It looks like, from the latest track this morning, that anyone from Corpus Christi to Houston could really feel the punch from Hurricane Ike. As of 4 AM CDT this morning, the winds were at 100 mph – a strong Category 2. They are predicting that Ike may become a Category 3, even a Category 4, by the time it makes landfall.

My thoughts and prayers are with my fellow Americans this morning in Texas. May Ike make landfall in a rural area and not hit any major populated area. I hope no one has to go through what we here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast had to endure during Katrina. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy – not even Osama bin Laden…Well, I might wish that on bid Laden.
