HURRICANE IKE

I worked in Houston and Galveston, TX this week. I saw the affects of Hurricane Ike. I'll explain the photos, as much as I can, but I think the visuals say more than I can.


There were boats washed up against the freeway.




Trash and stuff hadn't been cleaned up yet, but came from the water surge pushing it up against any immovable surface, where it came to rest.




Yep...boats in the freeway.




More boats. By the way, we're not even close to the water here.




Trash pushed up all over.




When the City was able to finally get to some of the piles of stuff that was all over Galveston, they would bring it to this field, where it was stacked until they could move it to a permanent location.




Crap in the front yard.




Pushed by the force of rushing water, this fence was covered with trash and tipped over.




We were unable to get gas or a Diet Coke at this Gas Station/Food Mart.




Piles o' stuff.


For a better view of the devastation, click on each photo and it will enlarge to allow you to get a good look.

What a mess...and a miracle that more people weren't killed.
