3 weeks later.

This weekend, people from my church went to Galveston to help clean up homes and churches there. Everything is ruined inside of buildings and houses because of the horrible mold! The volunteers were required to wear masks and some even had on full-body suits while they were cleaning. It was so sad to see. Here are some pictures...

We lost count of how many boats had been tossed up against the road and the freeway!
The Flagship Hotel sits over the water. If you look closely, you can see the road has broken off and you can no longer get to the hotel. Right above the word "Flagship," you can see straight into the building! It is totally destroyed. This is a gift shop that sits (sat) out over the water.
Incredibly, there are still souvenirs hanging on the wall of that gift shop!
This is whats left of The Strand, where all the shops used to be.

It was so sad to see the island like this. We estimated it will take a year to get it back to 'normal.'
