Taufan Ike mula membadai kawasan pantai berhampiran Houston semalam dan memberi ancaman kepada bandar keempat terbesar di AS itu serta kawasan sepanjang Teluk Mexico.Ike yang kini menjejaskan satu perlima daripada kawasan pengeluaran minyak AS, menghampiri Pulau Galveston dengan kekuatan pada Kategori 2 sekitar pukul 2.10 pagi (3.10 petang ini waktu Malaysia) dengan kelajuan angin 175 kilometer sejam.
Ia kini dikatakan hanya perlu mencapai tambahan kekuatan satu kilometer sejam lagi untuk berada pada Kategori 3, lapor Pusat Taufan Kebangsaan.
Ike dijangka menjadi taufan terburuk yang pernah melanda Texas dalam tempoh hampir 50 tahun dan merupakan taufan terbesar yang melanda bandar AS sejak Taufan Katrina membadai bandar New Orleans pada akhir 2005.
Ia menyebabkan ombak setinggi enam meter yang menghempas benteng setinggi lima meter yang dibina untuk melindungi Houston daripada bencana ribut atau taufan selepas bandar itu dibadai taufan pada 1900 yang menyaksikan sekurang-kurangnya 8,000 penduduk terbunuh.
Ancaman Ike menyebabkan pihak berkuasa menutup 17 loji pembersih minyak selain menyaksikan sebuah dermaga di Galveston musnah.
Pusat Perkhidmatan Cuaca Kebangsaan menjangkakan taufan tersebut boleh menenggelamkan lebih 100,000 dan menyebabkan banjir di kawasan berhampiran pantai sepanjang 160 kilometer itu.
Lebih sejuta penduduk Texas diarahkan berpindah secara mandatori berikutan kebimbangan ancaman Taufan Ike tersebut.

christina aguilera - the voice within
Young girl dont cry
Ill be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl its alright
Your tears will dry, youll soon be free to fly
When youre safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothings harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means
Chorus:
When theres no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within
Then youll find the strength that will guide your way
Youll learn to begin to trust the voice within
Young girl dont hide
Youll never change if you just run away
Young girl just hold tight
Soon youre gonna see your brighter day
Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
Its so hard to stand your ground when youre so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you look outside look inside to your soul
Chorus
Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as youre learning
Youll find all youll ever need to know
(be strong)
Youll break it
(hold on)
Youll make it
Just dont forsake it because
No one can tell you what you cant do
No one can stop you, you know that Im talking to you
