We know this will hit the Gulf Coast. But where...?

National Hurricane Center

I say Ike bitchslaps Tina before they even get to the Gulf Coast.

From the Associated Press:

Turks and Caicos - Hurricane Ike damaged most of the homes on Grand Turk island as it roared onto the Bahamas, raked Haiti's flooded cities with rain and threatened the Florida Keys on its way to Cuba as a ferocious Category 4 storm Sunday.

Turks and Caicos premier Michael Misick said Ike damaged 80 percent of the homes on the main island and that hundreds lost their roofs as the hurricane made a near-direct hit. People have been cowering in closets and under stairwells and "just holding on for life. They got hit really, really bad," he told The Associated Press Sunday morning.

when people have nothing to talk about, they talk about the weather

We could really use the rain here in Ohio. Send him our way

Ike is coming my way. Houston is already showing signs of chaos. People are running red lights, rushing to the supermarkets. Looks like the Rita Chaos all over again, but this one will hit us

left clear lake/seabrook this morning at 9a.m. traffic wasn't that bad, but i'm glad we left. we're now safe and sound in dallas.

i believe this is the real deal this time.
