Remaining LIVE WEB CAMS show Damage in HURRICANE IKE Ravaged HOUSTON TEXAS

With Most of the HOUSTON and GALVESTON TEXAS Region without power, surveying 
the DAMAGE with WEB CAMS is rater difficult as without POWER, one cannot see WEB
CAMERA's Even if the WEB CAMERA's have Back up power, the issiue lies in the
internet service to the area. With poles down everywhere due to the high winds,
active WEB CAMERA's in the HOUSTON TEXAS and GALVESTON TEXAS area a pretty much
dead. Particularly when you get closer to the GULF OF MEXICO Coastline.

Not to worry though, HTBW Has once again
scoured the internet to find a few live web camera's in the HOUSTON TEXAS
region. Although these camera's are in the less damaged area's you can
definately see the damage of hanging traffic lights and fallen poles.

The eye of the hurricane missed the
center of Houston, as well as the largest concentrations of oil and gas
refineries, Johnson said. The storm surge and rainfall in Galveston, Texas,
were also weaker than predicted.

Galveston, however, remains flooded and
refineries as far east as Louisiana have been affected. While preliminary
estimates put the damage at $8 billion or more, the storm isn't over.



Retail gasoline prices jumped Saturday based on
Ike's collision with refinery rich regions of Texas and Louisiana,
threatening to shut down a variety of energy complexes in the Gulf of Mexico
for days.

Some refineries may remain shut-in for days, even if there was
no serious wind damage or flooding. Gas prices nationwide rose nearly 6
cents a gallon to $3.733, according to industry data.


Service stations around Texas and elsewhere raised prices sharply even
before the storm hit, and lines to fill up could be seen as far away as
Dallas.

HURRICANE IKE 



Ike was about twice the size of Hurrcane Gustav,
which rammed into the Louisiana shore two weeks ago. While the storm surge
was less severe than what had been predicted, National Weather Service
officials said a the highest — a surge of about 13.5 feet — was seen at
Sabine Pass in Texas.

Windows were ripped out of office buildings in
downtown Houston. At the 75-story JPMorganChase tower, the tallest building
in Texas, curtains could be seen flapping in the breeze and glass shards
littered the streets below.

Power was out in much of Houston, although the
lights stayed on in the city's huge medical center, a sprawling complex with
about a dozen hospitals that attract patients from around the world.
