Ike is a big dude and not moving all that fast.
I imagine the surge from the NE corner of the storm is really tearing up along the coast now. Hope the refineries aren't hit too bad and most importantly, injuries and deaths are low in Texas from Ike,
Expecting $5.50/gal or more for gas here in NC by the end of today. People were panicking yesterday with several traffic jams all over as people lined up to buy fuel. Amazing folk's attitude about it all....desperation.
One would think Ike was coming in here...Anyway, stay safe.
IKE may be moving fairly slow, but it is not as slow as tropical storm Faye was earlier here in Florida.
The rainfall from Faye was much worse than what IKE will drop.
