How are things in downtown Houston?

After all of the stories on Katrina, the best the news
media can do when it comes to Ike is that a bunch of
FEMA ice melted. 29 people died. The survivors are
being taken care of. There's no story anymore. Pack up
your stupid satellite trucks and go home. We're sick of
you. In the meantime. The picture below is of the Wedge
Tower in downtown Houston. Everyplace you see brown
squares is a piece of plywood to replace a window that
was blow out during the storm.
The photo above is of the former Enron building, now occupied by Chevron. The black streaks are places where the windows and solar insulation was removed by the hurricane. Notice guys on the roof? They're are working this weekend due to safety concerns. Some of the glass has been falling and hitting the street. Many sidewalks downtown have scaffolding with plywood over the top for pedestrians to walk under.
