Ike Does Not Like Islands

We started the day off at 6am in San Antonio. We were told to be up and ready to run at 6. In reality we finally left SA at noon. We have been sent to Houston to stage to support the rescue effort here. Some areas of downtown are flooded, trees and power lines are down and power is out, and there is a lot of damage. Pretty sobering to see firsthand. At least its not raining now. Galveston is basically under at least 3 feet of water. Completely. Beaumont got hit hard too...we left there just in time. I dont know how long I will be here in Houston. We will see....
