The field is reportedly OK. The Lubbock fire department brought in trucks to pump out the water and the overwhelmed field bilge pumps are back in action, with the ability to pump something like 1,500 gallons a minute combined.

We didn't even get a drop of rain. It's muggy and there's light cloud coverage, but nothing came to the Austin area, everything went to the east.

It looks like some of the remnants are going to be blowing through Oklahoma pretty soon. You may have some weather on your way.

So in other words they cancelled the Texas-Arkansas game for nothing....As for the remnants of Ike, evertything is pretty much east of I-35 and will probably just miss me.

Nah, I think they did the right thing postponing the Texas/Arkansas game. The highways around Houston and Galveston up to the San Antonio and Austin areas were completely jammed yesterday with evacuees. The last thing needed was get more traffic on the road. Things very easily could have turned dangerous in a hurry.

It's just a football game, not worth any potential safety issues.
