

With that being said, best estimates have less than 50% of Galveston evacuated so far. I really hope that the people still on the island come to their senses and get out of dodge before it's too late. Sheltering above the storm surge is one thing but sheltering under it is another...

Where is Jim Cantori?

Jim Cantori is the Weather Channel Meteorologist that always appears wherever the storm is worst, without fail. When he appears it is usually a death knell for the surrounding area. I heard he was in Houston somewhere but hasn't made an appearance yet...

If anyone sees him let me know.

Holy moly, Ike takes up the whole gulf.... (watching weather channel)
