Water coming to the lobby of the Clear Lake Hilton Hotel now. People are moving up to the second floor.
Glass ceiling in lobby came crashing down into the lobby but no one hurt.

We have some pretty go winds here in Friendswood. So far so good, generator is humming away. Power has been out about an hour.
Making landfall hasn’t taken much out of this storm... although it’s inevitable. In the latest NOAA update, a warning of 25’ surges is possible (in the shallow bays mainly). Hurricane winds out to 125 miles (x 2) covers a 250 mile swath. Tropical storm winds cover over 500 miles in all directions. Inland, Port Arthur, reported a 96 mile an hour gust.
Here in central IL, we should see the remnants of Ike Sunday.
