I copied this from another forum:
Some of you know that the Lone Star Flight Museum is located in Galveston and they took a severe hit by Ike. A lot of their static planes got damaged, like the Catalina.
Here is a link to some photos of the damage:

On the positive side, prior to IKE’s arrival, pilots were able to fly their B-17, B-25, DC-3, P-47, F6F, F4U, SBD, PT-17, T-6 and the F8F out of harm’s way.
