Watch Hurricanes through these Web Cams
Web cams along the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.
Storms are tough to watch from a web cam because they are not meant to withstand all that abuse. But pick a camera a couple hundred miles away, and you can see high tides, storm surge, and some fantastic cloud formations.
MODULE ORDER
Section 1: Live web cams along the eastern seaboard of the United States.
Starts in Maine, ends in Texas.
Section 2: Photos and links to video of Hurricane Ike.
Section 3: Additional weather watching resources.

Animals on the move during Hurricane Ike
When they tell Texans to evacuate, they mean all Texans!
Fire ants huddle together (or did they hunker down?) and float together. It's a good model for getting a bunch of barges down river too.

By 8pm on 9/17/08, that number, though still high, was reduced to 1.32 million customers without power..

Local TV Weather Coverage
KHOU-TV Houston, LIVE Streaming Video from Channel 11
They were broadcasting live during and after the storm, but it looks like they've stopped. However, they do post news videos frequently and they are very, very good.
Note:
1. Every time they say "hunker down" you have to take a sip of whatever you're drinking. I'm working on my third drink.
2. Any time they say their people are "resilient" you have to take two sips.
3. And if they say something akin to their "Texas spirit" getting them through this catastrophe, you have to chug it down.
