Hurricane Ike's path during landfall.

Hurricane Ike made landfall on Galveston Island, Texas at approximately 2:00 AM on September 13th, causing wide-spread damage in the Houston, Texas area. Although it was only a category 2 storm at landfall, it was a very large storm. About 2 million people lost electricity in the Houston area, and massive power outages occured as far inland as Tennessee and Ohio. Many Texas communities in the Galveston Bay area, including Galveston, Jamaica Beach, Crystal Beach, Surfside, Gilchrist, Winnie, and others suffered severe damage due to both wind damage and storm surge.
