Entire Towns Disappear In Hurricane Ike's Wrath
As frustrations mount over delays in providing basic supplies to survivors of Hurricane Ike, the first glimpses of previously inaccessible areas revealed a string of ghost towns reduced to rubble.
Until Monday, authorities prevented residents and media from entering or flying over areas of the Bolivar Peninsula, a sliver of sand that sits across Galveston Bay from the city of Galveston.
Bolivar may have been the hardest hit by Ike's 110 mph winds and estimated 16-foot storm surge. Towns all along the peninsula were virtually flattened by the treacherous winds, rain and floods from Hurricane Ike.
