Wonder how IKE will affect the rally? The website appears unchanged.

Anyone go last year?

I would think Ike would pretty much cancel the rally since Galveston is getting hammered pretty hard today.

 

the island is closed

the Balinese is a pile of broken 2x4s as are many other seawall restaurants and hotels

 

Kiss the rally goodbye......Galveston is under water.

 

The rally is six weeks away, but I doubt that the city can pull it together. Galveston is a dying city. I was there last month for a company shin-dig and the place was a ghost town. Downtown and the Strand is well into urban decay, lots of places were out of business. Too bad, Galveston used to be a real nice town.

 

What a shame, used to love going there when I was a kid.

When I posted this originally, I hadn't seen the scope of the damage.

I'm glad I didn't get my *** flamed off, as I started feeling this thread may have been inappropriate after watching the tube and seeing all the damage, even up into Houston.

The Balinese gone, 61st st. pier gone, and no telling what else the next few days will reveal.

My thoughts go out to those affected by IKE.
