Welcome to Lake Surfside

every time they show the bridge to Surfside they are another couple hundred yards further inland. It looks like 4-5 ft of water is going almost half a mile into the mainland. I hope that guy got his permanent marker out before it got wet. It's not funny to joke about but I can not believe that guy wouldn't leave...

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.
