I can feel vibration in the walls of our house laying here in bed. I don't think we are going to get the relief of the eye. I wish this was over but I think we have a few more hours of it. I have had the fleeting thought of whether parts of roof can handle these winds winds are really high here. I can feel vibration in the walls of our house laying here in bed.

I'm 15 miles north of that, so I'm getting slammed. Light's went out at 12:45 am for the last time. They went on and off for a time starting at 10:30pm. We've heard several things drop in the backyard, but the trees are a bit aways for us. Our small tree is holding up. Neighbors all have walkee talkees and are keeping each other informed of events. Unfortunately, transtar cameras are out, so not much to see. It’s 4am, the eye wall is at the edge of Hwy 90. I’m 15 miles north of that, so I’m getting slammed.

On Verizon wireless but can't log in to my blogs for some reason. Killer surge does not appear to have materialized. Have theory, donut shape to hurricane winds, not disk means not as powerful as thought. Went over north end of island also. Will probably not be able to keep posting.

Boy that one's going to come back and bite us in the ass next time. Does this mean that perhaps it wasn’t CERTAIN DEATH to remain in Galveston?
