The Sad Return to the Bolivar Peninsula

By Jesse Ferrell, AccuWeather meteorologist

Published Sep 29, 2008 7:50 PM EDT | Updated Sep 29, 2008 4:25 PM EDT

Copied

If you haven't seen the sad pictures and videos as people return to the Bolivar Peninsula, Texas, take a look. The area was devastated, with much more damage than Galveston, but this has not been covered well by the media. The video below shows the traffic jams as residents tried to return Friday for a "look and leave", over the one lane still remaining of the 4-lane bridge, as well as citizens fighting fires on their own (there is no Fire Department or much water in the area). Video by KTRK & KFDM.
