I don't think the rest of the country really knows how much damage IKE did. The impact in this area is tremendous. I still can't believe what a monster storm that was. That 1st picture of the Galveston memorial of woman and baby is one of the best pictures and scariest. The power of water is amazing.

I know I'll never forget the night of IKE.

I could open it. The damage is so huge. I cannot even imagine what it must have been like for you to go through the storm. You are in my thoughts.

red98vett · 09-27-2008, 03:36 AM

The body search is now ongoing and they're finding them.

People are still without power and food and everywhere you look - debris.

My stomach actually started knotting up all over again looking at these pictures. These are the bridges a mile from my home. The Rainbow Bridge and the Veteran's Memorial Bridge. On the other side, Bridge City where my brother lives. He lost everything. The gator is a familiar site on the bayou, now in many yards. The search and rescue shot I found on the internet, they are headed into Bridge City.

red98vett · 09-27-2008, 04:19 AM

me too Denise. I've never been scared like I was the night it hit and this is my 3rd hurricane.

We knew it was going to be bad but people didn't expect the mass devestation ....You can't even drive down a street here in Houston without seeing damage...power still isn't on for many

We're going to be paying for Ike for a long time to come and my heart goes out to all those who lost everything. I can't imagine having no home

Wow those pictures really made me realise just how devastating this storm truly was!

The power and magnitude are mind numbing.

shirlblack · 09-27-2008, 05:50 AM

This is so sad and the rest of us can't imagine what it was like. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone that is living through this nightmare.

sammiz · 09-27-2008, 03:58 PM

I looked at every one of these images. How heartwrenching.

My nephew is involved in rescue went there from Maryland to help in the aftermath.

I sorrow for all that have been caught up in this devastation.

Zanders' mom · 09-27-2008, 05:26 PM

How awesome that your nephew drove All the way from MD to help with the search and rescue.
I received that file a few days ago but I was only able to look at the 1st page, it was just too painful. I tried it again yesterday and made it to the last page, it was NOT easy.

I feel for those that have come back to look at their home, but there isn't one there for them. It must be a heart wrenching feeling. Those of us that had fence and roof damage are so incredibly blessed. Let us pray together for God to bring strength to the people who lost everything, to bring hope to these folks, so they can rebuild their lives, their homes.

sammiz · 09-27-2008, 05:31 PM

Yes...it was all very frightening. I was so worried about friends there. I have one that I stayed in contact with but didn't call her as much as I wanted to because I didn't want to be a burden as well, calling and calling. I stayed up most of the night watching the news. I was pretty stressed about those that didn't leave. Thank God the ones I know were okay.

jfalz73 · 09-27-2008, 06:04 PM

What a horrible storm that was....those pictures say it all! God Bless all those poor people that lost everything...

betsi · 09-27-2008, 06:21 PM

Isn't it amazing that we have all of this devastation, and most of the country doesn't even know because of how quickly the story was dropped by the national news??? It just makes me sick

It's 2 weeks after the storm and there are still staging areas (many) giving away hot meals, MRE's, paper towels, bottled water, garbage bags, ice and..and even the blessed diaper that so many need but have no money for because they lost so many days of work. Driving down the main street in Bridge City yesterday I saw a big piece of plywood leaned up against a church that said FREE HOT MEAL..WE FEED ANYONE. So many are so grateful. In the local papers the food stations are kept updated with locations and times.

It's the local churches, Red Cross and Salvation Army that are looking after us folks down here..FEMA is here to help with paperwork, but you gotta look for them. It IS a shame that it isn't being covered more than it has..I think we all know it's not going away anytime soon. My son and his little family have come home to a total loss and have had to head back to a hotel..finally found one 200 miles away in Baton Rouge. My two autistic grandsons are not handling it well.

I stayed awake most of the night as Ike rolled through The Woodlands, and heard lots of heavy knocks on my roof. Not wanting to get too close to the windows, I waited until daylight to survey the damage. The Woodlands only received 90-100 mph winds, but it was enough to put trees on and/or through my neighbors' roofs, and flood my yard to less than 3 inches below my floor level. Fortunately, the winds and the flooding subsided, but our neighborhood was inaccessible for a few days from felled trees, and as I finally was able to venture out into the area, I was shocked by the extent of the damage. It's true that if you don't actually experience it first-hand, you can have no idea what it's really like.
