Update
I went to Galveston today for the first time since Ike. I was especially struck by the loss of the 6 - 8 ' walls of oleanders - they have replanted them, but right now they are just little baby plants. And the oaks! I could weep - the whole city near as I can tell has lost 75 - 90% of their oaks. Beautiful old oaks - naked and dead. How in the world is the city going to a.)get them all down and b.) replace them? The Flagship Hotel is a wreck - and no signs of rebuilding. I didn't realize how badly damaged it was. The Strand looks pretty good - and houses in the historic district look good.
