Link to photos of Hurricane Ike

by General E. Speaking, RN Premium Member

Someone emailed me this link. I thought you might be interested. Thankfully the storm moved further to the right and we received only strong winds and heavy rains. We were on the "clean side". Our area got mostly power outages and some roof and fence damage. Of course, gas is scare. We are west of Houston and 70 miles inland.

I'm not sure those of you who are not in this part of the country can understand the impact. The local news has been running 24/7 with coverage. Currently, the problems are the bottle-necking on I-45 of people trying to get back to the coast to check on their property. The influx of people are inhibiting the power trucks and emergency vehicles from getting in. There are still people on Galveston Island who rode out the storm and refuse to leave or have no means of leaving because their cars were flooded.

In the words of my nine year old, "Holy shoot"!

Our thoughts are with those facing recovery and rebuilding after Ike. And bless all of you nurses who were there before, during, and after.

Our community was on the edge of keeping power. In Navasota, Grimes County, most people were without power and we had to receive hospital patients to our hospital on the day of the hurricane. Bryan/College Station was spared but I know many who were affected and I know it will take a long time to repair. American citizens are resilient and will recover. I know in our town, evacuees are still here and they are hanging tough.
