Ike Update: Next is South Texas


BBC reports that there were only a few deaths and some infrastructure damage, but nothing crippling. It is predicted that Ike will make landfall in south Texas by Friday or Saturday as a Category 3 storm. If the predicted path holds that means that it will not blow through the off shore oil infrastructure, which is why we saw oil prices drop a bit today.

If anything changes, I will update accordingly.
