Residents & Faculty: please post a comment if you are checking this blog! It only just occurred to me to try to communicate with everyone this way. The UTMB alert website is up but minimal information is being posted there. I have not been able to log in to the email system to try to reach everyone that way.
As I'm sure you know, very little information is coming from the island. Our faculty and staff who stayed on the island are all safe as far as I know. I've heard directly from or about Dr. Thompson, Dr. Simmons, Dr. Yadiki and Becky.
The best source of information that I've located is KHOU. They are broadcasting on DirectTV channel 361 non-stop. Their website is also being updated regularly. They just posted an important update. The mayor is supposed to hold a press conference at 1pm. Residency staff and I will be making another round of telephone calls to update everyone, but the latest I've heard to this point is that it will be AT LEAST Tuesday or Wednesday before the island is re-opened. IMO, that may be an optimistic timeline. Everyone please just stay put where you are for the immediate future and await further instructions.

Safe at Bastrop but with our morale devastaded due to the uncertainty of our property integrity. We were able to collect all important documents but whished I had more time to evacuate more personal belongings. any possible scenarios about our residency program in the short future? Are there any plans to place residents somewhere else in the mean time? I have read the UTMBinfo blog and seems they are very optimistic but I'm affraid they are still disconected a not very well infomed about the surroundings. UTMB may have sustained no damage, but the rest of the island is devastated. We are uncertain if we are going to be able to overcome this before we are called back to duty.
For video on what Galveston looks like after IKE go to you tube and search USCG IKE Galveston you can see that the entire island is submerged.
Thanks for checking in Jaime. Please pass the word to others.
