Highlights from The Facts blog and reporters who are on the streets in south Brazoria County:

In Angleton there were signs of damaged roofs, though these appeared mostly to just have had shingles torn loose and not structural, and tree limbs strewn around the town.
In Lake Jackson, lumber looked to be the main issue with both trees and wooden fencing strewn about. Lake Jackson and Clute look to have survived Ike with minimal structural damage.
No deep standing water was seen in Lake Jackson or Clute, but in Clute a damage assessment was under way, and media members were being turned away at all the entrances to the city by emergency crews until it could be completed.
Dow Texas Operations looked largely unscathed saved for some downed power lines, which were a problem throughout southern and central Brazoria County. Trucks from Texas-New Mexico Power and CenterPoint could be seen rumbling through the area as electricity remained out.
According to reports, "Lake Jackson police don't want people to try to come back or even call to inquire about that until noon."
