Community Memory · Galveston, Texas
Galveston Has Thousands of Ike Stories
Hurricane Ike changed Galveston forever. Those who lived through it have stories of their families, neighborhoods, homes and businesses that should not be forgotten.
Some lost homes. Some lost businesses. Some lost treasured possessions. Many remember helping neighbors, rebuilding together, and seeing our community's resilience.
We want to preserve these stories—not just as history, but as a reminder of why protecting Galveston matters.
Please share your Hurricane Ike story. With your permission, we may feature selected stories on this website to help educate others and inspire action to protect our island.
