Maybe they just don't care anymore.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 459297

Well we went to Galveston, got our relatives and are staying in Tomball, near Houston. Usually, we go to Galveston and stay with our elderly relatives but this time, the woman said "I gotta a feeling about this one and I think we need to leave." NEVER has she said this!
Water is already flooding the Strand/downtown area. Sewage is being flushed into the streets through storm drains as the surge fills the bay on the north side of the island.
The seawall has waves splashing 20+ feet in the air.

61st street, the major road that connects the end point of IH-45 to the west end of Galveston, is now under water....

There's a guy in a bear suit dancing around on Galveston's Seawall! angryface

I would love to see a massive wave smash up and carry him away.

I believe some of them sense this is history in the making and their desire to be a part of history is over-riding their good sense. A Once in a lifetime event and they want to be able to say: I was there. I saw it with my own eyes real time.

True, but Ike will spare at least one of them so that he can be remembered. Hurricanes are like that for some reason.

Reporters are saying the blacks have already started looting.

Looting during a hurricane situation has to be one of the lowest forms of criminal behavior out there. angryface

since the wall doesn't surround the island
the water goes behind the wall, fills up the bay behind the island and floods it from the back side

Obama is going to head down there, raise his hands and heal the planet and save Texas. we are so lucky to have him. Polly will drive him down. amen



...and Palin will say that Ike was a mission from God, and a sure sign of his approval about attacking Russia.

Biden would say that the Hanna or the next hurracaine could do the destruction better, and McCain would chant: 'drown, drown, drown, Galveston'.

There you have the 4 Fantastics, saving America.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 501540

The bay is on the north side of the island.The seawall is on the south. The storm surge pushes the water into the bay which has already backwashed into the storm drains and is flushing sewage into the streets in the Strand disctrict. Tell ya what, if looter do begin there crap, there will be quite a few "floaters" . We just left there after getting our elders out. This is the first time they EVER felt the need to evacuate.

I heard the Gavelston county prison was not being evacuated (1000 inmates), This was due to a security risk. If the island is going to be covered for 12 hours, then I have to wonder how many people will survive. If there buildings are strong and they have several floors then I can see some making it though the storm.

There are still people in Bolivar Peninsula, which is basically going to be a big lake after the storm!

They are not going to make it.

They have now grounded most of the helicopters due to the high winds. There are still some of the heavier copters that are in service, but the winds are picking up.
