Scary

Posted on September 13, 2008

This satellite image is just scary, especially when you notice that the hurricane is actually the size of Texas itself. Even worse is the fact that I watch the news here and see waves splashing over the familiar seawall in Galveston like it wasn’t a 17-foot barrier to the sea. My family is safe and sound in San Antonio/north Houston/Tokyo, but I’m still thinking of everyone at home and hoping you all have homes and businesses to go back to after the 25-foot storm surge has its way…

    Hi Kristin,

    Happy to hear that your family is safe. The damage Ike has done is bad; hope that your family will be able to return to their homes soon. Wish them a lot of courage.

    Groetjes,
    Gaby

I'm Kristin, a Texan born to an American father and English mother. I've been living in Australia since 2008. My first plane flight was when I was three weeks old and I've been hooked ever since. I never feel quite right unless I have a plane ticket (to anywhere, whether it's Sydney or Singapore) booked in my name!
