On Thanksgiving this year, I headed down to Galveston for the day. Jeff had to work, and I was off with nothing to do. We had celebrated Thanksgiving the night before, so Jeff could cook on his day off.
It has been a little over 2 years since Hurricane Ike ravaged the Galveston area. Many things have been repaired, but they have not forgotten the storm. It really is a blessing that the town is rebuilding, even if it is a little bit slower than expected.

This picture shows the line across the door, indicating where the water line was during the flooding of Hurricane Ike.

Some markings were crudely drawn onto the sides of buildings. But, the point is very clearly made!

Just as a point of reference on how high up the water really came on the buildings. I am standing on the sidewalk next to this building.

Some companies/people made more of a permanent marker on the side of their buildings in the Strand District.
