Publisher's Synopsis
News of Hurricane Ike's impending catastrophic landfall on Texas' Gulf Coast resembled the "Crying Wolf" residents experienced many times in year's past. A Catagory 2 storm had always proved nonthreatening and I had no intention of running again only to be tied up in traffic lines for 20 hours just to travel a distance that normally took five hours to drive. The inconvenience and financial expenses for lodging, food, and gas seem to outway the mandatory evacuation. These photos are a journal of events that preceeded and aftermath of Hurricane Ike's uninvited visit to Galveston Island, Bolivar Peninsula and surrounding communities.
