We had to prep for the storm just as Galveston did, cause you never really know till the last minute where that sucker is coming in. Naturally, the press crew was one of the first groups to bail out of Dodge while photographers were headed in the opposite direction.

So it appears Ike might be my first hurricane experience.
See, northern girls don't face hurricanes. We see ice storms, blizzards and the possible tornado warning. Snow days were the best.
But hurricanes? Not so much.
So I think I'm allowed to be a bit apprehensive about the whole...

Well, John McCain is just as good at giving unscripted speeches as his twin brother, Dubya. Did anyone watch this besides me? Does anyone besides me find him a strange little man?

There are no guarantees, but at least one forecaster believes there will be a near-normal number of hurricanes and tropical storms this year.
More importantly, AccuWeather.com's forecast calls for a relatively large percentage of those storms to strike the United...
