Closer look at the damage to Texas City Dike

By TJ Aulds | Permalink | Add Comments

This week FEMA announced that it has approved about $5 million to repair the Texas City Dike, which has been closed since Hurricane Ike damaged it more than a year ago. Texas City and county officials estimate it will cost $11 million to repair.

The videos below offer a closer look at how extensive the damage is, even 13 months later.

Members of the paraglide group Texas Wingnuts also provided us some wonderful aerial videos of the dike's damage.
