Despite orders to evacuate, as many as 140,000 people stayed in their Texas homes when hurricane Ike hit. Here is a collection of news items describing the aftermath of a Category 2 storm:

"Flooding, debris left by Hurricane Ike slowing rescue efforts" - CBS News, "the devastation is extensive"... "Waist-deep water and downed trees kept many rescuers from reaching people in Galveston." ... "a couple of barges had broken loose and smashed into homes" ...Some homes were "pancaked."

"In Hackberry, La. ... workers moved a large shrimp boat out of the highway with a bulldozer, but the team had to stop because of strong currents in the flood waters and difficulty in seeing the roadway." - AP

As the hurricane hit Friday night thousands of residents who stayed behind called 911. "What's really frustrating is that we can't get to them, [during the storm]" Galveston police officer Tommie Mafrei said. "They are naive about it, thinking it's not going to be that bad." - the Australian/AP

"A 4-year-old Houston boy died of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by his family's generator, which was inside his home." - ABC News/AP

Bottom Line
Don't play chicken with a Hurricane. Don't risk your life or the life of your family. When ordered to evacuate - leave!
