Hurricane Ike launched the largest search and rescue effort in Texas history. This effort is much more proactive, we’ve learned from Katrina, but it sounds like there are many yet to be rescued in the aftermath of Ike. Let’s keep praying for the people of Texas and Louisiana!
“TEXAS CITY, Texas — As Hurricane Ike weakened to a tropical storm, a massive search-and-rescue effort along the Texas Gulf coast Saturday began plucking dozens of survivors from rooftops, shattered homes and even tree limbs where they had ridden out high winds and rising waters during the night.” –USA Today.
