Bolivar Peninsula & Ike
3 Attachment(s)
I know you have heard about Ike coming thru Galveston & Houston. Bolivar Peninsula is just to the east of Galveston. This area just about got totally wiped out. I was wondering if my house was till there or how it survided. Yesterday I looked at the arial picture that was taken over the house and it looked like the completer roof was there. Well Today I got some pictures of the area. Here is the google maps link to the area.

Forgot the best one. This is my house. The garage is gone, downstairs shower, and part of built in table. Rest of house almost looks like it did last week Thursday.

got to love those metal roofs, rest of the house looks ok, what about plumbing /septic?

You look like one of the more fortunate ones.
Best wishes, |

Looks like you did ok- even the stairway held.
What I find amazing about those shots is the lack of debris- everything has been washed away. I guess that will make the cleanup go a bit quicker. Good luck, brother. |
That is one tough house!!!Good luck to you.
