Can’t feel for persons who build in area that has been struck before. Sorry.

By the way the numbers on loss of people is more than a hundred not the number this video says and this is the number never found still

IKE had build way out in Atlantic had all that push of sea water and when we seen videos of waves hitting Islands close to Cuba at four story high we knew this was going to be catastrophic for Galveston, I lived on highest part of Island as a born and raised one and I told everyone get out just as soon as city says go , we had four foot of water in house and the loss was insane, the sad part is all that waited to late getting out and elders that we lost shortly after the loss they had because of stress so yes Island was rebuilt but insurance laws were passed to build better but inspectors passed places like homes they know shouldn’t have passed and it’s going to be a problem again

I was an engineer for the power company, CenterPoint Energy, after Ike. I was assigned to Galvestion. There was no power on Galveston and the residents were not not allowed back. Being from CenterPoint and in a CenterPoint truck, we were welcomed in. It was wierdly deserted. There were no traffic lights operating or traffic except for CenterPoint and the telephone company. The transmissions lines were mostly intact except some old wood pole transmission lines. The reason is Ike was not a wind storm it was a flood storm. This meant the substations were flooded and not operating. The first thing was to get a mobile substation moved in and patch the existing substations. When you walk into a substation and put your hand on the power transformer and it is not humming, there is no power. The crews worked and when I left the transformers were humming and the traffic lights were working. What never made much sense to me was we built the houses up high on piles and the distribution line were high on wood poles along with the transformer, but the meter and the meter bases were at 5 feet. This meant the meter flooded and had to be replaced. In many cases the homeowner had to hire an electrician to replace the meter base before a new meter could be installed. Additionally CenterPoint had a limited number of meter keys and authorized key people. This meant the contract crews could not fix the flooded meter. The engineer in me questions the wisdom of some parts of the company. In the big picture it took a long time to put the rest of Galveston back. It did not make sense to have power, but not to be able to buy groceries to put in the refrigerator. The water needs to flow and the toilets need to operate. You need police and a fire department. Electricity leads the rest of the needed services. I spent the next years raising the equipment in the substations. I put the the very large substation transformers high in the air and put new control buildings high in the air on 3-foot diameter concrete piers. An Ike like flood storm will never put the lights out, except for that darn meter problem. That problem was not in my area and the fix at that time was to replace the meter if the saltwater did not corrode the meter base.

Our home in Huffman ( miles inland) was destroyed by a neighbor's tree that fell on it. Was left homeless

August 1, 1989...wrong, that was Chantal

Some people can't evacuate because they simply have nowhere else to go. You're literally trapped in one spot a rock and a hard place. I believe they call. I was in Puerto Rico for hurricane Maria. We went 8 months without power. I couldn't get back to the states because everything. I had had got washed away and blown away. But here in the states, not everyone has to homes.Not everyone has a family that you can just go to and be okay with them

Mt. Ferrite is wise.. history repeats every 100 years.

And 6 years later waiting for Beryl 😢

Insurance Council.... well, I hope you have cleaned up the estimators and legit claims... because my house was roofless and damage from the rain with no roof... I say that because all I got was money for a new roof... what about the broken windows, flood damage, personal items...? people got their homes rebuilt and I got $12k for a roof. took me two years to get the house back together myself. Lied to about that storm ... wind was height.... 140 mph gusts and sustained 115 mph. Storm surge was 25 ft in places.... one tough storm!

Hurricanes/Tornadoes have been destroying properties for thousands of years, yet "The United Nations" needs to chime in and blame it on carbon...... sounds like agenda promotion opportunity. Yeah, we trust "The United Nations" like we do our government.

People wouldn’t leave by bus because they couldn’t take their dogs. They changed that rule after Ike.

