I Remember hurricane Alicia
Aug 18th 1983! Kemah.Net - Kemah,TX,USA
This little cat 3 storm
with
115mph winds killed 21 people and did 1.2 billion dollars
in damage, with a 14 ft storm surge.90% of Dwellings on Jamaica
beach
were destroyed the Seabrook and Kemah flats looked like ground zero.
Houston highrise glass buildings sustained heavy damage.
Kemah.Net webmaster Claire Durkee Worthington road this one out on
board our 56 ft boat at the Seabrook Shipyard
but
"never again. I servived the storm and the bad guys did come in
smal boats as soon as the wind died down. Before law was restored
and
before than Chief of Police Bill Kerber and his officers
could even get back in the Seabrook Shipyard, I had to rack the
action
on my shotgun more than once. Yes, it really is the international
language!" Advice: Be safe evacuate.
