~Terrebonne Parish suffered major flooding when Hurricane Ike made landfall near Galveston, Texas, Saturday, Sept. 13. All of the parish's levees were overtopped during the storm, some for almost two days, two levees were breached by floodwaters and one pump station nearly collapsed. ~Graphic by Robert Holst
