I know many of you are probably following what Ike has done to the Galveston/Houston area. A good resource for local info is the local NBC affiliate. They have been doing live round-the-clock coverage on their web site at this link.
Power if off all over and the emergency services people are just now able to begin to get out. An old Houston downtown landmark restaurant, Brennen's, burned during the night and a famous Galveston landmark was taken out by storm surge.
We've heard from some of our friends via text message, and they seem to be OK. Now begins the assessment, cleanup, repair, and rebuilding. One newscaster said after Alicia in 1983 it took 8 months to get all the debris cleaned up.
I'm thankful that property damage is the leading story instead of massive loss of life.
