I really hope the reports of 20k people left in Galveston are overblown. I can't believe that many people would stay, especially when there was already flooding yesterday afternoon.
Anyways, I'm in Houston. Not much has happened yet, just some wind and the occasional gust.

It was 1900 and a Category 4 hurricane. Still one of the worst storms in terms of lives lost I believe. All the more reason I can't believe people are staying. Everyone in Galveston knows what happened in 1900. Sure there is a Seawall now, but Ike will still be devestating.
