Hurricane Ike’s Aftermath

I’m so worried about all those people who lived in Galveston and Houston now that Hurricane Ike has devastated southern Texas.

I’ve been watching CNN for coverage of the storm the past two days and the damage is just shocking. It looks like almost every home on Galveston has been reduced to a pile of splintered lumber, and some homes are nothing but a concrete foundation. It’s so sad and upsetting to think that thousands of people have lost their homes and possessions to the wind, rain and flooding that happened one day and then stopped. Like a door that slams shut and leaves the room deadly quiet.
