Knuclehead VOA reports that only a few hundred people remain on Galveston Island. What happened to the 14,000 or so other knuckleheads?
"Texas Governor Rick Perry has called them "knuckleheads," but the several thousand people who defied evacuation orders last week and rode out the storm in the state's most vulnerable coastal communities see themselves as hardy survivors.

Officials estimate there are still between <250 and 300> people on Galveston Island in spite of dire conditions that include lack of sanitation, lack of clean water and an infestation of mosquitoes that could carry infectious diseases."
