Two more Ike victims found on Goat Island
GALVESTON, Texas -- Two more bodies have been found close to where Hurricane Ike thundered ashore, bringing the Texas death toll to 35 and the national toll to 70.
A search-and-rescue team Saturday made the discovery in debris fields on Goat Island, located off the devastated resort area of Bolivar Peninsula. The bodies were taken to the Galveston County medical examiner's office.
Galveston County Sheriff's Office Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo said he had no other information about the victims.
More than 1 million people evacuated the Texas coast due to Ike. The storm caused flooding and deaths as far away as Pennsylvania and Illinois.
Please keep on praying for those who wait to hear about loved ones.
