A friend of mine I grew up with sent me a link this morning to the Boston Globe.  It is a photo story on the rebuilding of the Galveston Gulf Coastal area.  If you live here then you probalby have some deeply effecting memories of the event.  I recall working to keep the business running without reliable phones, electricity, and employees who were dealing with their own problems.  We made it through although I it changed my perspectives on my business and our community forever for the better.  Our family, business community, and neighbors pulled together to help each other during and after the storm.

This is not reall directly related to my business but I thought it was worth your consideration.  I did have an oportunity to look at many building damaged by Ike in Galveston although most of my work was on the east and north sides of Houston where there seemed a greater need to seperate storm damage from normal wear.  That was not a problem in the tier I and II wind storm areas.
