Hurricane Ike Sitter i Dallas och inväntar Ike. Här kommer det troligtvis inte slå allt för hårt, men vi kan räkna med lite strömavbrott och annat amått och gott. Riktigt hemskt som i Galviston och Houston kommer det inte bli. Speciellt jobbigt blir det för Houston. USA's 4e stösta stad och många fattiga områden med dåliga möjligheter till förberedelser. Själv kommer jag jobba när det slår till här. Men jag jobbar i ell källarklubb, så det kommer nog gå bra. Länk till AP-artickel om stormen
A massive Hurricane Ike sent white waves crashing over a seawall and tossed a disabled 584-foot freighter in rough water as it steamed toward Texas Friday, threatening to devastate coastal towns and batter America's fourth-largest city.
Because of its ominous size, storm surge and flooding were the greatest threats. In unusually strong language, forecasters even warned of "certain death" for stalwarts who insisted on staying in Galveston; most had complied, along with hundreds of thousands of fellow Texans in counties up and down the coastline. But in a move designed to avoid highway gridlock as the storm closed in, most of Houston's 2 million residents hunkered down and were ordered not to leave.
"If the island is going to disappear it has to be a tsunami," he said, as he walked along the block where his home is located, drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette. "If it ain't your time you ain't going anywhere."
