Ike.

Three years, two weeks, and one day later, hurricane Ike followed up Katrina in a devastating blow to the Southeast.  During Hurricane Katrina, I watched every event as it unfolded, and cried with the rest of the country . My heart ached…so much that I had to force myself not to watch anymore. 

When hurricane Ike hit, I was so busy that I only got to watch the news a couple days later.  New Orleans was sparred, but the part of Texas on the gulf was ravished.  Officials say that power and water may not be restored for weeks in parts of Texas.  Rescue teams are looking for people who ignored the mandatory evcuations(90,000), and rescued 3,500 people alone on Wednesday. The death toll may take months to determine because of the possibility of people being washed out to sea.

My heart goes out to those who live in Texas, and those who are affected by this terrible storm. 

These pictures I pulled from MSN, show the gigantic magnitude and force of Hurricane Ike.
