What was the final toll from Ike in Galveston?

Since the search and rescue teams are presently unable to reach the west end of the island, that information will not be known for many days.

Its here now and is really mild, it just dropped from a cat 1 to a tropical storm at about 1:00 I an amazed it isnt dropping that much water. I thought water would be the major problem with this storm. That and a sustained storm surge in Galveston.

Water was the problem in Galveston; hence, the inability of rescue personnel to get to many areas still now.

I am listening to a HAM Radio net and there is a station up on Galveston but the airwaves are atrocious and I am prolly to close so the signal is gonna skip over me. I cant get a copy on the report. But they are transmitting!
