Favorite Beaches After Hurricane Ike

I grew up in Winnie, Texas. If you have followed Hurricane Ike news, you will have heard of it. These beach communities were right down the road, about 10 minutes away. I have seen names I recognize on the missing list. Maybe they evac'd and will turn up. A few evacuees say that 100's are missing.
These were the beaches I walked and ran along, the places I surfed, the places I fished.
At High Island-Gilchrist I would park, and walk down to the beach. A dolphin always seemed to jump as soon as I would approach the water, even from the time of my childhood.
They are gone. Swept out to sea, and some swept inland. Gone.
These were quiet, pristine beaches where people lived real lives. Not geared for tourists, but rather for families who had been there for generations.
I hope that in the days and weeks to come, those who were trapped by waters that rose 24 hours sooner than expected will show up, or be found alive.
May God bless everyone there. May God bless those who are now gone. They will be very much missed.

I will post many video links later, maybe tomorrow, showing the complete devastation to this once paradise on the Texas coast. As soon as I can do it without tears.
