Hello all My friends, Thanks Cheryl for sending me a PM to check on me I appreciate that so Ill answer you here and say I got back late last night, It&#39;s a mess down there we didnt take any cameras because we just thought it would be unethical to go down like tourists taking pictures from those that have lost everything and are suffering, we started out in Houstons Homeland Defense Headquarters, we got briefed and then went on into Galveston and Galvestons Emergency People and then we were paired up with galveston County Sheriffs Department and we went to Bolivar Penininsala and Crystal Beach area,it looked like Hiroshima&#33; You see it on TV but when it&#39;s real it&#39;s something else. Each of us paired up with a Deputy Sheriff and split off into Sectors of  Crystal Beach, and some went to High Island, and we started our patrol and Search of the Areas, I dont see the Residential areas recovering anytime soon, Galveston has gotten most of their Buisnesses going, but The Residential areas are just a mess, the Pier and buisnesses along the channel are just torn to pieces, wooden walkways gone, the red building that we see all the time on the harbor cam is about gone, cars were all over the parking lots washed across the street from Eze cruise parking lot, there had been 5 to 6 feet of water in them,300 cars were lost, Ive been in some strong storms but this was the most devasting one for the Water Surge and the Force of it Ive ever seen&#33;&#33; Well Ive went on enough I hope everyones doing ok, My friends if you could see all those people down there that have lost everything then you would say that you have no problems and are blessed, I had people come up to me when we were Back in galveston pulling on my sleeve and asking if their Home was still there, where was their Loved Ones at, could we help them find them and the hopefullness in thiur eyes, it was just heartwrenching and Im usually a pretty tough Guy because Ive seen a lot in My life but that would make you want to just hold them and tell them everything will be allright&#33;&#33; Sending best wishes to everyone here and just remember when things get bad just think of those in Galveston and Bolivar Island, Crystal Beach and the West End as well. God Bless and may we all be Blessed with Helath and happiness and well being&#33;&#33; <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wub.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" /> Ill be back later on in the week, Im just worn out&#33;&#33;