We lived on west end of galv- we had whole houses in our canals! Everything downstairs was gone even our grass! The trauma was crazy! I seen front of houses torn off- 1 house u were looking into the kitchen - the Refrig was open & EVERYTHING was still in it even in the door next to it EVERYTHING was still sitting on the counters including the coffee pot! It was really weird! Folks n town that stayed said water came up real fast but as Ike moved on land it was like God came & took the water away FASTER than it came up ut went away! Lydia Ann sucked as a mayor we went to 1st town hall meeting- it was absurd! Their were out of state contractors on the island when residents couldn’t return! We left but coming back across the causeway they were not even checking IS’s! FEMA buses were coming in & I swear FEMA STANDS FOR: Find Every Mexican Available! Those buses were full of them! FEMA SUCKED! Most didn’t qualify for FEMA help but u had to give them all ur personal Info to b told NOPE U DONT QUALIFY! I feel like the city & fed gov let the citizens of galv down bad! Ike was the FORGOTTEN STORM!

DAMN, she's awesome . Only a person who was born and raised on the Island can stand their ground ❤

Ayo why does this look like a cod mw2 intro scene?

24:59

Oh yeah we went to Dallas I Remer the flea market where I got that Rolling Stone cover with Britney Spears:An American Tragedy Wegot back home and I remember the free food they were giving out I loved it I loved the food it was "american food" I growing up Mexican wasn't accustomed to I was like 16 What a HELL HOLE 2008 was The only shining moment that year was getting to see my grandma and grandpa I was in the early stages of a decade of depression How sad Had I known Had I gotten help I'd probably would of had a better more prosperous life

Fact is you shouldn't build in hurricane prone zones!

I'm not on board with the scale being broken. I do understand their point about the damage. But they're the Insurance Council and we shouldn't go off damage for them. That's what we do with the tornados and the Enhanced Fujita scale that rated El Reno an EF-3. That's too dependent on where it hits.

Been having a hard time finding out if a home on piles foundation can get approved for wind insurance. I looked in the building code and piles is mentioned but it seems most people we ask don't know

We didn't have power for 2 weeks (Houston). I was dating am HPD officer, and she would be patrolling the city, call me and tell me to get over to whatever gas station, they just got a gas delivery and/ or they had ice come in. I'd make these trips at 2 or 3 in the morning, whenever that phone rang, to help keep the generator going. To this day I hate scented candles.

I should add that when we bought our home that flooded, at the closing in the title office, we were told we didn't need flood insurance because we weren't in a flood plain and our home had never flooded. We had Dickinson bayou at the end of our street. And the only reason our home hadn't ever flooded is because it was built the year AFTER Camille struck. Thank God we didn't listen to the employees at that title office.

We bought a house in Dickinson, Texas, closed on the house and moved in. Three months later, Hurricane Harvey sent 28 inches of filthy dirty bayou water into our home. Within minutes it went from some water running under the front wall of the living room to being knee deep. We walked out at 3 a.m. with our cats in carriers in my kayak, water waist deep, fire ants crawling on us and stinging. I got to a higher point on I-45 and sat down and scraped the fire ants off. Ironically, we moved into the apartments above an airplane hangar at the old Lone Star Aviation Museum and lived a year on Galveston while our house was completely renovated. After less than three years we sold the house and got the hell out of hell/Texas. Happy here in the Rocky Mountains. Of course, we weren't told when buying a house, that rice used to be grown in the area. Stop building in a flood plain and stop asking the entire country to subsidize your decision to live at risk. The man in this video from League City needs to stop blaming the feds and move to high ground. Schwartz is 100% right.

why was this in my recommended.

I'll never forget this storm in my life my mom passed away in Herman hospital downtown Houston in the 6 th and the storm hit right after that and tore the roof off of my granddad's apartment at Concord at Little York Rd ...

Insureance and state didn’t make anything right on Galveston, after things were passed to make all replaced building higher and even some places where homes are today are lower than before IKE ,also not any home or Business that was rebuilt were built the old way , all the new rebuilds were all done with nail guns and bet not many even followed old way of using ring shank mailings

I was in Galveston County jail when Ike hit Galveston.

Ok , sorry for what happened BUT ... It is a foolish man that builds his house on sand , especially over and over again There is no stabilizing sand You can only build house up about 12feet Same thing with anything else you build on sand or around water

I would have evacuated if a Cat 2 hurricane were to come

3 days and I had power power back

I live outside of Houston. I just remember the howling winds that never seemed to stop, they went on for hours and hours. Ike was a huge storm that left an indelible mark on me. We had a lot of damage and to do this day, I fear hurricane season.

