A drive from Winnie to Rollover Pass through High Island and down Highway 87 shows the awesome power of Hurricane Ike its wind, storm surge, and waves... to really understand the destruction, one needs to have seen it before the storm... it appears the houses that were on high enough stilts to be above the storm surge, fared best.. one web site said the majority of damage was done by a 14 foot storm surge and 15 foot plus waves..
