Ye gods, Ike really has done a number on Texas. That's a large set of full screen pictures there, #11 is particularly shocking but the whole lot is scary.

approx. 50 foot storm surge apparently, which is...odd for a Cat 2 hurricane making landfall. But I guess it had time to build up.

ah it turned out to only be 15 feet. That makes more sense. Not that a 15 foot storm surge isn't deadly enough.
