Hurricane Ike is making landfall now as we speak at 1:30AM ET (9/13) as a 110 MPH "2" storm -- one more click and it could've been a "3".

Hope everyone in the area is staying safe -- especially the dolt in the bear costume frolicking in the waves. That would make a great sketch for Late Show with David Letterman -- "can a Guy in a Bear Suit Survive a Storm Surge?"
