Doesn't matter the category of Ike, it was extremely powerful and did a LOT of damage and there were many deaths as well. Those 3 weeks my daughter and I were in Austin were not really "enjoyable" but I sure as hell was not going to be here but coming home to actually see my home untouched was a miracle from God though. The reason it did so much damage and there were tornadoes and such was the eye of Ike was enormous and it was all over the news, every channel, if you were lucky to get a signal.
@Avatarblackwolf,how could u say that?Katrina was a cat.5.unlike Ike,it destroyed everyone's homes and people didn't have a place to live.so of course u wouldn't feel like that bcuz obviously u haven't been through it.
Let me guess,u from Houston?not trying to be mean to u,you are untitled to your own opinion.
I agree with yosefskato I was playin beer pong in league city waitin for him to come ashore. Driving around in it was fun i wish I would have taken videos but I was too busy tryin to avoid falling trees lol literally
@bluecruise the sign was pretty big and the light was heavy lol. I was gonna walk with it all the way home. but i didnt wanna look like an idiot so i got my truck
After Hurricane Ike The good citizens of Galveston got together, got organised, and got busy. By contrast the "good citizens" of New Orleans did nothing but cry and wait for the federal government bureaucracy to mismanage, mishandle, and spend untold millions and then be soundly and roundly criticized for their half-hearted effort
Just proves you can get more accomplished with a hammer in your hand than a crack pipe.
ehh.. I live in texas. barely 2 miles north of houston so I don't know everything about Galveston but the hurricane still affected my life. But you have to understand that hurricane katrina did considerably more damage than Ike did. In new orleans, they had levee failures, 1800 total deaths whereas Ike claimed around 34 lives. Not to mention Katrina's intensity peaked right on top of louisiana. Ike's peak wasnt even on the continent. Im sure you can see how it may have been more difficult for LA
the "good citizens" of New Orleans did nothing but cry and wait for the federal government bureaucracy to mismanage, mishandle, and spend untold millions and then be soundly and roundly criticized for their half-hearted effort
@Avatarblackwolf you are an idiot, plain and simple. Katrina devasted those people..how can you take a hammer in hand to a home that isnt standing? How dare you imply that they are on crack. Its comments like yours that really show how racism is still looming over us today. I hope you never have to go through what the people of New Orleans had to go through, not only were they treated as less than Americans but they were cast as low-lifes. Nobody deserves that
@jobuck87 you are an asshole plain and simple. They had a 4-5 day warning that storm was coming. Did they understand to leave? NO! Did you see the story on the news how they were shooting at the helicopters that were trying to land to bring food, water etc?how can you take a hammer in hand to a home that isnt standing? You rebuild the house, dont stand & cry & whine about it! Fix it! 12.27.10 we had over 15in of snow dumped on us, what did we do? got busywith the shovels & snow blowers.
@jobuck87 We did not wait for the Gob'ment, we took care of it, you should have been here for the blizzard of 1978, did we wait for the Gob'ment? NO! I was raised to take care of it myself. Sounds like you were not.
Oh and please tell me what I said that is racism? Did I say anything at all about race? No, liberal fuck sticks like you always play the race card. Now please go fuck yourself with your deck of race cards.
@Avatarblackwolf --your comments and your language alone speaks volumes of the kind of racist piece of crap that you are..purposely spelling government as gob'ment...like people cannot see through that racist garbage you are spewing..tell you what, since you seem to think that these people are beneath you why dont you catch the next space shuttle to the moon and live there? BTW having a warning does not mean that you can always get away, some of them had no choice but to stay...idiot
