Relatively Good News for two stores!

Galveston photography and friend, Robert Mihovil, stopped by Tina's and The Admiralty in the Galveston Strand Historic District yesterday to check on conditions of the two stores.  From what he could see, it looks as though the storm surge stopped before it reached the second level of both stores, which is certainly a relief.

Luigi's, next door to Tina's did not fair so well, Mihovil reported, as all the windows were blown out with table cloths and furniture strewn everywhere.

My parents, owners of Tina's and The Admiralty,  home was spared it appears, with a shallow waterline only on the garage, but not the back side of their east end condo. We'll have to see what happened inside.  

My sister Leslie and her husband's brand new home in Fish Village took about two feet of water, but is structurally sound from reports. They haven't even made their first mortgage payment yet. 

Tina's manager Boyce rode out the storm safely in League City.
