Waiting for Ike
Hurricane Ike was a powerful Category 2 hurricane that made landfall near Galveston, Texas, on September 13, 2008. The hurricane brought with it strong winds, heavy rainfall, and a significant storm surge. The storm surge, in particular, caused widespread flooding and extensive damage to buildings, infrastructure, and homes along the coast.
Galveston, being a barrier island city located along the Gulf of Mexico, was particularly vulnerable to the storm surge. The hurricane's impact led to the flooding of the island and caused significant destruction. Many buildings were damaged or destroyed, and the storm surge reached far inland, affecting even areas not directly on the coast.
