Remember that hurricane we had a few weeks ago? Yeah, it ain't over here. They're still looking for the bodies.
Alligators loom over submerged cars. Mountains of debris are embedded in the ground. The bodies of cows, trucks and the remnants of homes lie in and out of the water. And unverified sightings of missing loved ones make the rounds.

More than 300 people are missing since Hurricane Ike hit the Texas coast last month, and the obstacles to finding them are frustrating family and friends who desperately want to know if their loved ones are dead or alive.

These family and friends want answers: Why are so many still missing? Why has the first organized search for bodies, to be held Thursday on the battered Bolivar Peninsula, taken so long.
Why has it taken so long? Because there's nothing left to find. Either they're buried in the sand or washed out into the Gulf. The list couldn't be more tragic. How many times are there two names on the list with the same last name that are both 60 years old or more? Just awful.
