The short - but eventful - life of Ike (http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2008/09/the_short_but_eventful_life_of.html)
I found 14, 17, 24, and 28 to be particularly noteworthy/interesting.

The vortex in 19 looks pretty big. No way I'd want to be near it without a good tether!

I want to scoop up that kitty and hug him/her. :(

Really amazing shots. #24... wow. I particularly like the upside down one in the background.

Thanks for sharing that link, SM. I have some coworkers in Houston, and although the office is open, they are still recovering.

I saw a news report on the yellow house in Gilchrist (#11). Here's a link to the CNN online article (http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/09/18/ike.last.house.standing/index.html). Pretty amazing stuff.

Wow, thanks for posting this. The caskets that were unearthed...

Why is the road so steep in #7. It looks more like a roller coaster!
