Galveston Island and fishing on Galveston Bay one year after Hurricane Ike
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009On September 13th, 2008 Hurricane Ike made landfall directly over Galveston Island in Texas. Hurricane Ike was a category 2 storm, but as we all found out it caused massive damage and destruction equivalent to a category 4 storm. Hurricane Ike stretched over 500 miles, had howling winds up to 110 mph and a storm surge of 13-20 feet. Hurricane Ike was the third most destructive hurricane to ever make landfall in the United States and it was blamed for up to 200 deaths nation wide. Residents up and down the Texas gulf coast to the Louisiana coast were greatly effected by this storm, but Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula were the hardest areas hit. The storm surge of up to 20 feet and flooding were the main culprits of most of the coastal damage. Unfortunately homes, businesses, landmarks, and even lives were lost due to Hurricane Ike. It had been 23 years since Galveston Island had experienced a storm of this magnitude, hopefully it will be over another 23 years until they experience another one. (more…)
