Bush has declared 15 Texas counties a disaster area, as insurance estimators put the losses at $750 million US. About 159,000 people in the region were still without power late Thursday night, according to Texas Gov. Rick Perry's office, a figure that was down from 228,000 earlier in the day. Minor, ehh....? |
