Imagine 2 hours to get gasoline, then another hour or 2 for some food and ice?
That’s life in many parts of Houston after Ike!
This relief station is in Nassau Bay near Clear Lake. It was an evacuated zip code area.
Many homes without power now suffered only minor damage and people are back in them trying to get by.
Homes closest to the water are heavily damaged and unlivable.
People at this condo complex have been given 48 hours to salvage what they can and leave indefinately.
The place has shattered walls and boats littering the parking lot. Ike will not be quickly forgotten here.

It is sad to see the story of the recovery being lost to excessive coverage on the economic reorganization. Hopefully, the problems being experienced by the people in Texas will not be forgotten by the local, regional and national leadership.
Here in the midwest we still have big problems due to flooding and record rainfalls, but we have nothing compared to your issues. Hopefully your power will be restored soon, because without power your quality of life is very difficult.