@Avatarblackwolf...wtf??calling you an idiot and a piece of crap makes me a racist?? are you mental? nevermind dont answer that. I see how educated you are by your comments and the fact that your vocabulary is less than miniscule. I guess it is the inbreeding right? Say what you want, think what you want, its your right as an American. I wont read nor respond to anything else you have to say.
@jobuck87 I said these people were on crack and you called me a racist? So you call me a idiot and a piece of crap so you are a racist.....and a dumbass.
I was here and it was awful, absolutely awful. Around 3 am I heard a whistling sound over my roof. Shortly afterwards a 70 ft pine fell on the back of my house. It made a hole in the ceiling of a bedroom and looked like an evil demonic finger protruding into the house. The rain came after and I was scrambling for buckets. No power for two whole weeks - bugs came into the house -all I could hear were the neighbors generators making a racket -too hot to sleep -it was pure hell!
Ike was a seriously fierce storm! I wish I lived where you live DHK59..my house flooded and my part of town had serious damage with trees on houses so it was not back to normal until about January and my neighbors got back into their house at the end of June (like 2 months ago). There is a house two blocks over that was totally destroyed when two trees fell on it. The one across the street had their chimney torn off by a tree. It was a really wild night!
well, i live in sugarland n it was so crazy! can u like belive a like huge trampoline flying into my backyard 4rm my neighbors? well ya dat happened! the noise n da wind was the worst part! by like 6:30 me n my friend could basically fly!
With myself being from Dallas I wouldnt know what that was like, but I have friends in Houston that decided to wait it out. They used their neighbors (who left) generator for power and their school was out for weeks
It was bad for us, and people are still trying to get on there feet after Ike it, some of us were out of power for 3 weeks or even longer!!! plus it was a mad house trying to get water, food, because there was no power!!, Ike was pretty bad!!!, and I don't want to see a storm like that again, before you comment on things you don't know!!!, do some rereach first before you say!!! " Houston did not get that bad of damange"!!! if you don't live in Houston or Galvistan, then you have no idea!!.
i did not get fuckin power till the middle of October in Northwest Houston And my parents beach house in jamica beach was wiped out as well around 1 in the mornin on Ella Bld i had to haull a pick up truck out of the street becuase they got stuck tryin to get home not to mention dumb asses tryin to brake in to my house early in the morning i been threw a worse hurricane try hurricane mitch so dont tell me anything
Dude, I'm from Houston. And I was there, when the storm hit. My family and I, decided to wait the storm out. Trust me, Houston got hit really bad...along with Galveston. The scariest part of the Hurricane, was the noise the winds were making. It was so creepy. Also, when the storm hit, my apartment was literally shaking. I aint go lie, I was scared shitless.
so did i hauld out a truck during the hurcciane i was kind of scared becuase water was raising very qucikly and i ended up screwed up my ratiator when i got done and they try braking in to my house around 5 in the mornin
Yeah same here bro, it was a nightmare. Hopefully not the hurricane come here again :'(. September is unlucky month for houston and is approaching so fast....
I was filming the damages of my house*after ike passed* and the cops confiscatied my camera.X-x Luckily I had the other filechip, with the videos I have now.
I keep having this dream that a huge hurricane is going to hit houston, weird thing is that the hurricane formed in 30 min and was going to make landfall on Houston in 1 hour, category 6. Everyone was going crazy and was trying to leave. The winds were breaking windows before the hurricane made landfall. Now this is the really weird part,,, my mom had the same dream the same night.
That's classy. I'm sure you are safe and sound in your skanky moms mobile home eating your fatty foods purchased with food stamps, but they are soft foods because that's all your can chew with your last four teef. Come out and pussboy.

