Thank you for the flickr pictures. These show me The Galveston County Daily News is up and running. I don't know how soon they came back, but it's unexpected. I wouldn't have known that a man drowned to death in the Sandpiper Motel if I hadn't just looked at The Daily News website.

You make a good point about the bodies. We hear rumors of them washing up onshore, but county officials say these aren't true.
