MORE ON IKE FROM BRENDAN LOY, including this: “Ike will probably remain Cat. 2 — but storm surge will be huge.” His advice: “Get the Hell out. . . . Coastal residents, do not treat this storm like a typical Category 2! The Gulf of Mexico is about to temporarily reclaim a large chunk of prime Texas real estate. If you’re in a surge zone, this no time to hunker down and complacently recall the names of all the previous storms you’ve successfully weathered, or confidently assert that Ike will turn right, like Rita did. (It might. But you don’t know that. No one does.) This is the time to move inland, to higher ground. Get out of Ike’s way!” Personally, I don’t believe in getting crosswise with hurricanes. So that’s my advice.
