Can you believe - we haven&#39;t seen a trace of Hurricane Ike, until now, but the seas are so high with this humungous storm that we have had 12 foot waves in St. Petersburg and several housing developments are flooded, this is amazing as we are on the opposite side of the gulf.  Oh my goodness this is going to be one of the worst storms we have seen. The wave height in Mobile today was 20 foot - everything flooded. My prayers go out to residents of the Texas in the path of this monster.
