Hurricane Ike is heading for Texas and some people are leaving others are not. The national weather service in Huston said that those who stayed faced certain death.
Hurricane Ike is currently a category 2 storm but it might become a category 3 storm and maybe just maybe a 4 since it has a lot of warm watter to pass over and Hurricanes gain power from warm watter.
But the category system only tells you how fast the winds are moving, apparently Hurricane Ike is HUGE covering most of the gulf of Mexico.
They say that Ike might cause walls of water as high as 22 feet (6,5 meters) to crash in over the coast and if the storm turns a little to the north of its current projected path then it might hit the huston area hard.
Hurricane Ike is predicted to hit the coast late Friday early Saturday local time, we will soon find out how much Ike will blow.
