Bay Harbor

On September 13, 2008 Hurricane Ike slammed into Galveston Island causing great destruction, property damage, injury and death. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost their property, homes, and loved ones.

The BHIA website will post information that may be of interest to our residents and neighbors regarding this tragic event.

Click on the file links above and save the file to your computer. Note that these are large files and so may take 20-30 minutes to download, depending on the speed of your internet connection. When download is complete open this standard .avi movie file in Windows Media Player or a similar movie player to view it. Note that Media Player allows you much flexibility in order to stop, back up and review the image frames as you wish. If the download times are too large, I have extracted snapshots from these video files into an album below which is much faster to view.
