Mes­sage for Ike from Port Aransas Texas (Cour­tesy: AP)

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.
