    She didn't say 'don't leave' but she did say to stay, that it was 'too late' to leave and that they would be setting up shelters.

    Not sure I agree with this. It appears that the entire island of Galveston is going to be under water, correct? With a 20 foot storm surge at high tide?

    Don't forget the waves on top of the surge.

    I completely agree with everybody. They are morons. My cousin had this big toothy smile and his eyes lit up, as they left. He is a middle aged man with 2 sons and a wife. I am still hopeful, that they turn around as soon as they hit Texas City.

    The highest elevation on Galvestion is 20 ft above sea level. That would put them just above sea level. If they get to the 2nd story of a strong building in the highest elevation of the island, they should be fine. They should have left, but they still have a good chance of survival on the higher elevations.

    How are they going to get to a 2nd story anything since most places are closed and evacuated?

    Don't forget about waves.

    If they already live on the 2nd floor on the high part of town, they can stay in place. If they are on the 1st floor, they might have some water seep in the door step from the waves.
