A Plan for Galveston

After the devastating Hurricane Ike, Galveston creates a plan for its residents. This article helps educate readers about the plan to do so. Although there is a long way to go before everything in Galveston will be in order, the city is doing its best. There were about 45,000 residents who had to evacuate their homes last Friday due to the 110mph hurricane. After the hurricane hit, the coast was left a horrendous mess. A week after the hurricane, Galveston is planning to let their evacuees come back to their homes and lives. Currently there is only one gas pump and most of the cell phone services were restored. This is just the beginning of the plan. One of the worst problems is the water system. More water is leaving Galveston than coming in and that is a necessity for people's lives. Another issue they are still working on is hospitals; although the hospitals are helping residents, there is not enough space to help people. Authorities plan to bring more people back to their homes by next week. I believe this article is worth reading because it's a big part of what has happened in Texas recently. In my entire life, I have never heard of Texas getting hit by a hurricane so badly. I just believe that everyone should get some knowledge about what is going on to other people. While the people in Austin were going about their normal day, people only about 200 miles away from us were evacuating their lives in the coast. This really puts things into perspective.
