I haven't been there since the late spring of 2009, the year after the storm. Galveston was still pretty torn up but I believe Surfside Beach was worse. The photo of the former building is from East Beach and the water shots are 38th street. I've heard tar balls from the Deepwater Horizon have started to wash up on Bolivar. I'm so relieved they have the oil stopped. . . at least for now. Just pray the containment holds up and we don't get another storm.
