The Galveston County Daily News: "Sixteen months after Hurricane Ike struck Galveston, the storm is continuing to wreak havoc on the island’s streets.
Galveston’s streets, notorious for potholes before the hurricane, are continuing to crack, sink and crumble in what the city said are latent effects of the hurricane. But the Federal Emergency Management Agency will not pay to repair streets just now showing damage, Eric Wilson, director of municipal utilities, said.
The street damage is a result of the hurricane’s storm surge and the abnormally heavy rainfall in Galveston in 2009, Angelo Grasso, director of public works, said."

As a Katrina survivor (with an unfinished attic still waiting for the--already paid--contractor to come back and do the final repairs), I feel Galveston's pain.
