Taken 3/31/21. Located in Galveston, Texas, this attraction features The Rainforest inside a pyramid building with 50 exhibits, and The Aquarium inside another pyramid building with 29 exhibits.
It was brutal! Moody Gardens has many palms in the parking areas and edges of the pyramids and they were all dead fronds!
 
@geomorph Up in Austin my apartment complex lost 50% of our plants. Especially those used for screening utility equipment. So now I got to look at those out my window :rolleyes:

I know the San Antonio Zoo's quick assessment after the storm said they lost more than $200,000 in plant life and that was while they were waiting to see if the palms recovered. I don't think there really is a zoo in Texas that got spared by the storm. I even saw damage down in the Rio Grande Valley.
