A Million People Evacuate Texas Due To Ike

Well we are certainly being reminded that it is hurricane season. Another hurricane is about to wreak its havoc. This time Texas is in its path. These hurricanes need to take a break already.

As Hurricane Ike charged into the Gulf's fueling waters and toward the Texas coast, officials prepared Wednesday to evacuate the first of 1 million residents who could be in the way of the storm's path. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center predicted Ike, which has already raked the Caribbean and Cuba, would feed on the Gulf's warm waters and intensify before slamming into Texas somewhere near Corpus Christi early Saturday morning.
