Perhaps some looters would do? :D

It will take data-mining of commerce records to derive who didn’t make it.

Bank accounts, social security checks, land/cell phone accounts, FEMA aid requests, cable service: the people whose activity goes dark can be identified.

Survivors will be moving services somewhere else.

Very good luck on your search.
Chances are very high that he
has no power yet. Prayers for
him.

There are GPS records of everybody on both islands that were very active right up until Ike struck.

GPS cell phone records. If you were any of the large telecoms, you could query your customer database for those sending signal from the coord box of the predicted landfall.

Then look at those records after landfall, and those that have no activity 4 or 5 days later are likely never going to again.

Looks like Tim Miller of Texas Equusearch is all over this. People are calling him asking him to look for relatives...so he is preparing...

Our river crested at about 2 this afternoon. Came within 6 inches of our store. Many other businesses and homes were not so lucky. I'll post some pics of my canoe trips down the streets sometime.

Tonight I was paddling to the post office and I saw a rabbit sitting in the top of an evergreen shrub that was surronded by water. Not something you see everyday. He looked at me and just kept on muching. Darndest thing. House was under about 3 feet of water.

On my way back with the canoe tonight with the mail, my neighbor Buster (who is also waterlocked) asked if I could give him a lift. Short story short. We ended up upside down - everything soaked, including my Nikon DSLR. Buster is a guide and knows more about canoing than Lewis and Clark. Needless to say, it was my fault. God seems pretty insistant on humbling me these days. If that is the worst that happened out of this, oh well. Everything will dry out. Am spending the night at the store as there are looters around. Glock is loaded.

I was so happy to see jpsb post today. Wonder if he is going to put lipstick on my picture - would be worth it:)

Thanks for all the prayers. Everything that is wet here will dry out. No danger of loss of life. As long as they stay away from my canoe, that is.

God Bless,

You know, you might be taking all this too seriously.

Maybe need to get out some, go for a walk.

Seems to be a nice beach about ten miles ENE of Smith Point.

Say...starting from due south of the west end of Robinson Lake?

I think an easy three miler would cover just what you need.

While you’re there, get a feel for how the Robinson Gas Plant weathered the storm.

;-)

Oh, no. I’m west of Austin out in the hills at the lake.

Just have lots of family and business and freepers in the Ike zone.

And many memories of driving down from Houston, taking the Bolivar Ferry for the sheer joy of it. And abundant extended-family blue-crab netting at Pt. Bolivar. And getting megastung by jellies at Crystal Beach.

Did you see where your prophetic post to jpsb was re-posted?

I’m hoping the second part of that post doesn’t come true. When I look at the peninsula scrubbed bare I only hope all those people escaped. I just seem to keep coming back to this thread because it seems the true story of Ike’s toll may not have been told yet.

Tim Miller of Equusearch is moving into the Bolivar P tomorrow...I believe others outside of FEMA or anyone connected to the county/city/state needs to also search...helps to avoid many things.

His outfit is the one called to find N. Holloway.

He uses statistics to build his search practices.
