Aerial taken east of Jamaica Beach
It is looking better than feared. KHOU finally released video of the west end of the island, especially Jamaica Beach. At 2:49 on the right I can see the storage sheds, and a whitish blob where Dad’s house should be. The roofs appear to be intact on the sheds and I’m assuming the house survived.
We are still waiting on news of my sister’s house. They are near 53rd and Menard, if you have any reports of how high the water got in that area, please let me know.

We’ve got news of my sister’s house near 55th and Menard. Their house is pier and beam foundation and had 2 feet of water in their living area and about 5 in the garage. Houses on slabs in that area probably had 4-5 feet of water.
