Ike Update

Video and TV coverage from Houston/Galveston this afternoon is incredible. Storm surge is already affecting the area with 5-10' of water. Hard to imagine there is another 5-10' of water coming... Found a good website to watch Houston local coverage on: http://www.maroonspoon.com/wx/ike.html

Also, hurricane blogger Dr. Jeff Masters at Weather Underground does an awesome job of breaking it all down: http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/
