Christmas at the ‘last house standing’

By Ken Sury | Monday, December 22, 2008, 08:36 AM

Found this interesting story on the CNN Web site. The house in Gilchrist, Texas, that was still intact after Hurricane Ike leveled the Gulf Coast side of the community on Sept. 13 has its Christmas lights up. A generator provides the electricity and the couple that owns the home is trying to make it livable again.

Check out the story here.
