Oak Island residents cope after Ike with aid and resilience
Oak Island faces the Ike aftermath with aid from Island administration loans and private help as Port-a-Potties funded by Entergy are phased out. Residents shelter families on Bayou land near Trinity Bay, including Vietnamese fishermen like Sam Huynh whose Channel Marker 17 bar and grill was gutted, while locals like Ernestine Watson describe life amid flooding and recovery.
