Debris on the I-45 highway at the entrance to Galveston is seen after Hurricane Ike hit the Gulf of Mexico near Galveston September 13, 2008. Hurricane Ike barrelled into the densely populated Texas coast near Houston early on Saturday, bringing with it a wall of water and ferocious winds and rain that flooded large areas along the Gulf of Mexico and paralyzed the fourth-largest U.S. city.
