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.
MORE TEXAS COAST WEB CAMERA'S BELOW

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.

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. |
