Bolivar and high beach were destroyed because of geography. do some research on the climate and water level, as well as the state of the levies before hand.
Wrong place wrong time.

Officially, and close to the numbers I estimated, more than 400 are considered missing at this time. The hopes are that many evac'd from the area, and simply have not yet returned or made contact.
This is the only station my radio would bring in during the storm. Many who had phones during the storm called in during the worst, giving first hand reports, and talking about how they were so afraid as their houses and apartments shook & trembled in the wind.
They got me through what was a very isolating experience.

So, there is no problem.
But the news said 90,000 people chose to stay.
Reports during say that the worst areas were trapped, and there was 20,000+ in the area.
In those areas, nothing is left.
And I'm supposed to believe that like somewhere between 100 and 400 people might have died?
Explain that to me.
How can you have 20,000+ people in an area that didn't evacuate, and couldn't evacuate....and there is almost nothing left structurally....
I see those pictures, I put together the information I've seen, and it doesn't add up to something that means "oh, maybe they are in a FEMA Camp?" How did people who didn't and couldn't evacuate from their home that is now bits and pieces in the ocean, end up in a FEMA camp? Did the Hurrican pick them up like Angels, fly them over the tidal waves as big as their houses, and deposit them on dry land?
I'm not trying to be difficult. I'm a reasonable human being, even considering I ever come on this board.
How can you have 20,000+ trapped people in an area that is literally GONE, and there be so few missing? Where did they go? Explain. Please. I'm willing to be convinced. |

There were not 20,000 people in the area to start with. I am a native of the area. Once again, I am a native of the area.
The majority of the approximately 12,000 people who had homes or cabins on the peninsula were part time vacation
home residents. Most of those who lived on the island full or part time on the peninsula evac'd. Probably, a majority of those considered missing are actually somewhere else, with friends or family, out of the area, and don't even know they are on the list of missing.
If there are any FEMA camps in this area, no one in this area is aware of it.
Rather than argue with those of us who live around the area, who know people & have relatives in the area, and know those who are doing the searches, why don't you google for correct population information.
Then you can listen to media feeds from this area.
Because frankly, you are being more than difficult. You are being ignorant.
NO COVER UP. No conspiracy. Just another of the ill informed who refuse to believe the truth. Not my problem.
but, please, don't spread your bad information around.
Not one person in this part of the country, natives of this area who went through this storm, not one of us needs your bullshit. |

TU, I respect what you've had to go through living in the area. But yours is just one voice. I've talked to many other people down there who describe great devastation and are appalled at the lack of media coverage and the way local and federal governments have handled the situation.
The way they have not allowed access or blocked media coverage, etc.
There is a long list above you of missing. These are just people that posted threads on the internet claiming these people are missing. Who knows how many of them are safe and ok? Hopefully all of them...but also who knows how many didn't mess with websites and have called the Red Cross or local officials?
The point is that unless the process is open, nobody knows. And a lot of your fellow neighbors are infuriated that the process has not been open. It's not been a U.S. type of response, it's been something that you would see in Burma or China or the Soviet Union. |

Former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton appointed James Baker III as national chairman for their new initiative, the Bush-Clinton Coastal Recovery Fund.
The fund will work with the hardest-hit cities, towns and municipalities along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast to pinpoint the best use of the funds, such as infrastructure projects.
Bush and former Secretary of State Baker are expected to tour the area in the coming weeks, and the first distributions will be made at the end of the year.
Baker, who is a partner in the Houston law firm Baker Botts LLP, will oversee a 40-person committee of business and civic leaders that will help raise funds.
The new nonprofit venture is the third collaboration for the two presidents since 2005.
Donations to the fund can be made at [ link to www.bushclintoncoastalfund.org]
AC:
This is not directed at YOU...you are merely the messenger. But damn, can't the Bushes, the Bakers, and the Clintonista-makers stay the hell out of the disaster areas?

