I do not think that the Mods will elevate this to breaking news unless nautinurse requests it. Also, Ike is projected to be a tropical storm in a number of states starting late tomorrow, but they have not been added to the topics list. It has been suggested to NN a number of times that this should be done, but hasn't happened yet. I expect that she is ggetting some needed rest now.
The local 2 Houston reporter is doing a repeat. The part of the bridge that was damaged while he was on it is gone. The tide has washed away everything from the dune to the Gulf.
... And Ike isn’t even here yet...
