3/4 inch hail forecasted for this afternoon. Ouch... that'll cause some
insurance claims

It's unlikely to pan out that way in Galveston, though. I can't say it
will never happen - but in all the time I lived in the Houston area, I
never saw *any* hail significantly further south of downtown. It's in
the forecast plenty of times though, but it rarely actually falls on the
Gulf coast. On the other hand, golf ball sized hail on the north side of
Houston - I called 1-800-WXBRIEF once when trying to get into the area
and was advised that a King Air had encountered 'large hail'. I bet
there were a few broken windows and dents in that plane.

Galveston is definitely on my "places to fly" list. It really sounds nice.

It is awfully shabby though. I don't know why property there sells for
so much, the place still looked very run down when I was there in early
Feburary. However, it is worth visiting for the Lone Star Flight Museum
and Moody Gardens, and you can get a good dinner there.
