Texas Gulf Coast
Well it looks like its gonna be a bad one. Hurricane IKE is still 18 hours out and Galveston is flooding already and a drop of rain hasnt even fell yet, and the storm surge hasnt come yet its gonna be bad. They say this storm is about the size of the State of Texas.
Just wanted to say good luck to you all and stay safe.

Tidal surge is now over taking Galveston. Most of the sea front is under water and flooding is happening very quickly. 61st St is getting close to being flooded which will cut off traffic flow on 45. Within the hour the only way to get off the island is by helicopter. I've been watching our Gulf data trackers for the rigs and buoys and the pressures are rapidly increasing. The inter Gulf buoys are seeing sustained 30ft swells. This could be a really bad one folks.

61st is now 3ft under water. The San Jacinto river has risen 8ft. One buoy I've been watching is 22 nautical miles out at 27.55 LAT -92.49 LON and its seeing sustained windspeed of over 100 knots, swells above 30ft, pressure staying just below 29in, and get this...water temperature has dropped to 79*. Keep in mind this is almost 200 miles ahead of Ike. This is not good, its building strength.
