Sad
The memorial to those who died in the 1900 hurricane in Galveston was destroyed by Ike.
I’ve been watching the live coverage from KHOU in Houston via CBS.com and they showed the rubble from the monument strewn across the road.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

On a foodie note, sad to hear that Brennan’s of Houston was gutted by fire just as Ike blew into town.
I forget which one, but we lost two restaurants and our second-run movie theater to fires in a single storm. They are electrical fires caused by the wind forcing water into the main circuit boxes.
