Hurricane Ike smashed into the Texas coastline on September the 13th, 2008. 48 days later, We drove down to Clear Lake Shores and Galveston to investigate the damage. People are putting their lives back together, and the cleanup is progressing, but the evidence of mother nature's fury is everywhere. Some of these scenes are surreal. The mosquitos ate us alive when we were trying to film this!

    Is this a third world country or something? I didn't hear about the hurricane in Phoenix after it hit. My friend told me about it but its crazy to see it. Its good to hear those tunes again!

    Its all the disaster of Katrina without having to pay for the cleanup. Houston wasn't that great to begin with. Lets just write it off as a loss

    Another great Mikel Fair production. We need to get CNN to run this piece. It's so original. The background track is great as well by 303infinity.

    This video hits the heart of those of us in the coastal area. Not only does it represent the damages and emotions, but it kept a very clean image for all ages to appreciate.

    And, without fail, the music was wonderful.

    Hey Mr. Fair - good job - Is there a part 2?

    Sad, I used to go to Galveston alot years ago. It seems our fabulous government doesn't give a rats ass about helping to rebuild things after a disaster. Ground zero is still just a big hole in the ground, New Orleans is still in crapsville, and the Texas coast is still on the waiting list.

    With these unusual images it is incredible what it can make the Nature, and once again turns out incredible only to our eyes, too much human!
