galveston is mucky because it's so shallow - if you were to walk 5 miles from shore, you would never be more than 10 or 12 feet deep. Galveston Bay is very shallow, only around 9 feet deep, so once you get out of the bay and into the deep ocean, around 30 miles, the water won't be so muddy. I don't know whose webpage this is, but it's got some pretty good pictures of one of the beaches at Corpus Christi. http://home.att.net/~remediosc/beaches/b...
Residents of Galveston, a barrier island 50 miles south of downtown Houston, were warned by the National Weather Service they could face certain death, and were among the 1 million coastal residents ordered to flee. Galveston spokeswoman Mary Jo Naschke said about 25% of the city's 57,000 residents had not left.
