My parents are in visiting me for the next few weeks so i took them around. I went to Galveston, TX and the destruction that Hurricane Ike brought was pretty grusome. The stretch of houses that I saw, nothing was spared besides the foundation.

There used to be beach houses that ran along that beach. notice the power lines that ran down that street on the far right?

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching. I can think of a few things to be thankful for after seeing those pictures.
