The National Hurricane center says Hurricane Ike, a Category 2 storm with 100 mph winds, now officially has the Texas Coast line in its 3-day cone of uncertainty, though Ike is continuing to drag along at 8 mph in a northwest direction. I know this has a lot of people in Texas s
crambling, not the least of which is Galveston and Houston which take a lot of time to evacuate.(photo on the left is a FEMA photo of evacuation buses at a staging area in Beeville, ready to roll)
The NOAA Satellite and Information Service has out a new high resolution picture showing Ike setting up its spidery swirl across the entire Gulf of Mexico.
