Hurricane Ike Aftermath PhotosThe Big Picture blog is probably my favorite new blog of the year and it's Hurricane Ike aftermath photos are downright amazing (and depressing). TheDren had to evacuate, and while things are slowly returning to normal for him, things will never quite be the same. Posted by Jake on 09/15/08 @ 04:30 PM

For anyone watching this on the national news, it is as bad as they say, but only in isolated areas. Galveston, Bolivar and Surfside are all pretty much wiped out. In areas that are not near the cost, like where I live, the destruction is very random. For example, on my street there are 7 homes. I have by far the most extensive damage. 2 other houses have roof damage, 3 have fences down, another house had their swing set vanish. I have some photos to add to the blog, but don't have enough bandwidth on this air card to try to upload them. This is much worse than Hurricane Alicia was 25 years ago, yet it was a weaker storm. Very odd thing indeed. If anyone wants to see local coverage of the hurricane, the Houston Chronicle website is pretty good, it can be found at: http://www.chron.com/ I actually consider myself quite lucky, there are a lot of folks a lot worse off than my family. Nathan said on 09/16/08 @ 07:08 PM: Dren: My heart goes out to you. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts. Jake: The guy responsible for that project is Alan Taylor. I've had the pleasure of speaking with him once or twice over the years about various web enhancements. You should check out his web site, http://www.kokogiak.com. His Amazon Light (I prefer it over the real thing) , Mega Penny Project and Cassini pics are awesome. I've burned a lot of time on there.... Post a comment |
