Weve been in the rain for the past 30 minutes or so. Early this morning it was more off and on. Now were experienced more ready rain as the bulk of the storm pushes on shore. It is going to make land fall just to our southwest over the next few hours. The winds should stay sustained like this at 3540 Miles Per Hour for the next couple of hours. Where were standing on galveston island is the seawall. It protects the city. We just reached high tide in the last half hour. Theres no beach. This is normally a public beach. You could see the stairs that go down. Not the case today. The water has come up a little bit more. But yesterday there was no beach over. So a lot of beach erosion will be going on. Theyve ordered those voluntary evacuations for the peninsula on the east side of the island. Its a very lowlying area. Water is already covering the road. Officials said we cant get to you if theres a problem, so get out while you can. Flooding is the major concern with this. Yes, its windy,
