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...

Topped of the Morning

They just showed pictures of waves over topping the 17 ft. seawall that protects Galveston. The storm is still 20 hours out... That seawall is pretty much all the protection that the island has. This is not good...
