Ike is schedualed to arrive around 2 AM (That is the center of Ike, winds will start this afternoon/evening). He is projected to be a strong Hurricane 2 or weak Hurricane 3. However, the Surge levels (not wind speeds) are more like a hurricane level 5. Parts of Galveston are already under water. The piers have already collapsed and homes are already beginning to flood. Those who are still in Galveston have been told that if they don't leave, they WILL DIE! The whole island of Galveston is supposed to be completely under water for at least 12 hours, possibly days. SCARY!!
