Hurricane Ike Approaching Downtown Houston
by John Little on 12/09/2008
We’re getting some strong gusts now but the real weather is still on the way. It’s pretty amazing to watch the cloud bands circle by at high speed. Unfortunately, the bad stuff is going to hit us just as it gets dark. Riding out a major hurricane in the dark – probably without electricity – can be slightly unpleasant.
I’ll be up capturing video and photos, monitoring the police scanner, and posting upates throught the night and early morning – at least as long as the Red Bull and broadband hold out.
