Race Against Time To Save Texas Stalwarts DALLAS, TX (kccu-fm) - Eight deaths are now blamed on Hurricane Ike.

Authorities say the eighth death came in in Arkansas when a tree fell on his mobile home as the remnants swept through.

Five other deaths were in Texas, and two were in Louisiana. Three people were found dead in Galveston today, including one person found in a submerged vehicle near the airport.

That's after four fatalities were reported yesterday, two in Texas and two in Louisiana.

Rescue crews are again canvassing neighborhoods today that were inundated by Hurricane Ike's storm surge.

A weeklong curfew daily from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. has been announced for Houston. Most of the nation's fourth-largest city is still without power. And the weather hasn't been cooperating along the Southeast Texas coast today. Showers dropped heavy rain on areas already flooded by Ike, and forecasters said there was a chance thunderstorms could continue into the evening.
