It is hard to feel sorry for these folks especially since they had plenty of notice and authorities were going door to door urging people to leave. For years I have heard people from our area say that they lived through Hurricane Carla and Alicia and they can make it through anything. We have also been talking for years about a big storm coming right up Galveston Bay and cause huge damage. This is what Ike did! No one wants to see anyone forceably removed from their home but man some people are hard headed. That story also shows how some people panicked and that is what really cost them their lives.
