Segment from "The World Report" October 2008 In its commitment to provide relief to those in harms way, church humanitarian response comes to the aid of many who face difficulties after Hurricane Ike hits the Texas gulf coast on September 13th. In addition to the homes and businesses damaged, more than 2 million people were left without power in the Houston and Galveston area, and many were left without basic needs. In the days leading up to the storm's arrival, volunteer workers with The Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints began to mobilize and, coordinating with emergency response officials in Texas, prepared needed supplies, food, and water to transport and distribute to troubled areas. As soon as it was safe to venture out, Church volunteers and full-time missionaries put on the familiar yellow Mormon helping hands T-shirts and began clearing out fallen trees and cleaning neighborhoods. With many weeks of cleanup and outreach still needed for Texas, members of the Church are working with this thought in mind: when theyre prepared to handle a disaster, theyre in a much better position to go out and help their neighbors.

But not when their house is the only one still standing in their section of Gilchrist, Texas. Ike's storm surge last week devastated the Bolivar Peninsula town, flattening most of the roughly 200 homes there. The couple's yellow house at the beach -- supported 14 feet off the ground by wooden columns -- was the only house on Gilchrist's Gulf Coast side not to be flattened.
