Devastated Texas coast still dangerous after Ike

China Daily | Updated: 2008-09-23 07:44

Businesses were beginning to reopen, cell phone service was improving and power was coming back, but leaders warned that Texas' storm-wrecked Galveston Island remains dangerous more than a week after Hurricane Ike's devastating assault.

Fuel and other essentials remained scarce and police will indefinitely enforce a 6 pm to 6 am curfew once the island reopens tomorrow.

And it could be weeks or more before basic services are restored in all areas. Still, the island is far from deserted - at least 15,000 people ignored mandatory evacuation orders before and after the storm, and many of them were still there on Sunday.
