Re: Ike - Buoy 42361 - 108.8 knots (130.56 mph) or 108.8 mph?

I'm afraid that the major damage from Ike will be from the wide extent of the storm surge. With the center still well offshore, surge flooding has already begun from Louisiana to Galveston. A predicted 20 foot surge will easily breach the seawalls at Galveston and farther North at Port Arthur. This is going to be a devastating storm over a very large area.
