Is anyone else tracking Hurricane Ike? Have you seen what I have? A Category 4 Hurricane barreling directly towards Galveston and Houston, Texas. That is a monster. They've issued mandatory evacuation notices, informing people if they stay it is certain death.

Anyone on my flist from Houston? I pray you are safe and far far far away at the moment.
