Welcome back! In Corpus Christi, Tx we only had 3/4 inch of rain due to the Hurricane and we did see a temporary rise in sea level in low lying areas and the increased tide swells(big waves) damaged a couple of piers and washed away 50+ picnic tables and this was before landfall. After Ike made landfall their was stuff washing up on the beach for days all kinds of stuff that was washed out to sea from the Galveston area there was a lot of new lumber, bunk beds, vending machines, lawn furniture, childrens toys and litterally several tons of other debris.
