Crystal Beach resident Anne Willis recounts life after Hurricane Ike with 110 mph winds and a 20 foot surge that left thousands homeless and damaged.

Census will count same sex couples as married in 2010
Gay advocates expect hundreds of thousands of unwed couples to report as spouses in the 2010 Census, while opponents warn the tally could bolster pro marriage campaigns. Advocates say data on income and households with children will bolster protections and services for LGBT Americans, prompting policy changes. The census will publicly report raw same sex marriage numbers for the first time, signaling an evolution in tracking American lifestyles.
