Hurricane Ike -- after the storm

Seems some areas fare a comparative "well" from Ike's fury. This is an aerial photo of the Golden Pass LNG project under construction in Sabine Pass, TX. There seems little out of place in the photo and no obvious damages such as missing roof on the large tanks or levees washed out.

The photo is from a series of satellite shots indexed by NOAA-- you click on the area you want to see and when the image comes up, click it to see a zoomed in view. These are very large files -- this file is just a piece of one and I reduced it to 33% of its size to keep the file size here manageable (click on the photo for a close up view).

Below is a shot of the Port of Port Arthur -- notice no trains, no trucks -- the mandatory evacuation order was in place when these pictures were shot. Also, notice the roof damage on the warehouse on the left.