I dont understand why if you american people are suffering your are still being like that racist with other people, you dont like thinking, you are selfish...
racist with who? Yeah there are some racists morons in america,but i guess your country, mexico, must also be racist, since they get hurricanes too... we aren't the only ones that are selfish either(see: humanity). And not thinking? yeah you mexicans can talk about not thinking "lets go to america and give them problems instead of solving our problems here" >.>
You're looking at video of Houston which is 65 miles inland, Ike wiped places like Gilchrist completely off the map. Educate yourself some time, Katrina and Ike did very similar damage to the areas where they made landfall.
Downtown Houston to Galveston Island is 1 hour at the most, it's about 65 miles from downtown to the seawall as the crow flies. Check it on mapquest, it's nowhere near 150 miles.
unfortunately I am still without power and water... going on day 14...But it was a neat storm. I'll have a video up from my house whenever i find my camera.
I know what they mean. And you should too. We depend on power. Oh, and don't forget about the food! $ down the drain. The fridge still smells wierd. I need some baking soda.
Glen Cambell song... Good one. We just got our power back yesterday, Thank GOD. We were out of power 10day. I went through Alicia in 83' and it was 10 days then too. I pray everyone out there is doing ok. We Texans are tough and everyone pulled together the day after and cleaned up. It was realy cool see everyone pull together. Peace Out.
I'm so glad FEMA has come to our rescue! I've been without power for a week. It's all water underneath the bridge, and my life is now back to normal now.
In 1983 hurricane Alicia I had no power for 3 days living in the woodland heights. For hurricane Ike it was 10 days with no power living in the north side of town. I'm thankful it wasn't worst then is was.
So where is Oprah and all the folks who screamed racism was the reason for the NewOrleans mess? Where are all the fundraisers to to help this state? The people of Texas are devastated just as bad- even worse given most are not on the government dole, and the silence by the very people who blamed the aftermath on 'white' government is deafening. Isn't is obvious, that sometimes, depending on where you live, is more to "blame" than any faction of government?
thank you it seems all the media was worried about was a good look for them..."see what we id" type attitude...I just got lights Friday, the 19th, but there are lots of people still without, where are the concerts and fundraisers for Texas?
You can not compare Ike to Katrina. Katrina was not to blame for the devistation in New Orleans, the fact the Levy broke was. If the levy had held Katrina would not even be talked about anymore. I feel bad for anyone who lost their home in New Orleans but they are the ones who opted not to pay to fix the levy. People in Galveston build a wall just for that reason , and Ike slammed right over the wall. People on Crystal Beach, that's where the real loss in life and prop was , not Houston.
I think you mistook what I said, I was not coming Ike to Katrina in terms of devastation, they were both unbelievable...as for my comment I wanted to know why celebrities and the like did not jump on board with concerts and what not to raise money for those folk in our most devastated areas in Texas...where was the media?
It took a week to get power back on in this area. A crew from California came and got it up for us. Everyone , make sure you thank the guys who came from all over to help us out.
We actually had power back on Thursday but some dweeb in Centerpoint failed to flick the right switch and not until I called to tell them I saw the crew out working that day and all the uninhabited areas around us had lights did they check and figure it out. Oops. So in two hours after I called, we got lights. At least the neighbors got out their grills and frozen meat and we had steaks, ribs , sausage and all kinds of cuts all through the wait! Ate great this week and didn't need MRE's.
my parents were pissed when the lights came back on because they just bought a new generater to replace our other one that had blown out and doesn't work.
not 30 mins. after hucking it up then the lights came on.
true. but we dont always have em we mostly have em in the summer. and yea this summer was a huge fire. and no rain. =( thats wat i hate bout cali no rain in summer no snow in winter.
im glad i dont live in texas! i live in cali so i never was in a hurricane. and i also heard that another hurricane is coming! its called um Josephine i think.
Well Californias are moving in by the truckload everyday. So you can stay in CA if you want. I am so glad I don't live in CA. You guys are constantly having fires and earthquakes. I rather have the rain.
Well Californias are moving in by the truckload everyday. So you can stay in CA if you want. I am so glad I don't live in CA. You guys are constantly having fires and earthquakes. I rather have the rain.
fuck still got no power! running on the generator............., anyone know when were getting power in humble county, shit we need a/c. check out the footage i got on my channel
Just got my power back about 2 hours ago. Amazing. I live just 15 minutes north of harris county. I have only had the radio to keep me informed. This is the first I've seen of Houston as I have not ventured further than Humble since the Hurricane hit. You guys should see stuff on the outskirts. What you see in this video is NOTHING. I'm talking houses crushed, trees knocked down every other house, power lines and transformers on the streets of small neighborhoods. My area got ravaged.
i just got power too i am so happy to be on this computer being in that hurricane was not good no power for five days for me and no water for 2 days and it was not good good this its over and good luck with people who doesnt have power.
And i got power back about five hours ago.YOU never know how important something truly is until you don't have it.We went without power for 5 and one half days.I was glad when things retuned to normal.Never take things for GRANTED!!
Woooo! IKE was nothin'! I live in Houston and was without power from friday to sunday, bad weekend. But now it's all good, besides the food rationing we have to do.
All my family is in Houston, Pasadena and Spring... anyone know how Pasadena fared? I can't get in touch with anyone there.
This is like watching videos of a warzone, its insane. I grew up around T.C. Jester and Ella... right on the bayou. Is it still estimated to be two weeks until power is back?
Mayor White has been on top of things when it comes to shortening the estimated time its going to take power to be restored. Last I heard on the radio, Centerpoint shortened it to two weeks, and Entergy still has the 4wk estimation. (Entergy got hit hard.) Pasadena got hit good, but it wasn't horrible. We've all had a curfew, and cell phones are sporadic when it comes to reception. If you can send your family a text, they should be able to reply.
I'm still without power at my house (posting from work). What humidity? It's nice and cool right now with low humidity. Now after Rita it sucked without power. That was hot and humid.
Some power has been restored. I live in the Bay area--eye went right over my house--no power as of today--I45 closed just south of me(518)--we evacuated thurs 09-11 to Bryan--still in Bryan--most are leaving area now due to no power,water and sewage issues--food supply is low and FEMA is running out...
Why feel bad? I live in Houston and folks here should accept what can potentionally happen here. I have and I'm willing to take the consequences. Screw FEMA and all the other help crap. Pack enough food, water, and gas before hand to make due. A little self reliance is a amazing thing.
Doesn't matter the category of Ike, it was extremely powerful and did a LOT of damage and there were many deaths as well. Those 3 weeks my daughter and I were in Austin were not really "enjoyable" but I sure as hell was not going to be here but coming home to actually see my home untouched was a miracle from God though.

