Devastating Ike Pictures... Wow

For those who have never been to Galveston here's a perspective on how bad the storm surge was. In picture #5 there is a seawall about 100 yards from the homes that is 15 feet tall. The entire city was raised after the hurricane of 1900, and the seawall was built. So, the storm surge was close to 20 feet before Ike made landfall.
