Hurricane Ike is being touted as potentially the fiercest storm to hit the Texas Gulf Coast since the deadly storm of 1900.
Some 8,000 people died in that hurricane 108 years ago.
Space News Examiner Patricia Phillips reports that NASA's Mission Control in Houston is moving to storm quarters and delaying supply shipments to the International Space Station.
Check out the videos below of the devastation left by the 1900 storm, including a video filmed by an assistant of Thomas Edison that's considered perhaps the oldest film in existence of a natural disaster. The second video is from a Houston newscast in 1994, which says the death toll from the storm was 6,000 - a toll that has since been raised to 8,000.
