I guess that's not so bad. I thought the island was already under water?
We're not gonna really know till morning anyway. When the sun comes up we'll really see what Ike is doing.

Are you getting this info from the H-Town stations coverage?
Yeah BB.
Shoog, the problem is the worst is now beginning.
Anybody heard from easjer, SFIE or Enigma? I understand part of Houston lost power...If things slow down later, I'll go back and read this posts from the thread I haven't read yet..

I can't imagine living in Houston without power. I've never been to a place that felt as bad a H-Town in the summer; even Palm Springs with its 120 degree summer highs doesn't compare. I lived in Houston two years, and I never turned the air conditioner off at any time between the months of March and October.
I'm watching the Houston radar live. I'm thinking this may be a little worse than they are projecting as far as surge back in the bay. Looks like the right side of the eye will just clip the east end of Galveston island. When those winds switch from east/west to south/north it's gonna be pumping that bay full of water for 6+ hours...
Geraldo is hanging on to a tree...good grief.

Dude - lol - he has no pride. I"d be like you es I'm going inside.
Yeah I was looking at that myself. Baytown and Texas City are gonna get it.
He was all "yeah we had to move from the seawall, it was just too crazy" YEAH YOU THINK BUDDY!
Wow the radar really is fascinating right now! It looks a lot like a starfish the way those vorticies are spinning.
Well, I'm hunkered down with a cold beer for the duration LOL
And that stupid mayor didn't order a mandatory evac because of their precious levee...man I hop that holds true for their sake.
This monster is just classic. can't believe it's holding such a well defined eye/shape/form while whacking the shoreline with the north side.
I can't imagine how any sane person could refuse to evacuate after watching thousands of people die in Louisiana and Mississippi only three years ago; absolutely mind-boggling.
Its so huge that its going to take a lot of land to wind it down. It'll have a solid eye for a long time over land.
Al Quaida couldn't have picked a better path for this mother er to follow to make sure that it ed up the most stuff.
Man, why does Fox News have so much crap on the screen instead of the main video? I feel like I'm watching the Ow! My Balls channel from Idiocracy.
That's what she said.
So has the storm surge hit yet?
ROFLROFLROFL
It really sucks because they have the best video of any of the networks right now.
