I grew up in the same area that Hurricane IKE set to land. I rode out Hurricane Alicia which was a category 3 in 1983 when it hit head on my hometown and, rode that out in a huge baptist church.
This past storm ,as it hit my hometown, I was calm because I knew a storm that huge in diameter is usually just a big barker and would have no bite. This is why I know many people rode out the storm along the coast because they had been through many and intuitively knew that huge hurricanes with huge eyes are no threat. This time, it is looking like this may no longer be the case. Something is afoot.
Inland, the reports are coming in that the damage wasn't that great , but those places along Galveston Bay and the Intracoastal waterway are reporting damage. The FACTS in Brazoria County is reporting that BASF and DOW Chemical USA weren't even touched. Freeport was lucky. It is looking like, now , when a hurricane comes, it is time to leave. Local Houston Area news stations are reporting many lives just ewashed out to the ocean at Crach and elsewhere.
