Hi everyone! I promised a one stop shop for tracking Ike and this blog should be it. I have a ton of cams and maps for you to watch this hurricane from the comfort of being in front of your computer. I am also including a local radar to track the showers and storms around here on this Friday.
A couple of quick thoughts locally…
1. Best chance of rain and storms through Saturday will be in the northern part of the north.
2. Saturday afternoon will see drying working in from south to north that will continue into part of Sunday. It will get very warm and humid. Highs can hit 90 in the south.
3. Even with mostly dry weather… a storm or two could pop.
4. Cold front will pick up Ike Monday and lift it into the Ohio Valley. It will be a quick mover with the heaviest rains again toward the north and west.
5. The threat for severe weather will be with us Sunday night and Monday.
6. Much cooler air moves in later Monday into the middle of next week.
Now… here is everything you need to track IKE. These images should update when new data is received. I will caution you that the cams will probably go down as they lose power along the Texas coast.
Galveston, TX
Houston, Tx
Port Lavaca, Tx
Matagorda Bay, Tx
Beaumont, Tx
Cams from the City of Houston… KHOU-TV and weatherbug.

Ike appears to be the worst of the worst.
I agree with William and Marsha, pray for those in Ike’s path. Many of us may see after effects with higher prices, etc., but it will not compare to those that are in its path.
Cool site Randy. That’s one way to keep up with it all!
May god bless the people of Texas,and Kp’s mom.My husband tried to get gas today finally gave up and came home.Has anyone else had that trouble????
crystal, thank you so much for the good thoughts about my mom!! I need to mention that I also have tons of aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, and many friends in Houston. It’s the home of the KP clan!
As far as I know, they are all staying in their homes to ride out the storm. It will be a miserable and very scary night. My brother went out to clean up my mom’s yard and he’s going to stay with her tonight. She may be flooded by a creek and/or backed up sewer lines, but she thinks that’s okay. There are poisonous cotton mouth snakes all over that area and they swim along on top of the water. That alone is reason enough to hightail it out of town!!
Why would anybody want to stick around for that mess, not to mention losing power in that awful heat and humidity? It’s going to be so uncomfortable for everybody.
Galveston will be a tragic mess. It’s a lovely city and I always loved to go there as a kid. Houston will have shattered glass everywhere because the skyscrapers are made of that reflective mirror-type glass.
Thanks again for the kind wishes!!
KP, i believe your Mom will be safe. Tell her to get between the washer and dryer, and put a mattress over top. The small animals will be fine, they will come to her. The aftermath won’t be pretty, though.
I needed gas today, and there was a line ten deep at the Kroget at Regency centre. I skipped it and went to SA on Southland Drive, paid a few pennies more, and got out of there. Then I had to listen to this jerkbag on WLAP, Dan saying that the Gov had called a “
statewide emergency” in Kentucky over IKE. Jerkbag Dan said it was a political stunt. All the Gov did was invoke his emergency power to immediately subpoena and investigate these gas stations in Paducah, Bowling Green, Franklin, Somerset, and the like to the south of us.
Just venting. The winds are strong and hot and pasty from many directions right now.
feederband may I ask how much a gallon you had to pay????
on a lighter note
GFS HYPE: light frost sept 25 with some lake effect snow flakes well north of us.
