NOAA released a new computer model of the projected path of Hurricane IKE. The massive hurricane is expected to slam Texas around Galveston sometime of Friday. The National Weather Service issued a stern warning to people living in small houses on Galveston Island that they faced “certain death” from flooding if they remained in their homes.
In the storm’s path are the nation’s largest concentrations of oil refineries, the Johnson Space Center, the resorts on Galveston Island and Houston’s downtown of skyscrapers. More than four million people live in Houston and its suburbs.
