This couple I spoke to live in Galveston and they are sitting on only one of very few of these cement benches left. Most of the other benches were across the street, down towards the middle of town, etc... Anyway, they were out there just to talk and get away from their home that was badly damaged. The beach would have gone out past the sign and the man on the little strip of sand in that area was just looking for bodies that tend to wash up on shore each day. We all three talked and cried but they will rebuild. The community is trying to come together and to help each other the best that they can. It will be a long time before things are back to normal.
