Hurricane Ike hits as strong Category 2
Ike blew ashore near Galveston Bay with maximum winds of 110 mph (strong Category 2) at 2:10 AM.
The eye of the storm passed just east of Houston, where 4 million people are without power Saturday morning.
The storm will move through eastern Texas today and reach western Arkansas tonight. Showers and thundershowers from Ike should reach Middle Tennessee Sunday afternoon/evening.
Behind Ike, it will feel like Fall Monday through the rest of the work/school week. Lingering low clouds may prompt an isolated sprinkle on Monday, but look for highs in the upper 70s and low humidity to dominate the week’s forecast.
