I was very young for Alicia- but I remember it. And we weathered it just fine.
Tonight I am worried. I am not worried about the wind and the rain- this looks very much like my recollection of Alicia.
What I am worried about is the storm surge and its placement. It looks possible that Galveston will have the worst flooding and literally "wipeout" in 100 years- and estimates are that 11,000 people stayed behind. The seawall built in the early 1900s has never been breached, but tonight could be the night.
Additionally, on current trajectory- the storm surge will drive right up the Houston ship channel which is going to flood over 100,000 homes.
You never know what will happen, but all afternoon and evening this storm is keeping on that track and even leaving out all the media hype crap- this could be very, very bad.
I cannot count the friends and family I have in Houston and Galveston- and in areas in between. I am safe here in Austin, but I won't be going to bed tonight.
Prayers and well wishes for everyone in the path of Ike.