Discovery of woman's body brings Ike's death toll to 29
By CINDY HORSWELL Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle
Sept. 24, 2008, 11:39PM
The body of a woman believed to have drowned during Hurricane Ike was found Wednesday during searches of massive debris fields that have washed from Bolivar Peninsula across East Bay into Chambers County.
The discovery brought the tally of Houston-area storm-related deaths to 29.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife refuge officers found the body of the unidentified female in a debris pile east of FM 562, between Lone Oak Bayou and Lake Surprise. Investigators believe the cause of death was drowning because of the absence of broken bones or other signs of trauma.
Officials described the body as that of a white woman in her late 40s or early 50s, 5 feet 6 inches tall, with a medium build and short brown hair.
For more than six days, searchers have trudged through high water and knee-deep mud, braving alligators, snakes and swarms of mosquitoes to comb through the debris. Investigators say it will take several weeks to sift through all of it.
"At this time, it is very difficult to know how many people are really missing from the Bolivar Peninsula after the storm, or if there are remains in these debris fields. But if there are, then we want to make sure we find them," Chambers County Sheriff Joe LaRive said.
Also Wednesday, the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office put a name on another of the county's eight storm-related deaths: Lisa Ann Weaver, 58, of Tomball, who died in a Sept. 13 house fire where candles were being used because of power failure.
Police also identified three people who appear to have died of carbon monoxide poisoning in a southwest Houston home in Fort Bend County.
The three found Sept. 18 at 4973 Ridgecreek were identified as Rekesha Hopkins, 35, Kaven Randle, 43, and Rogers Smith III , 29, HPD homicide Detective Steve Straughter said.
Straughter said preliminary autopsy results indicated the three died from fumes from a gasoline-powered generator. Straughter said the generator was in the attached garage of the house and the garage door was shut.
Chronicle reporter Eric Hanson contributed to this story.

TU, I respect what you've had to go through living in the area. But yours is just one voice. I've talked to many other people down there who describe great devastation and are appalled at the lack of media coverage and the way local and federal governments have handled the situation.
The way they have not allowed access or blocked media coverage, etc.
There is a long list above you of missing. These are just people that posted threads on the internet claiming these people are missing. Who knows how many of them are safe and ok? Hopefully all of them...but also who knows how many didn't mess with websites and have called the Red Cross or local officials?
The point is that unless the process is open, nobody knows. And a lot of your fellow neighbors are infuriated that the process has not been open. It's not been a U.S. type of response, it's been something that you would see in Burma or China or the Soviet Union. Quoting: The_Venerable 412220
Yes, mine is one of many voices, the great majority actually. I have spoken to the great destruction, posted videos showing it.
I do not argue that the MSM didn't give it proper coverage, although I didn't have electricity so didn't have access to MSM.
The local tv media , however, was almost 24/7 for about a week, streamed to radio, with many hours of coverage daily the second week. RAdio was fundamental in getting information to people the first week, again, 24/7.
So much coverage it was almost unbearable.
Local coverage has been very open, with reporters in those areas since to the storm, remaining there after. They had access to areas that those who came later had to wait for because the roads were impassable.
As soon as roads were clear enough for additional media to get through, without interfering with first responders, they had access. You need to understand that the only route down to the coast from Houston was blocked with high water, and miles of debris, as was the road on the east through Winnie to the coast.
The local governments did excellent jobs, and should be commended for actually confronting FEMA and leading their trucks to where they needed to be.
At this time, FEMA is acting like FEMA does, with hundreds of 18 wheelers sitting at Reliant Park , full of ice and water, with the Fed Gub refusing to give them instructions while paying them about 1400 each per day as they sit. The truckers are pissed. So are those who are without power.
There are 12,000 elec. contractors, and thousands of workers removing trees from the lines. They are putting in 16 hour days per person, and sleeping in tents. Those who are still without power are in areas that are the most difficult to clear. It would take something bigger than human to repair the infrastructure any faster.
It will take time for those who evac'd and are on the missing list to even realize they are on it. They are dealing with loss, and trauma, without their computers, and no way to reach anyone who also might have been wiped out. Those who are actually gone, may or may not be found.
It will take matching property records, and tracing where these people may have evac'd to.
Right now it is time to take care of the living. Those who are gone are gone. I know people on that list, or their relatives. If I could get to Winnie to help in some way I would, but I can't.
The damage is beyond Katrina. But no way can you compare the treatment of those poor people in NO, with the way things have been handled after Ike.

