An uncontrolled fire burns in the distance as the eye of hurricane Ike goes over Galveston, Texas, Saturday morning, Sept. 13, 2008. Local fire fighters are unable to work the flames until the storm passes. As of 3 a.m. EDT, Ike was centered about 10 miles southeast of Galveston, moving at 10 mph. It was close to a Category 3 storm with winds of 110 mph. Forecasters predicted it would come ashore somewhere near Galveston and pass almost directly over Houston. (AP Photo/LM Otero)
