Hurricane Ike ripped up the Hilton Hotel on Clear Lake. Here are some damage pictures.

 

Huge panels were stripped off the front. The lobby ceiling colapsed and it was like a wind tunnel, with debris racing out the front door.

Beside the hotel, storm surge pushed Clear Lake high over its normal banks. A parking Garage flooded and a boat washed in what was a parking lot.

 

Storm surge and heavy winds leave Houston with MANY problems today.