Storm suge , The onshore rush of sea or lake water caused primarily by the high winds that are associated with a landfalling hurricane, typhoon, or tropical cyclone and secondarily by the low pressure of the storm.
The term tidal surge is often mis-used to describe storm surge, but a storm surge is independent of the usual tidal ebb and flow.
Tidal Wave - A term that seismologists hate. The correct word for the big waves people often call "tidal waves" is tsunami. |

Oh my god..
Once again. My family lives there. NO FUCKING COVER UP.
Bolivar and high beach were destroyed because of geography. do some research on the climate and water level, as well as the state of the levies before hand.
Wrong place wrong time.
Official death count = ACCURATE
Unofficial death count = retarded.

At Least 400+ Confirmed Missing
Two weeks after Ike, more than 400 are still missing
By LISE OLSEN
Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle
Sept. 28, 2008, 1:40AM
Gail Ettenger made her last phone call at 10:10 p.m. She was trapped in her Bolivar Peninsula bungalow with her Great Dane, Reba. A drowning cat cried outside. Her Jeep bobbed in the seawater surging around her home.
Ettenger, 58, told her friend she was reading old love letters by flashlight. "I think I really screwed up this time," she said, according to Monroe Burks, Ettenger's neighbor who had evacuated to Houston.
That was Friday, Sept 12. On Wednesday — 12 days later — her nearly nude body was found face down by a huge debris pile in a remote mosquito-ridden marsh in Chambers County, about 10 miles inland from where her gray beach house once stood.
Two weeks after Hurricane Ike swept through the Texas coast, 400 people remain missing, mostly from Galveston County, according to an analysis of calls logged to a hot line set up by the nonprofit Laura Recovery Center to assist local authorities.
Until Wednesday, Ettenger was one of them.
About 60 of the missing lived on the Bolivar Peninsula, stripped bare by the storm surge that felled beach houses like a bomb. More than 200 were listed as missing on Galveston Island itself, according to a city-by-city analysis of the data conducted for the Houston Chronicle by Bob Walcutt, executive director of the recovery center in Friendswood.
Hot line and rescue workers hope that many people, especially on Galveston Island, will be reunited with family and friends as hurricane recovery efforts continue. More than 145 already have been located through blogs, media Web sites, Red Cross shelter lists, endless phone calls, welfare checks and sometimes dramatic rescues led by the Galveston County Sheriff's Office and other agencies.
Yet disturbing tales told by survivors from Bolivar communities like Gilchrist, Crystal Beach and Port Bolivar suggest some may never return.
"There's still lots of people who are not accounted for," said Capt. Rod Ousley, of the State Parks & Wildlife Service, which is helping to search for survivors or bodies in remote corners of several coastal counties. "We don't know if they got washed out to sea, or buried in the sand or in debris piles. We just keep looking until they come up ... we're just going to keep trying."
Too late for rescue
Still missing is the grandmother of 16-year-old Jerrith Baird. Baird told the Chronicle that Jennifer Mclemore, 58, refused to abandon her beach house in the village of Gilchrist, despite his pleas that she retreat to High Island, where he lives. Mclemore believed her home, battered and rebuilt after Hurricane Rita, could survive a Category 2 storm.
When the first waves of seawater started to flood Gilchrist early on Sept. 12, Baird called the Coast Guard, begging for her rescue. "They said they were doing the best they could," he said. "But by the time they got around to it, the wind was too high. They couldn't fly."
Flights were suspended after about 100 people were rescued from the peninsula, leaving at least 150 still stranded, according to a Sept. 13 Coast Guard press release.
Mclemore holed up at home with her pit bull Hoodoo. At 8 p.m., her cell phone went dead, her worried grandson on the other end.
The next morning, Baird set out to find her the only way he could: he kayaked with a friend about eight miles through the marshes and debris along the ravaged coastline.
"There's really nothing left of Gilchrist. We were kayaking over our friends' cars that were out there that got washed away. It wasn't fun. I was just in total shock," he said.
