Hurricane Ike has left Cuba and is over the Gulf of Mexico on its way to Texas. Mike Seidel of the Weather Channel, the cable outfit recently acquired by NBC-Universal, briefed anchor Brian Williams on the storm track. ABC's Mike von Fremd was prepositioned in Dallas where the Red Cross, cash-strapped from its recent flood relief along the Mississippi River, is setting up shelters for evacuees from the Houston area. NBC filed a rare report from Havana on the floods and power outages as Ike hit both the east and the west of Cuba. Mark Potter told us that the western storm damage came hard on the heels of destruction left by Hurricane Gustav: "Ike blew away the few repairs that had been made."
