Pressure Dropping

The pressure is dropping here very quickly. My ears are constantly popping and the doors in the house keep swinging on their hinges (no, they don't normally do that).

Storms picking up

Midnight here and the very first outer bands are starting to run through. Getting some decent wind gusts and starting to rain a bit.

Sill have power but have had it pop on and off a few times.

Galveston looks like it's being hit really hard right now

Goodbye Surfside, No Help for the Crazies

From all the live videos I'm seeing, Surfside (and island south of Galveston) is basically gone. The whole island is underwater and the one guy who refuses to leave has been told to write his name and social on his arm so they can identify his body..woah.

Galveston still has an estimated 40% of people who were too dumb to evacuate. The island already has water all over it from the shots I've seen and it will probably go higher.

The outer rain bands look like they are about 2-3 hours from Galveston. I think things are going to go downhill pretty quickly from here.
