I have been watching the news on http://www.txcn.com/ and it looks like Galveston TX is about 80% under water. Here is a link to the interview I just watch. http://www.wfaa.com/video/index.html?nvid=282438
Sad to say the least. I personally would have headed north to be safe.

Just woke and waiting for the local news to give some info. I remember having the roof of my house ripped off ... and landing on my car 
this is what I had to go thru
this is what I had to go thru
St. Croix
There was massive looting and unrest, prompting President George H.W. Bush to send troops to St. Croix in Operation Hawkeye. [5]It also resulted in the first operational deployment of the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS), when the New Mexico-1 Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT)was deployed to assist in medical care needs of the stricken island.
St. Croix
On the island of St. Croix, looting and lawlessness reigned in the aftermath of Hugo. Phone lines, power lines, hospitals, banks, the airport and 90% of all structures were severely damaged or destroyed. Three days after the storm hit, the governor of the Virgin Islands asked United States President George H. W. Bush for federal assistance in restoring order to the island. On September 20, members of the XVIII Airborne "Contingency Corps" were dispatched to the island as part of Operation Hawkeye. Military police patrolled the island for two months, imposing a dusk-to-dawn curfew. Cargo planes brought in food, water, mobile hospital units, and other supplies while offering free evacuation flights for anyone wanting to leave for the mainland. Sections of Christiansted, the island's eastern city, are still in rubble as of 2007.

I have to tell you after reading one of your posts about being less that 200yds from the bay, I can not believe that you did not leave. I'm speechless to say the least.
Here is a photo form infront of the shop today after 6 inches of rain over night. This is taken from our office door way.
