A Texas email update from a friend.

Hey there...
We got nothing from IKE here, not even any rain.

Houston, Beaumont and Galveston got hit really bad. Although Galveston Island held up pretty good, alot of the buildings are still standing. Houston has alot of damage, windows blown out and structure damage. Beaumont and Orange area got it the worst with the flooding. Orange is where my sister Shelia lives, they evacuated and went to Ft Worth area . They have been told that it might be 2 months before they can go home.
There's a cemetery in Orange that the coffin's were above ground. One was in the middle of the road.
