The destruction on Crystal Beach, Texas, on the Bolivar Peninsula, Monday, Sept. 15, 2008, two days after landfall of Hurricane Ike. Ike was blamed for at least 50 deaths in the U.S., most of them coming outside Texas. Dozens more died as the storm moved through the Caribbean. Authorities may never know if, or how many, people who tried to weather the storm were washed out to sea.