Hours later, Baird reached the spot where his grandmother's house had stood. Nothing remained except a few snapped pilings, he said.
The search for survivors is an arduous one, stymied by the size and scope of the storm, which propelled wrecked boats as far south as Padre Island.
A handful of volunteer fire department members have led the search on the peninsula itself. Meanwhile, dozens of sheriff's deputies, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and Texas State Parks & Wildlife Department wardens are patrolling vast marshlands and other remote areas, including roadless sections of Chambers County where storm debris fields stretch for miles.
Airboats, four-wheelers, search dogs and helicopters are being used to scour areas where the water and wind blew cars, homes and animals, creating seemingly insurmountable piles of wreckage and waste.
"Some of these debris piles are real, real tall and real real wild areas with nothing but boards and nails and snakes and alligators and mosquitoes," Ousley said. "This is some of the hardest recovery efforts we've ever faced with the storm surge and what all it moved and the debris that moved with it."
Washed off road?
Searchers confirm they've also spotted countless cars in the floodwaters and marshes. It's impossible to tell which were once occupied, though so far no bodies have been reported recovered from vehicles sticking out above water. Submerged vehicles are not being searched.
Raul "Roy" Arrambide last heard from his mother, sister and nephew as the three prepared to evacuate by car from Port Bolivar.
Just after 6 a.m. Sept. 12, his sister, Magdalena Strickland, 51, called from the house to say they were leaving. The family's 2000 white Ford Taurus and 1993 maroon Ford pickup were loaded and idling in the driveway. It was a quick call, since Strickland was eager to go.
His mother, Marion Violet Arrambide, 79, along with Strickland and Arrambide's nephew, Shane Williams, 33, had planned to evacuate to Arrambide's house near Dallas. They had two vehicles but no cell phone. They never arrived.
Roy Arrambide fears they were washed off the road.
After the storm, he hired an airboat to visit the area, where he saw dozens of submerged cars in the floodwaters and marshes along the peninsula's lone low-lying highway. But neither he nor anyone else has found his relatives or their vehicles. The house they left behind was damaged but intact.
Eight people, mostly from the Crystal Beach Volunteer Fire Department, have formed the core of continuing search efforts on the peninsula, though the members of Texas Task Force 2 came to conduct rescues, house-to-house reviews and provide other assistance.
"We have not gotten enough help, we're worn out," said Shawn Hall, a member of the High Island Volunteer Fire Department who said he joined the VFD search team for 12 days straight. "We have not had the resources to do the proper searches that need to done." He said they have relied on airboats provided by out-of-state volunteers.
So far, Galveston County Sheriff's Office officials, busy with searches themselves, have not allowed volunteers from Texas' EquuSearch, a nonprofit that specializes in searches, to respond to requests from families of 18 missing people on the peninsula, according to Tim Miller, its executive director.
Also unaccounted for are several transient beach residents who lived in travel trailers on the waterfront in places like Rollover Pass and San Leon.
'She needed to count'
Relatives and friends of the missing said they will keep pushing authorities to expand searches and to establish reliable and complete lists of missing persons.
"I didn't want the same thing in Galveston as in New Orleans, where they had all these unclaimed people after Hurricane Katrina," said JoAnnBurks, who was Gail Ettenger's neighbor and close friend. "I didn't want that for Gail. She needed to count."
Ettenger, a contract chemist who worked for ExxonMobil in Beaumont, loved living at the beach. She rose before dawn each day to walk with Reba, an aging black and white spotted Great Dane who looked like a Holstein calf.
Outside, Ettenger grew towering birds of paradise. Inside, she filled her bungalow with mementos: a wolfskin from New Mexico, a collection of nautical antiques and endless snapshots of Reba and beach sunsets.
All is lost now. Even Reba.
