Ike Inspired Copy

I've been working on several hurricane-related stories as the Greater Houston area continues to recover from Hurricane Ike's blow three weeks ago.

Here's a taste of what I've created. Happy reading!

We Survived Ike!

This nasty hurricane blew through Texas as a category 2 storm last week, leaving most of Houston without power and water. We were back up and running in four days, but many will not see power for another two weeks.

Those of us trying to get back to normalcy are still dealing with long gas lines (several hours), empty grocery store shelves, non-operational traffic signals and a citywide curfew.

Here are a few shots of some of the damage and flooding Houston sustained as a result of Ike.
