Reseidents wait to be evacuated in buses at the Ball High School after Hurricane Ike struck in Galveston, Texas September 14, 2008. Rescuers made their way through piles of debris and water-filled streets in Texas seaside towns on Sunday after Hurricane Ike flooded hundreds of miles of U.S. coastline, cut power to millions and pummeled the oil hub of Houston. A weakened Ike pushed northward after slamming into the Texas coast as a giant Category 2 hurricane on Saturday, leaving extensive devastation in its wake. REUTERS/Carlos Barria (UNITED STATES)
