Texas braces for Hurricane Ike

Onolookers pose for pictures as waves generated by Hurricane Ike crash against the sea wall in Galveston, Texas. The main body of the storm, now rated as Category2 with winds above 100 mph, was expected to hit Galveston late today.

As Hurricane Ike roared through the Gulf of Mexico toward the Texas coastline this morning, authorities issued more urgent warnings to people in low-lying areas along the coast who have not heeded evacuation orders." You don't play with 6- to 20-foot walls of water coming at you," Houston Mayor Pro Tem Adrian Garcia said.
