"We were driving the other day and I said I can't look at it. It makes me want to throw up. It's so disturbing," Castillo said.
Roughly 75 percent of Galveston's homes are uninhabitable. There is limited sewage facilities and few medical services. Rats and snakes have infested the city's ruins. And the city is under a 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. curfew.
