Big Bad Hurricane Ike
Scary stuff. Track it real time here.
Weather Channel: As of 6 p.m. CDT, Ike was located about 100 miles southeast of Galveston, Texas, with maximum sustained winds increasing to 110 mph; a high-end Category 2 hurricane. The forward movement is toward the west-northwest at around 13 mph....A strike in this portion of the Texas coast will provide dangerous, perhaps life-threatening impacts. The inundation may be locally catastrophic.
The most severe conditions will impact areas just to the north and east of where the center makes landfall; the right front quadrant of Ike's circulation. Water level rise will be life-threatening in some coastal Texas counties especially Matagorda, Brazoria, Galveston, Chambers, Harris and Jefferson County.
Interesting how many new comments are on this vid, wishing well to Galveston as the hurricane approaches. I wound up there myself:
