Assessing Ike's Flood Damage
~A strong category two, Hurricane Ike pushed a projected 11 and a half feet of storm surge on Southwest Louisiana. "There are projections that suggest a category 3 hurricane making landfall a little bit closer to this area would have actually posted storm surge even higher. And that creates concern," said Lake Charles Mayor Randy Roach.
A familiar scene: Convoy leaves today heading for Galveston
~City leaders here are packing up and headed to Galveston, Texas, armed with three years' worth of hurricane-recovery experience. Mayor Brent Warr said a convoy from Gulfport will leave today to help guide the storm-battered island through the early days of recovery." There are a lot of things we would've done differently in those early days after Katrina," Warr said. "And we're basically just going there to help answer questions and help them push through the (red tape)."
