Do we know exact numbers for the surge like at Gilchrist / Rollover Bay? When the storm was making landfall, several gauges broke. I'm thinking that they, instead of Galveston, got a monster surge. 68.13.238.221 ( talk) 03:58, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
16-Sep-2008: There seem to be conflicts between storm surge levels and elevated houses washed away at 19-feet above sea level. Perhaps destruction was a combination of water-weakened or defective pilings/stilts, pushed by some 25-foot waves (or higher), but I am renaming the section to leave the matter open (as more NPOV neutral):
Similar problems happened in Katrina, when buildings utilized to measure storm-surge levels were damaged, leading to a policy of "oops, need to get bigger surge-measurement buildings" and such. Hopefully, "Questionable" will keep the topic more open for long-term updates. - Wikid77 ( talk) 08:58, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
ImprobableSage added a mention in 3 articles of the destruction of the Texas City Dike. An anonymous poster reversed two of these. I looked at the video shown on the USA Today site, undid the reversion, and because at the time I couldn't find a reliable link to it on the USA Today site, I linked instead to the same video on YouTube. It is watermarked USA Today. Another anonymous poster has now marked my reference [unreliable source?]. Here is a link to the same video on two genuine USA Today sites:

-- PeterR ( talk) 21:32, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
On the other hand the Weather Blog, with aerial photo of landward end of dike says: "The dike protected the city, although it did sustain some damage." -- PeterR ( talk) 21:39, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Do with these what you will:
Excerpt: "The report, based on inspections of 774,000 of the county’s 994,000 residential units from Sept. 23 through Nov. 13, is the most comprehensive assessment to date of the destruction caused by Ike, although it’s limited to residential damage in Harris County."
If you care to do so, add its information to this article. davidwr/( talk)/( contribs)/( e-mail) 14:46, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Bolivar Peninsula was leveled by Hurricane Ike, and its mention has been missed. - Sidelight 12 Talk 06:42, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
Ok, it was there. Some idiot vandalized the page. I undid this !@#%@#$%^. - Sidelight 12 Talk 08:41, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
