There is a real problem with fires that occur during hurricanes - many times the fire department cannot get out, and while you would think the rain would help fight it, it doesn't always. They are reporting four buildings on the Strand in Galveston caught fire.
On the good news front in Galveston - they were able to save some stained glass windows from the Reedy Chapel, A.M.E. (1848) . Also, the 22 trapped on the freighter were all rescued.
