Ike report
Of the Houston folks I know and have info on,and who a few people here might know:
tprjones is having rain (he's got a webcam up and is giving reports via phone on his LJ if you're interested) and power flickers.
myrialux, on the west side (near the Loop and I-10), is just having wind, and the Taskers, farther southeast, are without power. None of them live in mandatory evacuation zones (the zones most likely to flood).
ETA: Hurrican tracker. I'm up in Fort Worth, and the predicted hurricane track right now is veering to the east and avoiding Dallas/Fort Worth, so probably lots of rain but not huge storms for me.

The eye was tracking straight for Galveston at 10 pm. I just wrote an article about the 1900 hurricane there ... .

Isaac's Storm
People interested in the 1900 Galveston Hurricane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galveston_Hurricane_of_1900) may find Isaac's Storm (http://www.amazon.com/Isaacs-Storm-Deadliest-Hurricane-History/dp/0375708278/) an interesting read. I wonder if they'll build the storm wall even higher after Ike.
