Hurricane Ike raged ashore near Galveston early on September 13th, producing devastating storm surge for some and power outages for many on the upper Texas coast. While inland portions of the Lower Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas felt nothing more than a few breezes from the west and southwest, coastal interests faced quite a different situation. Large swells and high waves radiating well west of Ike's growing core over the southeast and south central Gulf on September 10th reached the coast by the morning of the 11th, grew to maximum intensity on the 12th, and lingered into the morning of the 13th. Very high seas, severe beach erosion, coastal flooding, and big surf prevailed. ||Coastal flooding impacts were relatively minor, with damage restricted to vulnerable structures not protected by dunes or a barrier wall beach side on the 12th, and to businesses and residences with minimal elevation bay side. The continuous pounding of the beach by Ike completed the substantial erosion which began with Dolly in July, and continued with Gustav at the start of September.
