Neal is probably at work today ... I think he works at a refinery on the ship channel, so it might be a while before we get those pictures.

Looking forward to seeing them though

Texas and a large part of the nation is still digging out of hurricane Ike: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/16/us/16Ike.html?ref=us

HOUSTON — State officials continued the largest rescue operation in Texas history on Monday, taking thousands of people by boat and helicopter out of flood-ravaged towns on the coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. At the same time, millions of others coped without electricity and faced shortages of food, water and gasoline.

So far, the colossal storm has been blamed for at least 30 deaths in eight states across the United States, including seven in Texas, six in Louisiana and one in Arkansas, The Associated Press reported. Many of the deaths occurred in states far from the Gulf Coast, as Ike, now a tropical depression, cut a path through the Midwest, knocking down trees, flooding streets, and destroying homes.
