The only thing new I have to add is that I’m a nervous eater, and at this rate, I will probably put on 25 lbs. tonight.
Power blinked again. I’m sure each of these is another neighborhood dropping off the grid.

10:20 Update
Amazed I’m still online. Cheering for Centerpoint Energy (the local transmission company).
Clear Lake buoy info. For non-Houstonians, this is on the west side of the bay, near NASA. Notice the blue line? Tide is supposed to be going OUT.
10:10 Update
Still here. Still no rain. Ike’s front edge may be getting sheared off, and it’s swallowed some dry air. If that makes it sputter, great, but the surge is still going to be there, no matter what. Too late for that to change.
Confirmed report of two fires in Galveston, unknown how many homes are involved in the second one.
Note about my earlier risk estimate: that’s based on the full zone A and B, and is a WAG. If it’s just the eastern portions closer to the bay, we may luck out and only have 2-300,000 at risk. I really, really hope that 40% figure is way high.
“Only,” he says.
9:55 Update
Some homes on fire in Galveston due to blown transformers. Storm surge has blocked GFD, they can’t get to them. No calls to the emergency management center from people asking to be removed. Do they have phone service?
Is Rita ripping up? Look at the gaps on the west side.
Freeport PD lost their generator, and 911 service for a while. They diverted another, which cost them their AC.
Just about everywhere is under curfew now. Power blinking….
9:40 Update
Still up….
San Jac river will rise 6 feet by tomorrow morning, backing up from Galveston bay. Flood warning called; if that’s all, it won’t be too bad.
Bear in mind that the water is supposed to be going to low tide right now. It will be moving to high tide just as the storm arrives. Joy.

Might be last post. Power blinked again. 250k people without power by now. Estimates that there may be a few million without power, and it may take a couple of weeks to restore it inland, a month along the cost.
Outer bands about to hit my area.
There’s a lot of reporters in Galveston and the shore of the bay. Wonder how many of them we’re going to lose?
9:25 Update
Starting to rain here. (edit: not much, just a few drops.)
Channel 13 is running a graphic with only the originally announced zip codes to evac. Did they ever call for a full Zone A & B evac or not? The media doesn’t seem to know, and I’m not sure anyone else does. This lack of clarity is just stunning, 3 years after Rita. Did anyone read the playbook?
Update: Power blinked right after I posted this. I hear a levee failed in N.O.
9:10 Update
Power blinked again. No rain yet. Winds may be reaching tropical storm force? At least 35-40mph I think.
edit: pretty close. Observed conditions equal a moderate gale.
8:55 Update
GALVESTON — Despite a mandatory evacuation and ominous forecasts of a killer storm, police, firefighters and the Galveston Beach Patrol rescued dozens of residents Friday from the rising tides brought on by Hurricane Ike as it bears down on Galveston Island. Many had stayed on the island through numerous other hurricanes and were surprised by the height of the tidal surge. City officials estimated that as many as 40 percent of the island’s about 60,000 residents remained in their homes.
Good Lord. That’s twice what I expected. If that proportion is the same for for zones A and B (areas that “never flood”)…
US Census: Galveston county popuation, 283,551, for both island and mainland. Clear lake is 65k. Power’s getting iffy again, can’t research more.
Toss in southern Harris county near the bay, Chambers county and so on, if that % holds true, there could be 300,000-500,000 people at risk.
8:40 update
Let’s not forget Beaumont and Port Arthur. They’re going to be the “Baton Rouge” of Ike. Right now, the very worst part of the surge is aimed closer to them, and they don’t have have any of the coverage that we do. So they may well suffer like Baton Rouge (which is STILL over 30% out of power), while we play New Orleans and get all the air time and attention. Right now, I’d rather be here than there.
Ask me that again in six hours, if you can….
8:30 update.
Still much less wind than expected. No rain here yet. First death reported.
Traffic cameras at I-10 and San Jac river no longer reporting on HCOEM site. Let me rephrase: no longer listed. Not the usual “No Data Available.” An attempt to save their server bandwidth?
Power steady at the moment.
8:20 update
Last data from tide gauge at the Battleship Texas was a couple of hours ago. About 5 feet over normal:

8:05pm
Second power blink, seems a bit weak now. No idea how long it will stay on. Wind not really bad yet.
Oops.
Moving one of the trucks backfired. The configuration of the buildings put it in a “chute” and some molding got ripped off already. We debated going to retrieve it but decided it’s a bad idea.
Wind’s Picking Up
Just spent a few minutes outside. Stronger winds, a few gusts probably to tropical storm strength. Out of due north now. Clouds moving very fast across the sky.
