Grim search in Chambers County
SMITH POINT, TX (KTRK) -- A grim reminder of Hurricane Ike is not only the property damage, but the tragic loss of life. More than 20 people are known to have died as a result of the storm.

And in Chambers County, investigators fear there could be more victims.
The county is full of debris-filled roads. At Smith Point, debris seemed to come from every direction.

"All the houses from Bolivar and Crystal Beach ended up here," said Chief Jay Prague with the Smith Point Fire Department. "We are cleaning the debris on the road coming into Smith Point, but the only access to the debris on the shoreline is by boat."

Chambers County Judge Jimmy Sylvia says the state brought in cadaver dogs and spent Sunday looking through rubble.
