GALVESTON, Texas (AP) — Houston officials have issued a weeklong curfew for the city devastated by Hurricane Ike.

Officials announced that a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew would begin Sunday night and last until Saturday. Most of the city has lost electricity, streets are littered with debris, and police are worried about the safety of residents.

Police say residents should not be on the streets during the curfew unless it's an emergency.

Not much more at link.

Where's the coverage of the devastation left in the wake of Ike?

Who's taking care of the people who have no electricity, water, ice, shelter?
Who is covering this? Seems almost like a media blackout...

1. Oooh, so it's okay to limit the freedoms in Texas

It's only when Democats try to keep their cities safe that it's a problem.

2. No, just weekend staffing

If there is not more by Monday's news cycle I will be surprised.
