COMMENTS: Rats and Tetanus
Ike, the undercovered hurricane, received attention from NBC as anchor Brian Williams traveled to Houston. He profiled Mayor Bill White, who is still working to restore electricity to a quarter of his city. Meanwhile NBC's Don Teague and ABC's Neal Karlinsky (embargoed link) both filed from Galveston Island where residents have finally been permitted to return, eleven days after its evacuation. The storm surge left 75% of its homes uninhabitable. "Officials have tried to warn residents about the toxic mud that covers everything here, about the mold, the sickening smell, the darkness and devastation," Teague told us. Karlinsky added that residents were advised to return with "a tetanus shot for themselves and rat poison for their homes."