racist with who? Yeah there are some racists morons in america,but i guess your country, mexico, must also be racist, since they get hurricanes too... we aren't the only ones that are selfish either(see: humanity). And not thinking? yeah you mexicans can talk about not thinking "lets go to america and give them problems instead of solving our problems here" >.>

You're looking at video of Houston which is 65 miles inland, Ike wiped places like Gilchrist completely off the map. Educate yourself some time, Katrina and Ike did very similar damage to the areas where they made landfall.

65 miles no like 150 it takes like to hours to get to galveston
barney2rebbels 3 years ago
Downtown Houston to Galveston Island is 1 hour at the most, it's about 65 miles from downtown to the seawall as the crow flies. Check it on mapquest, it's nowhere near 150 miles.

So where is Oprah and all the folks who screamed racism was the reason for the NewOrleans mess? Where are all the fundraisers to to help this state? The people of Texas are devastated just as bad- even worse given most are not on the government dole, and the silence by the very people who blamed the aftermath on 'white' government is deafening. Isn't is obvious, that sometimes, depending on where you live, is more to "blame" than any faction of government?

thank you it seems all the media was worried about was a good look for them..."see what we id" type attitude...I just got lights Friday, the 19th, but there are lots of people still without, where are the concerts and fundraisers for Texas?
SugarShandy 3 years ago
You can not compare Ike to Katrina. Katrina was not to blame for the devistation in New Orleans, the fact the Levy broke was. If the levy had held Katrina would not even be talked about anymore. I feel bad for anyone who lost their home in New Orleans but they are the ones who opted not to pay to fix the levy. People in Galveston build a wall just for that reason , and Ike slammed right over the wall. People on Crystal Beach, that's where the real loss in life and prop was , not Houston.
becky2u1970 3 years ago
I think you mistook what I said, I was not coming Ike to Katrina in terms of devastation, they were both unbelievable...as for my comment I wanted to know why celebrities and the like did not jump on board with concerts and what not to raise money for those folk in our most devastated areas in Texas...where was the media?

remixer412 3 years ago
We actually had power back on Thursday but some dweeb in Centerpoint failed to flick the right switch and not until I called to tell them I saw the crew out working that day and all the uninhabited areas around us had lights did they check and figure it out. Oops. So in two hours after I called, we got lights. At least the neighbors got out their grills and frozen meat and we had steaks, ribs , sausage and all kinds of cuts all through the wait! Ate great this week and didn't need MRE's.
nomadnametab 3 years ago
i just now got it back but it was kind of funny.
my parents were pissed when the lights came back on because they just bought a new generater to replace our other one that had blown out and doesn't work.

Just got my power back about 2 hours ago. Amazing. I live just 15 minutes north of harris county. I have only had the radio to keep me informed. This is the first I've seen of Houston as I have not ventured further than Humble since the Hurricane hit. You guys should see stuff on the outskirts. What you see in this video is NOTHING. I'm talking houses crushed, trees knocked down every other house, power lines and transformers on the streets of small neighborhoods. My area got ravaged.

This is like watching videos of a warzone, its insane. I grew up around T.C. Jester and Ella... right on the bayou. Is it still estimated to be two weeks until power is back?
hankied 3 years ago
Mayor White has been on top of things when it comes to shortening the estimated time its going to take power to be restored. Last I heard on the radio, Centerpoint shortened it to two weeks, and Entergy still has the 4wk estimation. (Entergy got hit hard.) Pasadena got hit good, but it wasn't horrible. We've all had a curfew, and cell phones are sporadic when it comes to reception. If you can send your family a text, they should be able to reply.
