Work is underway getting electrical power back to South Padre Island and accessing the damage. If you have a vacation planned for the coming weeks, check in with your accommodation for an update.
You’ll also find information on the current status of the island on these websites:
The Town of South Padre Island, http://www.townspi.com/
South Padre Island Convention and Visitors Bureau, http://www.sopadre.com

South Padre will be just fine. Things are already turning around as it was not as bad as predicted. If you are really interested in helping our economy, take a vacation there in the next few weeks. You will get great prices and find out what most Texans already know: South Padre has great people, seafood, and fishing.
Best,
Sam Malone
