A lone semi tractor trailor makes its' way down I-10 West toward Houston, Friday, Sept. 12, 2008, in Beaumont, Texas. Traffic was sparse throughout the city due to the impending landfall of Hurricane Ike. Hurricane Ike, a colossal storm nearly as big as Texas itself, began battering the coast Friday, threatening to obliterate waterfront towns and give the skyscrapers, refineries and docks of the nation's fourth-largest city their worst pounding in a generation.
