09-12-2008 Hurricane Ike Galveston Texas Storm Surge

[@nancyenglish2688]

So nice to see the Balanese once more. Huge loss so historic. Thank you for posting Excellent footage. Devastating storm.

[@AreaThirteenThirteen]

ZZ Top has a song about the Balinese.

[@conniewolf7300]

Yes, I couldn’t think of the name of it!

[@cats400]

Funnily enough, the site of the Balinese room is for sale. I think its like $300K. the permits needed to build such a structure are not being issued anymore, so it is definitely worth the price to someone. Would cost several million to build on it, though.

[@MomentsNature-w8o]

The image of the house before the wave is really scary, right?

[@iamjosh6027]

Ike was the scariest storm I've ever rode out. Was in league city about 35 -40 miles north of Galveston. I'll never forget the sound of the wind as it went through.

[@bibleonly1]

...hold on the best is yet to come...

[@iamjosh6027]

@@bibleonly1 what does that even mean? I'm talking about a crazy storm I rode out in my home and you say the best is yet to come??

[@iamjosh6027]

*Ike changed Galveston forever.* Many didn't survive the aftermath of rebuilding and/or relocating after loosing all their belongings. Thank you for uploading this video, keep'em coming! *Take Care & Safe Travels Everyone!*

That night is when 99% of Houston lost power. 2 small tornadoes went by my house - tore up my trees and neighbor's trees and took off a few shingles - the tornadoes sounded like jet engines. Luckily one of my brothers still had power the next day - about 20 family members moved in for a week. When he called me that afternoon to come to his house, I asked him what food I should bring - he said "Bring everything you got - we need it" lol.

[@DerteRouge]

lol🙏🏾

[@ManOfGod-vq7sb]

Didn’t expect to see footage from a storm 12 years ago

[@LiveStormsMedia]

We are building our catalog of stock footage - so you will see some of that come up from time to time especially when we have down periods. - BA

[@ManOfGod-vq7sb]

Live Storms Media oh ok thanks for replying

[@TommyBowerscoasters]

The surge from this storm is stunning. Thanks for posting

[@Jck9102]

That isn't the storm surge.

[@divinepeace007]

At least one storm a week??????????????? how people live there

[@jtwright4095]

Thank you this was beautiful

[@Jck9102]

Beautiful?

[@butterfingers87]

Mother Nature is very angry at is human

[@christophermathern6796]

Great stuff. I moved to Houston in 2014 so I didn't get this one but I've always been fascinated with storms. Harvey was definitely an experience for me.

[@cats400]

Harvey was nothing but rain for Houston. Just wait till you ride out a real hurricane with wind and all

[@christinestange4813]

Ahhhhh ... the Balinese. An important piece of history, taken by Ike. The Bolivar Peninsula was taken from the landscape. People lost their lives ....more than we'll ever know. RIP 🌀 🌊💦🙁🙏🏼🌹 Excellent footage of the beginning of the storm 👍

[@mahfah7911]

Love your channel and video. Awesome post. Can’t believe this. I have driven my car. Didn’t knew water can come this high with waves

[@CoreShaft]

when there is no storms to cover live storms media has to post history and small thunderstorms

[@USMC-es4yy]

As bad as this storm was I don't think most people realize how bad it would have been without the raising of the island and the seawall which were finished in 1910.

[@Lalunabreeze]

Love wild weather. Of course I don’t want anyone hurt or property damaged.

[@Dave-eu3ib]

U should learn to be a weather chaser

[@shirleyconti1361]

I wish you had footage from back Bay jamaica beach and sea isle 13 feel of water

[@jhaseglenn2459]

Wonderful footage.

[@midnightmystery544]

Glad to see an old storm, for a change.

[@TXBeardedWarrior]

F that Storm. 13 years later. Rode it out just inland. Ruined lots of family & friends housing & businesses.

[@TXBeardedWarrior]

And my GF and I Broke up like two days before it hit.

[@melissalove7828]

Holy smokes . :(

[@seaaashelll6390]

Great video👍🏼

[@conniewolf7300]

I recognize this place! It was an old gambling establishment back in the day!

[@18K_RBLX]

Two of my family Members Got Stuck At sea On A Peer When This Happened

[@deborahfinning6792]

If I could I would always live on the water. Everyday is a gift there in my eye's. That one day that gift purges all the evil in the world. It is then cleansed of impurities. Then tomorrow, the sun comes out again. Everyday, live as the sun is shining. Be nice...maybe we won't need to purge if there is good in the world.... Everywhere!

[@Jck9102]

Yeah but this isn't the storm surge. I wish people would quit posting waves breaking across the sea wall as storm surge.
