I have a question for the for my fellow comrades of the leaf. Hurricane Ike is currently slamming into Cuba. I know it will probably do a lot of damage to the tobacco crop. But how long will it take to effect the market?

We have a beach house being built down in ort O connor, and hopefully this thing wont cause to much damage. Houston usually tends to fare pretty well in these storms, besdes the flooding in some areas, but hopefully this thing will really start to putter out or move up further over the swamp land or something.

Stay safe guys in the Houston area!
And Galveston is only an hour southeast of Houston on the coast. If Ike hits all those refineries then we could be in trouble.

Already scattered clouds and a little wind here. Tropical force winds by midday tomorrow.

Will keep updates here for as long as possible. Good luck and stay safe to our brothers in Houston and everyone along the East Texas coast!

We're up in Dallas and we're a little more than worried about this storm. They're predicting 60mph sustained winds and 4 to 6" of rain. Damn! I'm gonna have to clean to pool out Monday.
