These pictures were taken before the storm at about 9AM Friday. You can see the waves were already hitting us pretty hard and there was a fair amount of water on the island.

 

 

Note the three pictures of the Galveston firefighters. They were turning off the natural gas to the buildings built from the sea wall into the gulf. As the wave comes in the stairs disappear.

 

 

The last one is me.
