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.
