"Ike damage toll could top $500m
COLUMBUS - Damage caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ike in Ohio could hit $500 million or higher, making it one of the state's costliest natural disasters. The Ohio Insurance Institute says $500 million is a preliminary figure and it could go higher when the group issues its official estimates next week. The Sept. 14 storm knocked out electrical service for 2.6 million customers in Ohio. At least seven of the 56 deaths blamed on Hurricane Ike were in Ohio (AP)."
So it is going to be in the BILLIONS for TEXAS, no?
No wonder the MSM puts it in a brief and piece-meals it; gotta send Bush out on a high note -- even as the country was literally destroyed (economically and physically).
