Ike-a-rumba!
Sunday, September 14, 2008
Hurricane Ike swept across the gulf this weekend making landfall along the upper coast of Texas. Remarkably little impact was felt here in the Valley, little to no rain and insignificant winds. The one thing that we did get was storm surge, which in its own respect was very impressive. Several people found their vehicles stranded on the beach Thursday night as Ike pushed the gulf waters right up to them. By Friday morning the Gulf was flowing freely across the North end of the Island and into the bay at all of our "beach access points." It really makes you appreciate a continuous line of sand dunes, keeping the inner island--our homes--safe from the rising waters.
Of course, with heavy surf, comes surfers!
