The sunset in downtown Houston was amazing. Red and orange light lit up the tops of speeding black hurricane bands over our heads. I tried to take some photos but 30-4mph gusts ruined all attempts.

Ike is closing in on Galveston and the video making it out looks pretty horrific. We’ll probably take a real turn for the worse after midnight here. That’s been the case for every hurricane I’ve been in for some reason.

It still looks like we’re in line to pass through the eye of the storm. More updates to come – as long as I can anyway.
