Hurricane Ike Aftermath

We were following the weather NEWS both at The Weather Channel and CNN as both channels closely monitored hurricane Ike travelling thru from the atlantic ocean to the gulf sea. After days of watching the daily updates of hurricane Ike as it cruised thru other different countries in the carribean, hurricane Ike finally made landfall in the coast of Texas early dawn last Saturday. It was widely huge storm and the impact that it did in places where it hit was devastating as it caused a lot of damage to both lands and properties, as well as the lives of many people. Many of us may not be in the gulf coast but the NEWS also affects other people, financially and emotionally as well. In the news, they were talking about some oil refinery in the gulf coast that were shut down temporarily as hurricane Ike passed by, and the non-operation could result in higher gas prices nationwide. That was why we hurridly drove to the gas station that very Saturday morning and filled up the gas at $3.59 per gallon price before it could possibly rise up around $4.00 to $5.00 per gallon again, just like when hurricane Katrina hit the coast of New Orleans three years ago. The price didnt go up badly like we thought, so that is great for a change.

Although, hurricane Ike finally left Texas, he left behind devastation and problems in places where it hit. So if you have the means to help those who were deeply affected by the storm, extending your help and support will surely be valuable and will go a long way.
