From KSAT-12:
Ike is expected to blow ashore early Saturday somewhere between Corpus Christi and Houston, and some forecasts said it could become a Category 4 storm, with winds of at least 131 mph.
Four counties south and east of Houston have announced mandatory or voluntary evacuations, and authorities are moving weak and chronically ill patients by bus to San Antonio.
South Texas is already getting ready for Ike. Some schools have called off classes through the end of the week, and medically fragile residents are getting on buses to head north.
We'll have a few visitors in town this weekend.

I recommend that everyone fill up all their gas tanks, whether you think you need it or not. Remember how evacuee traffic caused many stations to run out of gas during Rita.
That's a good idea, Alan. And you might want to check your supply of batteries and candles just in case we lose power this weekend.
