Bun B Reports On Hurricane Ike's Aftermath In Texas!!!!!!!

by **J The Kidd** Sat Oct 04, 2008 1:23 pm

The rapper takes us around the hard-hit towns of Galveston and Beaumont as people finally return home.

Seven days after Hurricane Ike struck Texas on September 13, I finally
got my power turned back on. I live in Houston, a big city that didn't
even take the brunt of the storm.

But for a lot of the folks living in smaller communities along the Gulf
Coast, the impact of Ike was much, much worse. I wanted to show MTV
News what it was like for people living in Galveston, in Beaumont, in
Orange or in Port Arthur, which is where I'm from. It's easy to bring
the cameras one day after the storm, two days after the storm.

But what about a week after the storm? Two weeks? Some people are just
getting back home, just starting to deal with the reality of what's
happened. And that's what I wanted to show everyone: what it's like
when the cameras leave, and these people in these smaller communities
are left to deal with the devastation.
