That's some storm surge. Did relief work on Galveston Island after Ike and went past the sea wall every day. Weird to see the water actually coming over the top of the wall and this isn't even the worst part!

We're tracking at an annualized rate for strong earthquakes at over 3X the average. What is going on? ...Google and read "six strong earthquakes within six days - another expected"

@DLOColumbia107 Katrina was a bit stronger, but we have to be clear: Katrina was a catastrophe because of the levee failure. So in the end, what destroyed New Orleans was human incompetence in the design of the levees, not nature. On the other hand, while Ike was a little weaker than Katrina, it was much bigger (one of the biggest to ever hit the US), and its sustained time over its targets caused the massive damage. -From a NE Houstonian.
