Bullseye! League City Texas was in the path of Hurricane Ike. We evacuated to Mike's shop in Pasadena Texas where we rode out the storm. We lost power around 9:00 PM Sept 13 as Ike was approaching with 110 mile an hour winds.

Hurricane Ike slammed into the Gulf Coast, shredding buildings, flooding streets, and knocking out power for millions of people. With winds reaching 110 miles (177 kilometers) an hour, Ike came ashore over Galveston, Texas, as a strong Category 2 storm just after 3 a.m. EST. The massive storm, nearly as big as Texas itself, moved over Houston before dawn, blowing out windows and scattering documents from skyscrapers such as the 75-story Chase Tower, the state's tallest building.
