Ike Devastates University, Spares New Press
In September, after three years of waiting, the installation was finally complete, and training began.
“My operators, their eyes were glowing when they saw that four-color quality that it was putting out,” Johnson recalls. “It was a happy time—until September 11.”
That was the day employees were forced to evacuate the city of Galveston. Because while installation and training were going on, Hurricane Ike was gathering steam over the nearby Gulf of Mexico. Johnson and his staff had no choice but to cover up the equipment in their second-floor in-plant, move everything away from the windows and head out of town. Johnson fled inland where he watched the destruction of Galveston Island on television.
