is there anyone that lives on galveston island that cant go back home after hurricane ike?

Posted on April 30th, 2009 by admin in Galveston restaurants

yea, so we evacuated at the last minute to a hotel in houston. we live in galveston and we cant go back. this hotel is $200 a night and the only place here to eat is the restaurant downstairs and that’s about $70 a meal for the family. so yea, i want to go home but they are saying that we cant. we cant stay here, we paid for tonight so tomorrow we will be on the streets if we cant go home =( so i mean what do we do? i cant get ah-old of the red cross, or salvation army or anyone. and when i did they said they cant help us. i live on the seawall so i mean im not even sure if my apartment is still there or not. im sure it is, and everything there is fine but you never know. but yea, can someone help me? i dont know what do do…someone please tell me what i should do.

From what I’ve just seen on fox news Galveston Island is just about leveled after Ike, right now they are still trying to get people who decided to stay OUT not allow anyone IN. I’m pretty sure the news said exactly that..you can get OUT but not IN.
Sounds to me like you may be experiencing some price gouging, paying $200 a night for a room. I believe you should contact the Mayor where you are or the City council and tell them what’s going on..meantime I would be out today looking around for some place cheaper, or a shelter where you and your family can stay.
I also assume you drove your vehicle to Houston..get in the car and search for a Denny’s or even McDonald’s to eat in.
Sorry for your predicament, hope all turns out well for you.