I live in SW Ohio. 24 hours after Ike made landfall, it arrived in Ohio with very strong wind gusts. It wrecked havoc on our power grid. It took them a week and half to restore power to everyone. Massive power outage. We lived in the dark for a solid week. Cat 2 my arse.

Ike took out the historic Balinese Room:(

I was 17 years old before that I drove a 1991 Dodge pickup Hurricane Ike dropped Tree on it destroying it

We need phones that can turn down the freakin music!

We left glad we did

I was born the year before and ike I was not even 1 wen it hit my hometown of Houston Texas I even saw the eye of ike

Sad sad memories. I was still in a wheelchair; my kids: were 7-year-old7 & 17. I recall one day when my 7 year old & I were home. My 17-year-old came running from 3 blocks away; it was still flooded. My 17 year old carried me upstairs in an empty apartment, then, my 7 yr old & a little boy next door. He had to leave in a metal bucket like a boat, barely big enough for a dog. 😔recall

This is… astoundingly well made.

Jesus wasn't just the LORD and SAVIOR for Christians HE came to save all of HUMANITY as in Slave is equal to master, Love your neighbor as you would love your brother. Because he didn't see any race, creed or religion HE saw US not US & them tribalism or Us and them chosen people/Master race just US! We as in HUMANITY will only survive the impending end times due to our solar system crossing of our galaxies Electromagnetic gravitational plane in the next Millenia by uniting as one and the only ONE who put forth that ideology was JESUS humanities LORD and SAVIOR. Grade 5 science could debunk CO2 caused climate cycles. The temperature is rising first and Co2 follows. Cause and effect.' Earth is a closed loop that self regulates co2 with life by combining CO2 wit hH2O to capture the EM energy of the galaxy via the sun to create life. Energy is neither created nor destroyed. On this planet. All energy comes from and or returns to our galaxies double torus electromagnetic gravitational Nucleus/Bulge via our Sun to us. Covid like CO2 is a comfortable LIE built upon an inconvenient truth. The Baby Boomers who were born en mass 76 years ago are starting to die from the usual suspects of seasonal Flu which leads to pneumonia and old age. The Covid 1984 MASK of the Beast is a pretext for the COVidiot vaccine in combination with 5G being the depopulation FINAL SOLUTION, before our crossing our galaxies EM/gravity plane resets our planet with EMP plasma bursts, Oort cloud comets and Noah's Great Year East to west tidal waves. China's one child policy in western christian democracies is Abortion, LGBTQ, Suicide, Drugs and alcohol, Sterilization, Euthanasia, anti child propaganda etc Club of Rome, Georgia Guide Stone, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, Global orgs pushing Depopulation BLM/ALM is a divide and conquer tactic. Don't let yourselves be divided to be conquered by these evil serf serving despicable humans . Turn the other cheek because odds are your being manipulated to kill your brother in the HUMAN race. Underestimate your the ENEMY to HUMANITY at HUMANITIES peril.

That one woman. Spent their life savings to build a home and retire to Galveston. 🤔 It’s Galveston! It’s a sandbar! I love Galveston, even though I’ve never lived there. But come on people how dumb can you be?? She acts so surprised that this happened. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Legend has it that Ike had 2 eyes.

My parents built a house on the west end in 1957. We lived there for 9 years. It never had a drop of water in it until Ike. It survived Carla and Alicia. But Ike was different, direct hit and the storm surge was huge.

I remember going through Hurricane Ike when I was just 6 years old. It was one of the scariest moments of my life. The house me and my family were at in Beaumont had nearly collapsed. I remember seeing the fierce winds against the other houses and trees.

I lived thru Hurricane Hugo when it hit SC

For God’s sakes people, if you are ordered to evacuate then GET OUT!!

That was 366 days before i was born

You know....after the great hurricane of 1900 that killed thousands of people and pretty much wiped out Galveston the people of that island took wagons teams of mules and dozens of men armed with nothing but shovels and pick axes and they spent several years jacking up houses and raising the ground beneath them a good 6 to 8 feet taller....a monumental task done in that day with those tools ....it NEEDS to be done AGAIN this time with the U.S. Army Corps of engineers to prevent another disaster of that magnitude....one day a category 5 will hit the Texas coastline and push a 30 foot wall of storm surge before it....
