This is the second of three 10-minute clips from Hurricane Ike I'm going to post... This is shot on September 12th 2008 on our way to the fort Galveston where we rode the storm out! It was really surreal walking down Seawall Blvd seeing 20 foot + waves shooting into the sky! Also when we did get to our fort there was a horrible fire about a block or so away from us in the marina... Huge flames and think black smoke shot across the sky as far as we could see... That night I saw the eeriest sunset I have EVER SEEN in my life... A mixture or smoke, red sky, and winds approaching hurricane force! Below is the link to a blog post I put out just before we left for the fort... I couldn't help thinking what Isaac Cline and others must have been thinking as the GREAT 1900 Hurricane was coming ashore... Keep in mind there was NO sea wall back then!!! Even though Ike was not as strong at the 1900 hurricane, without a seawall Galveston wouldn't exist and we would have been in big trouble!
