| Summary: | Hurricanes are familiar business for those living along the coast. But as Ike zeroed in on Southeast Texas, a feeling grew that this could be the big one. Suddenly more than a million people were called on to evacuate. And suddenly, Chronicle journalists had their hands full. The awesome damage - some of it severely felt by Chronicle journalists who nevertheless remained on the job - was surpassed only by the determination to overcome it. Ike was hardly gone before the cleanup began, and the work has continued unabated since. This book and DVD set, through a remarkable collection of photographs and video, represent a sampling of our work. It bears witness not only to the destructive power of nature but to the will to persevere. |
