The Strength of Mother Nature...

This is crazy! Hurricane Ike has caused horrific damage to Texas. The natural disaster has completely cleared entire towns! Leaving such a degree of devastation, that there are even reports that the news media aren't being allowed to report on it in depth.

As frustrations mount over delays in providing basic supplies to survivors of Hurricane Ike, the first glimpses of previously inaccessible areas revealed a string of ghost towns reduced to rubble.

Until Monday, authorities prevented residents and media from entering or flying over areas of the Bolivar Peninsula, a sliver of sand that sits across Galveston Bay from the city of Galveston.

Bolivar may have been the hardest hit by Ike's 110 mph winds and estimated 16-foot storm surge. Towns all along the peninsula were virtually flattened by the treacherous winds, rain and floods from Hurricane Ike.
