Hurricane???

I liked to ask a question hoping you all might know the Texas area....being that Im in Maryland and my husband is in SanAntonio right now...do you all know if that storm is going anywhere near where he is at? Im worried sick....

It'****ting around Houtson and Corpus Cristi. San Antonio is 190 miles from there and they are sending evacuees TO San Antonio so he is probably very safe... here is the weather channel article: (if they let me post it).

HOUSTON (AP) -- Authorities in the Houston area and along the Southeast Texas Gulf Coast ordered hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate Thursday as Ike bore down with hurricane-force winds that stretched across more than 200 miles and could gain even more strength.

Forecasters expected the storm's center to reach land this weekend somewhere between Corpus Christi and Houston, potentially punishing Houston and nearby areas even if they are not hit directly. Hurricane winds stretched up to 115 miles in all directions from Ike's center early Thursday.

Mandatory evacuation orders were issued for tens of thousands of people in low-lying areas in Harris County, where Houston is located.

Evacuation orders were also issued for all of Jefferson and Orange counties, between Houston and the Louisiana state line. More than 320,000 people live in the two counties.

Jefferson and Orange were two of three Southeast Texas counties that also had mandatory evacuations as Hurricane Gustav approached about two weeks ago. The region suffered major damage during Hurricane Rita in September 2005.

Four counties south and east of Houston had earlier announced mandatory or voluntary evacuations, and authorities began moving weak and chronically ill patients by bus to San Antonio, about 190 miles from Houston. About 1 million people live in the coastal counties between Corpus Christi and Galveston.
