COMMENTS: Houston Has a Problem
If it were not for the financial meltdown and a Presidential election, the aftermath of Hurricane Ike would be major news. All three newscasts filed follow-ups. ABC's Mike von Fremd (embargoed link) and CBS' Mark Strassmann covered the continued electricity outages afflicting 1.4m in Houston. "No lights, no air conditioning, no hot meals," von Fremd found. Strassmann told us that 14 powerless hospitals have been closed throughout the region. On NBC, Don Teague focused on the continued evacuation of Galveston Island. "Yesterday officials tried to let residents return just long enough to look and leave but that caused so much chaos and an eight-mile-long back-up that roadblocks went back up."
