The house belonging to Pam and Warren Adams sits alone Friday, Sept. 26, 2008 in Gilchrist, Texas. The custom-built home was the only beachfront house left standing in Gilchrist after Hurricane Ike struck the Texas coast. Bolivar Peninsula's estimated 4,000 residents were permitted to return on a "look and leave" basis, lining up at a checkpoint despite warnings they could find snakes and alligators amid debris.(AP Photo/Pat Sullivan)
