12.45 the eye has touched land in Galveston which is about 45 miles due south of us across Galveston Bay. Power is on and off, on right now. Still blowing around 60, but every now and then it really whistles.

Offshore racing misses you terribly.

Over 3 million without power. Made landfall in Galveston at 2:10AM CST. High tide was at 3:01AM CST. :eek:

From the sound of things, Galveston and many coastal areas are devastated. They will know more once daylight arrives.
