Hurricane IKE

Hurricane IKE came running through Texas several weeks ago. I have some dear friends that suffered devastating damage along the Gulf Coast. One friend had a beach house at Crystal Beach - it's gone, nothing left. It's like mother nature took an eraser to the land. I had spent many good times at the beach house and also camping along the beach there in my pop-up camper. Another friend owns a bar in the historic strand district of Galveston - his bar had eight feet of water in it. Another close friend, the downstairs of her bungalow suffered extensive water damage. Here are some pictures of better times along the coast camping out http://tinyurl.com/3odndp
