Here in College Station, we've got a light breeze, and hazy sunshine filtered by the high clouds in the outer reaches of Ike's circulation.

Last night I saw the C-130 flying in with the special-needs patients from the coast.

Jim Cantore on Wx Channel is at the Holiday Inn in Galveston. He keeps focusing on a tall wooden pier (currently getting slammed by waves) and declaring that he'll be shocked if that pier is still there this time tomorrow. Those things are pretty sturdy, but he may be right.
