Yeah, ELECTRICITY!
One of my students was told he might not have power until NOVEMBER because some part they need has to be cast or manufactured or brought from Mars.  
As to ICE - it seems FEMA has trailers full of it, melting away, along with food and water that is NOT being delivered to those who need it (especially in Galveston and the surrounding area).
On the plus side, my big sis who lives in Kemah had NO damage - amazing.

Just wanted to let you Houstonites (or is it Houstonians?) know that you will be getting your grey squirrels back soon. Got a huge shipment in a couple of weeks ago (baby grey squirrels) and have been raising them (I have 4 living with me but that is just a drop in the bucket so to speak). They have such personality.

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.

I KNOW! Galveston is actually the "Oleander City" - and I could just cry. Tiny little baby plants are there - but coming over the causeway and not be greeted by the walls of Oleanders is very sad.
