A pile of porcelain and concrete sits in the foreground as a track hoe sifts through Hurricane Ike debris in the background, Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2008, in Smith Point, Texas. A concern for the crew of a dozen or so men doing slow and tedious removal of debris left behind by Ike 10 weeks ago is not piercing a buried oxygen or butane tank with their heavy equipment and risk a spark turning the rubble into a bomb.
