Recent EventsHurricane Ike: Revisited – On September 13, 2008, the greater Houston-Galveston area was waking up to no lights, no air conditioning, flooded streets and little running water. The area was facing the aftermath of Hurricane Ike that blew into the area that night, causing more than $27 Billion dollars in damages. One year after Ike, on September 14, 2009, a Rice University team of experts at the Severe Storm Prediction, Education and Evacuation from Disasters (SSPEED) Center hosted a day-long event that revisited the storm to determine what has been learned from that devastating occurrence, and what has been put in place for preparation of future severe storms.
