As power comes back on, hurricane evacuees are returning home and more and more hotel rooms are becoming available in the twin cities.

Just over 750 hotel rooms in Bryan/College Station are currently housing evacuees, according to information provided by the B/CS Convention and Visitors Bureau.

At the height of the storm, nearly every hotel was booked.

Association of Former Students had even asked Aggie fans to consider giving up their hotel rooms during the weekend of the Miami game to those impacted by Hurricane Ike.

Officials with the Convention and Visitors Bureau say many people from the surrounding counties stayed in local hotels when they lost power.

I am sorry to hear you feel that way Paul,for even you one day shall need help, I just hope that more people are caring and concerned with life than those like yourselves who are only worried about themselves. Honestly you should never have posted for you had nothing to do with those evacuees nor did you care. So if you have nothing nice to say then please by all means say nothing and leave the rest of us to say "We wish our evacuees a safe trip home and may god be with you on rebuilding your shattered lives. Take care all and good luck to you.
