We made it through the night and were out at first light documenting damage. It’s extensive along the seawall. Virtually everything outside the seawall only exists as a big pile of debris now on Seawall Blvd. There is still quite a bit of flooding on the north side, but wind damage is hit and miss, most structures survived. A huge pile of debris on I45, we couldn’t even get very far to see much that direction. West end of the island is shut down by police. They told me they don’t even know what is down there, the roads are washed out.
This huge fire broke out at an apartment complex early afternoon and burned out a number of units. I may not be able to update any more until after we get off the island. Comms here are sparse and we are super busy documenting things. Some incredible damage video to be posted later.
Below is the ENG footage we send out to the news. CBS and AP picked this up so far. I have also put an extended version of this fire as stock footage on my YouTube account.
