Malin vs. Ike

I just received a message my brother, who lives with his family in Houston. Apparently, the electrical utilities are still unavailable for much of the area. His house lost power around 7pm on friday and it's been down since. Lucky for him, they were able to find a hotel room in the area, but it's certainly turning into a long displacement. He also sent this link (courtesy of Boston.com) to pictures of the damage caused by the area. As he said, "The Chase Tower with all the windows blown out is 4 blocks from my office". Frightening indeed.
