One of the beauties of Bolivar Peninsula is our Sunrise over the Texas Gulf and Sunset over East or Galveston Bay. It's a daily view of both not to miss while visiting our 27 miles of paradise. On another note, Hwy 87 Opened Yesterday about 1pm, when we received a call from TxDot

Hwy 124 has been closed since Saturday due to Tropical Storm Imelda. Barricades are still up but, we're seeing all kinds of vehicles coming and going as we head to FM 1985 where the deepest area is.

With barricades from TxDot still in place and Hwy 124 marked as closed, many in trucks are making sure they don't miss another day of work, appointments and deliveries to and from Bolivar Peninsula.

Despite no rain, and now sunny skies, flood waters still are holding on Hwy 124 in Chambers County not far from the galveston County Line. Hopes are barricades will be brought down before the weekend and it looks like it will hope fully.

With flooding rain from Imelda, Hwy 124 was closed Saturday do to rising water making it impassable for even the biggest vehicle. Now two days later the flooding water has dropped to 24" but with a stiff cross current still is closed and impassable for cars, light trucks and many other vehicles. Watch as David and Bolivar LIVE gives you front row coverage at the start of this flooding event.
