    It took my mom 12 hours to get out of Galveston and I'm glad my mom survived

      Wow, I'm glad she was safe! No question the evacuation was horribly executed. Can't get 50,000 people off an island in that time span.
      I hope the next evac is orchestrated better with what they learned. Here's how I would do it.
      Every available bus in Houston. Each one, escorted by GPD announcing free bus evac on the PA, combs every residential street every 30 minutes.
      Reward system for people evacuating that use empty seats to bring people out of the impact zone.
      Buy out the gas from every station on the island. Free gas to everyone helping others get to safety.
      I know most of these ideas are not great, but if there are better ideas let me know. When it's a race against death, saving a life isn't that expensive

      The Galveston seawall, built after the Great Storm of 1900 is 17 feet high and 8 miles long. This hurricane is the worst natural disaster in this country's history. Please don't compare it to any other storms. There just aren't any.

    I know this video is two years old by the time of my viewing. But Galveston just reopened the old trolley lines!

    The trolleys will come back. The city of Galveston is committed to bringing them back. I believe the shells are being rebuilt by a firm in Indiana.

      It can definitely be ghetto in some areas, but Galveston has such good history and culture
