Humberto cleanup, deaths and damages across Texas coast
Gov. Perry declared three counties disaster areas and sent state troops to assist in water and ice distribution. Debris from High Island on Bolivar Peninsula totaled about 1,500 cubic yards of structural material and 3,000 cubic yards of limbs. One death was reported in Bridge City as a patio collapsed. Damages were projected under 500 million dollars, with utility crews restoring power to nearly half of the 120,000 southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana homes and businesses still affected. Tropical Storm Ingrid moved west-northwest far offshore as Humberto weakened inland.
