How ironic........On Sept. 8, 1900, Galveston, Texas, was struck by a hurricane that killed an estimated 8,000 people.Ike has now moved into the Gulf of Mexico headed toward the southern Texas coastline where it could strike land early Saturday. Ike could grow into a major Category 3 storm before slamming into Texas or northern Mexico. Texas put 7,500 National Guard members on standby and urged coastal residents to stock up on supplies. Latest projections pointed Ike toward the middle of the Texas coast, possibly between Copus Christi and Port Lavaca/Port Aranzas.
