Report on a dying city

[unixronin]

Hurricane Katrina beat, bruised, battered and bloodied New Orleans.  But it's looking like Hurricane Ike killed Galveston.

Of course, one could well argue that building a city on an oversized sandbar wasn't the best idea in the first place.  The harsh truth is Galveston's one of several cities that's been living on borrowed time for quite a while now.

Yeah, they should have left it after 1906, so they got 102 years more than they really should have.
