Default Aftermath of Hurricane Ike at a Gavleston Cell Site

I spotted this cell site atop a damaged hotel building in galveston. The hotel is located at 2501 Seawall Blvd in Galveston. I just found it to be amazing that even though concrete was ripped off the building itself, the 3 cell arrays on the roof managed to stay in place, unmoved. Though at this point, they probably have not worked in days.

It's just crazy to see how much damage happened out there. Hopefully FEMA does not drop the ball on this one.
