Hurricane Ike: A Postcard, NASA Satellite and Map of Target Landfall

As Hurricane Ike bears down on the Texas coast near Houston---with Category 2-3 winds and a 20-40' wall of water advancing---over a million residents flee. The rest batten down the hatches. They certainly need our prayers. Galveston will take the first, big hit. Can its historic seawall built in 1902 hold its own? Only time will tell. Due to hit tonight.


Galveston in better days.

Sea of traffic going mostly in one direction before the wall of water roils ashore Friday night.
